S1 Ep242: Tony Richardson + The Lighthouse + Terry Gilliam + Queen & Slim

Published: Feb. 5, 2020, 6 p.m.

How many new releases is too many? We know the answer but we don't care. In this week's photo negative show Aidan spills the beans on Robert Eggers's follow-up to The VVitch, The Lighthouse. Tim, meanwhile, still can't quite believe we're getting to see Terry Gilliam's passion project The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, and Graham sees one of his favourite subgenres expertly revived in Queen & Slim, a lovers-on-the-run movie for the Beyonce era.

Before that, there's our director's lottery to attend to, in which we vault all of Tony Richardson's hits in favour of the super-rare Laughter in the Dark, a Nabokov adaptation never released on home video, starring Nicol Williamson and the late, great Anna Karina.
