  • Hirokazu Kore-eda: Monster
    Feb 21 2024
    We go back to our Deep Cut roots with Kore-eda's latest, but don't call us Monster(s) for skipping out on the previously released Broker! Awarded the Queer Palm at Cannes in 2023, Monster is a return to form (and Japan) for Kore-eda, igniting a sprawling conversation about the film and its connections to his larger ouevre. We debate the film's visual treatment, the limits of its Rashomon-esque structure, and share our thoughts on what kind of story the ending is really trying to tell. Jessica Yeung's Review Kore-eda Interview with Filmmaker Magazine (2009) Ben's Video Essay on Still Walking (Spoilers!) Find refuge from the storm in our ⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠ server!

  • Marilou Diaz-Abaya: Moral
    Feb 4 2024
    Join us for a Deep Cut episode on the exceptional 1982 film Moral from director Marilou Diaz-Abaya. The trio are blown away by the intricate script work and editing within the film, and they finally help coin the acronym GFWTM (Go Fucking Watch This Movie) for Wilson to use in the future. Eli and Ben discuss how Diaz-Abaya and screenwriter Ricky Lee can achieve an impactful broader perspective in this web of life film. Will Ben ever add this film to his Best Friend Film Canon letterboxd list? Listen in to find out. Are you a fan of Filipino cinema? Tell us on our discord⁠⁠!~ Keep up with Deep Cut on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠.
