Episode 145: L'Amour Braque + La Cérémonie
Om avsnittet
The fabulous Samm Deighan is back with us this week to delve into a couple of great, underseen French films - and also to tell us all about her new book on the work of that great master of cinema insanity, Andrzej Żuławski. Exciting! We kick off our double feature with Żuławski's frantic ode to mad French mobsters, L'Amour Braque (1985) and we follow that up with La Cérémonie (1995), directed by Claude Chabrol - a domestic thriller about class, shame and sociopathy that comes on like a television procedural but hits you like a gut punch when you least expect it. Oof!!!
L'Amour Braque is so dense and confusing that we'd probably recommend listening to this before you watch it - and spoilers are made up for by being properly prepped for its unique vibe - but Spoiler Territory was ESSENTIAL for La Cérémonie. Skip ahead to 1:58:34 to avoid spoilers for that one.
