The Passenger (1975), Peeping Tom (1960)

In what will likely go down as the nerdiest and most esoteric
Extra Milestone yet, I am joined by my good friend and fellow
hardcore cinephile Andrew McMahon to discuss a pair of
significant, influential, and all-around great films. We begin
with a lengthy discussion of Michelangelo Antonioni’s reflective
1975 thriller The Passenger, in addition to Antonioni’s career as
a whole that we’re familiar with, followed by a look at Michael
Powell’s career-ending 1960 horror film Peeping Tom. We get into
a lot of exciting history and interconnectivity to the greater
cinematic art form over the course  of both conversations,
and we hope it’s just as fun to listen to as it was to record.

NEXT WEEK: Julia Teti makes her triumphant and
long-awaited return to Cinemaholics for April’s main Extra
Milestone!


NOTE: In this episode, I incorrectly assume that
Andrei Tarkovsky was probably fond of Antonioni’s 1964 film Red
Desert, when in actuality he rather despised it! Who knew?
