Ferris Bueller's day Off
In The Mood For Films by Donald Lowndes Sanderson
Episode notes
In which Donald, Wes and Rob discuss the phenomenon of the high school movie as exemplified by John Hughes's '80s classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off. In the US this location for films is so ubiquitous that it can be part of the horror, musical, comedy and even film noir genres. Other films we discuss are Wes Anderson's sophomore movie Rushmore, Dazed and Confused, Richard Linklater's next film after Slacker and Lindsay Anderson's incendiary English public school based If... . Our school days are a time we never forget, but what do we remember about them?
