Jasper Sharp is probably the UK's leading expert on Japanese film and he joined me on the show today with Scott Sumner. Scott has a famous economics blog that has a side line in movie reviews. The pair of them were on really good form discussing a list of six movies that Jasper came up with. I think that even people unfamiliar with Japanese film should have fun!
The films we discussed were:
Equinox Flower
The Ballad of Narayama
Hanagatami
Branded to Kill
Ghost in the Shell 2
Giants and Toys
The Fate of Rome with Kyle Harper
David Abulafia and the Boundless Sea
Tyler Cowen rates A Separation
Alex Tabarrok versus the People (Parasite and Burning reviewed)
Agnes and Abe Callard are philosophical about films
Philip Matyszak - author of the ancient world
David Friedman - Legal Systems Very Different From Ours
Agnes Callard, Adjective
