Episode #8: Directors in their Non-Native Language (Blow-Up and Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters)
1 hour 14 minutes Posted May 21, 2022 at 2:23 pm.
On episode 8 of Floating Through Film, we do another one-week topic before starting our new series next week. We chose as our subject this week to talk about films that directors have made in countries that they're not from, especially in languages that are not in their native language. The list is huge and filled with great movies, so we just give some of our overall thoughts on this phenomenon in film history, before moving to our reviews for this week, Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 film Blow-Up
and Paul Schrader's 1985 film Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters
