This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt discuss the latest by the French husband and wife directing team, Hélène Cattet’s & Bruno Forzani’s ‘Reflection In A Dead Diamond’. Known for the striking visual storytelling style, this time they tackle the euro-spy thrillers. Is it a wonderfully mad mash-up of visuals and narrative? Or unintelligible mess? Plus, Chris shares his thoughts on the proposed Netflix/Warner Bros. merger. And there’s news about a certain impossible to find 4k steelbook. All this, and more!
