 In this episode, I discussed Michael Haneke's The White Ribbon, comparing it to Atom Egoyan's The Sweet Hereafter. Listen to it at the link below and feel free to give any feedback in this thread. www.mtolfeed.com/morethanonelesson24.mp3 |

Good episode, except for the part where you apologized for the prior episodes!

Yeah, I'm trying to let the listeners see behind the curtain a little bit. I believe in transparency in podcasting. The only problem with that is that very few people are interested in seeing the innermost thoughts of a neurotic mess.

That's what makes audio so compelling -- it is so much more personal than video is, from old-time radio drama to talk radio to the local DJ, etc ... Keep the personal stuff coming.
I like seeing the innermost thoughts of a neurotic mess -- that wasn't what I was referring to. My "issue" was the content of the apology, not that you got personal -- I loved those episodes!
BTW, I noticed that this movie is showing at a local theatre, and I may just go see it, thanks to your recommendation.

Well, shoot. Now I don't really even remember what I specifically said. I guess I'll go back and listen to it.

My girlfriend and I saw The White Ribbon and loved it. I saw this episode coming down the pipeline the same day that I saw it was showing for $3 at a local theater. It's not very often there is a film that moves this slowly and holds my attention this well. I was absolutely astounded at the performances by the children in the cast, especially. I absolutely agree with you about the way Haneke uses the camera to show us an actor's expression, or to leave us outside and have us hear it. I remember being absolutely pulled in when the pastor's children are called in to be disciplined, and we are left out in the hall, hearing but not seeing what's going on.

Haneke has a strong sense of what the human imagination is capable of. As such, he realizes that he doesn't need to show us everything. Sometimes, he merely needs to suggest it, and we'll do the rest.
I mentioned Funny Games on the episode. I highly recommend going back and watching it (the original; I haven't seen the remake).
