Film Fallout Podcast #138 - Happy At Eternity's Gate

Published: Dec. 6, 2018, 2:58 a.m.

Christopher Cross and Dylan Schwan looked into the weekend into an empty slate of films. Then they saw the first film in 8 years from Julian Schnabel, At Eternity's Gate. Can Schnabel transcend the biopic genre once again? Is the cinematography low-key amazing? Why hasn't Chris seen The Diving Bell & the Butterfly? You'll find the answers for some of these questions in this brand new episode. Dylan took in another arthouse hit with Netflix's acquisition of Alice Rohrwacher's Happy As Lazzaro. He checks out what makes this sociopolitical fable so popular and whether it is all everything that everyone has said it is. Chris caught another Raid inspired action film from the Philippines called Buybust. He tells us whether it's worth our time and whether it can warrant its two hour runtime. Make sure to listen in next week for our jam-packed episode where we talk about Alfonso Cuaron's Roma, Brady Corbet's Vox Lux and finish off with a main review of the latest Yorgos Lanthimos film, The Favourite.
