Masters of Cinema*
Season 1
Call Me by Your Name
Anora
Fargo
by Ol' Evbo & Dr. Uptown Cinema
Ol' Evbo had the HARDEST time trying to understand this piece of cinema, and Dr. Cinema scolds him at every occasion as they discus 2017's Call Me by Your Name. "What is love?" and "what is intimacy?" are just some of the questions they avoiding answering while obsessing over peaches filled with mysterious substances.
The good "doctor" and I discuss the most recent winner of the Best Picture Oscar, Sean Baker's "Anora". Ol' Evbo desperately tries to make sense of Dr. Cinema's teachings, which seem to be mostly stories about himself or incoherent ramblings, however, they both agree that there is a LOT of nudity in this movie and that it won many awards!
Dr. Cinema and I discuss the Coen bros' classic, that might have actually not been directed by them after all. We break down just how ugly Steve Buscemi is and if the silly accents used in this movie are actually deserving of awards. The journey to understanding high cinema continues!
I try to learn how to appreciate the 1957 classic "12 Angry Men" with a weird film professor that I found off the internet.
