33. Hollywood Babylon (featuring Sébastien Simon)

Damien Chazelle's Babylon has been called a love letter to movies and a suicide note to Hollywood. For this wide-ranging discussion, I'm joined by filmmaker and programmer Sébastien Simon to discuss the film, the evolution of Chazelle's filmmaking, the wild history of the silent film days, Kenneth Anger, Hollywood's working class roots, the rise of institutionalized filmmaking with the emergence of sound, and much, more more.
