Cultural Capital

For our final episode before MIFF we review Guy Maddin's Vertigo homage, The Green Fog, and share our impressions of MIFF films we've already seen (including Acute Misfortune, First Reformed, Shoplifters, Burning and Capharnaüm), and those we're most excited to see. Andy includes an interview he did with Genevieve Bailey, the director of MIFF sell-out documentary Happy Sad Man, and opens the Cultural Capital Film Diary. Finally, we look back at the best films of 2018 so far. 00:55 - The Green Fog 12:29 - MIFF 2018 reviews and previews 28:02 - Cultural Capital Film Diary 30:11 - Happy Sad Man's Genevieve Bailey interview 51:51 - The Best of 2018 so far That piano music played before our favourite films from 2018 is from Phantom Thread.
