The Criterion Project

Happy New Year! We're back with a regular episode of the podcast, with a forgotten Christmas gem from Frank Capra. MEET JOHN DOE was meant to be the "Mr. Deeds of 1941", but instead is a much more fascinating movie in which Barbara Stanwyck inadvertently molds Gary Cooper into the most popular and inspiring man in America.

We start the fifth season of The Criterion Project by talking about The Spirit of the Beehive (1973), one of the most acclaimed movies in the history of Spanish cinema. Set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, the movie follows a small girl named Ana who becomes fascinated with the mysteries of life and death after attending a screening of James Whale's Frankenstein. This was the debut feature by director Victor Erice, who after directing a trio of beloved classics, is finally returning to the big screen this year with 'Close Your Eyes,' his first movie in more than 30 years.

We are joined by culture writer and critic Murtada Elfadl to talk about BLACK GIRL, the breakthrough film for director Ousmane Sembene, who is widely regarded as the "father of African cinema." Being the first Sub-Saharan African film to make a splash on the world stage, the movie was also a breakthrough for African cinema as a whole. This radical tale of a young Senegalese woman who immigrates to France to have her dreams of a better life quickly shatter before her eyes is one of only two African films to have been included in the most recent Sight and Sound poll of the best films ever made, and one of the most influential movies of our time.   Keep up with Murtada and his work by follwing him on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ME_Says Follow us on itunes and leave you ratings and reviews: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-criterion-project/id1479953904 Follow us on anchor https://anchor.fm/criterionproject Follow our twitter at https://twitter.com/criterionpod Check out Conrado's webseries WORMHOLES on youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC51Tg9gR5mXxEeaansRUYRw Follow Conrado's blog cocohitsny.wordpress.com/  Follow Conrado on Letterboxd https://letterboxd.com/cofalco21/ Listen to Conrado's other podcasts like Foreign Invader and Movie Marriage: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/foreign-invader/id1552560225 Rachel's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hallmarkies Follow Rachel's blog at rachelsreviews.net Follow Rachel on twitter twitter.com/rachel_reviews Listen to Rachel's Reviews on Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/rachels-reviews/id1278536301?mt=2 Listen to  Hallmarkies Podcast at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hallmarkies-podcast/id129672828 Our theme music is written by Michael Lloret: https://www.michael-lloret.com/

Louis Gaudio, our good friend and host of the wonderful Robots vs. Dinosaurs podcast joins us to talk about Terry Gilliam's BRAZIL, a retro-futurist satire about an office worker trapped in an oppressive world of bureaucratic nonsense. Inspired by Franz Kafka, George Orwell, and with a good dose of Monty Python-esque comedy, the movie had a lot of trouble getting released in theaters, but ended up becoming one of the most influential pieces of science fiction filmmaking of the last couple decades.  Follow us on itunes and leave you ratings and reviews: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-criterion-project/id1479953904 Follow us on anchor https://anchor.fm/criterionproject Follow our twitter at https://twitter.com/criterionpod Listen to Lou's podcast Robots vs. Dinosaurs: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/robots-vs-dinosaurs/id1530753701 Rachel's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hallmarkies Follow Rachel's blog at rachelsreviews.net Follow Rachel on twitter twitter.com/rachel_reviews Listen to Rachel's Reviews on Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/rachels-reviews/id1278536301?mt=2 Listen to  Hallmarkies Podcast at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hallmarkies-podcast/id129672828 Check out Conrado's webseries WORMHOLES on youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC51Tg9gR5mXxEeaansRUYRw Follow Conrado's blog cocohitsny.wordpress.com/  Follow Conrado on Letterboxd https://letterboxd.com/cofalco21/ Listen to Conrado's other podcasts like Foreign Invader and Movie Marriage: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/foreign-invader/id1552560225 Our intro is written by Michael Lloret: https://www.michael-lloret.com/
