Criterion Now – Episode 17 – 45 Years, Cannes 2017, Abbas Kiarostami, David Lynch

Aaron and two new guests, Jason Beamish and Kyle Reardon, dig into 45 Years, Cannes 2017, David Lynch and a number of other topics. This ended up being an unpopular opinions episode, as we all took some shots against conventional wisdom. Since Kyle is the youngest guest on the podcast, we gave him a list of films to watch, but found that he had quite the art and classic film foundation.

I am a somewhat educated Criterion dork, with a History and Film Studies bachelor's degree and plenty of self-education over the years. My tastes are all over the map. Probably my favorite is 1930s French Poetic Realism, but I like everything from noir, to animation, to horror, westerns, and modern film. Usually I prefer film that challenges and requires something of the viewer.
