Episode 88 – Jane Campion’s Sweetie

Play

This is the podcast dedicated to The Criterion Collection. Ryan Gallagher  and  James McCormick  are joined by Melissa Molina from Latino Review to  discuss Criterion Collection news & rumors and new releases. They also discuss Criterion # 356, Jane Campion’s 1989 film, Sweetie.


Though she went on to create a string of brilliant films, Jane Campion will always be remembered for her stunning debut feature, Sweetie, which focuses on the hazardous relationship between the buttoned-down, superstitious Kay and her rampaging, devil-may-care sister, Sweetie’”and on their family’s profoundly rotten roots. A feast of colorful photography and captivating, idiosyncratic characters, the tough and tender Sweetie heralded the emergence of this gifted director, as well as a renaissance of Australian cinema, which would take the film world by storm in the nineties.
