Episode 48. Cinema Du Look

Zeke Perez makes his long overdue return to help me close out the year by discussing a pair of stylish French films from the 80s.

First up is Jean-Jacques Beineix twisty Diva (1981), followed by Leos Carax's sophomore film Mauvais Sang (1986). Both films were part of a filmmaking wave that would come to be known as Cinema du Look, films that favored style over substance. But as you'll see, these movies provide plenty of substance to talk about.
