Ep. 26 Peterloo

Host John Cribbs is joined on the latest episode of The Pink Smoke
podcast by Martin Kessler of Flixwise: Outpost Canada to discuss
Mike Leigh's latest film, Peterloo. A historical drama looking at
the semi-forgotten massacre at St. Peter's field in 1819, the film
sees Manchester-ite Leigh returning to his home turf and somewhat
unfamiliar artistic territory. With Vera Drake, Topsy-Turvy and Mr.
Turner, historical dramas aren't precisely strange terrain for
Leigh, so what makes Peterloo feel like the filmmaker has stepped
outside of himself?
