Ep. 454: In the Cut (2003)

Hello everybody! We're back this week with a dark and dingy look at the interior lives of a hapless English teacher and a troubled detective in Jane Campion's erotic crime thriller In the Cut. One of only 21 movies to receive an F CinemaScore, we thought we'd take a look in light of Campion's recent Oscar win. This week, we're talking about Campion's use of intertextuality and mise-en-scene, the interior lives of people, cops, and much more!
