Part 7: Sat, July 28 at Noon
1990-1998: The Last Days of Celluloid Before the Coming of Digital. Film in the 1990s enters a surprise golden age. In Iran we meet Abbas Kiarostami, who rethought movie making and made it more real. Then, in Tokyo, we meet Shinji Tsukamoto, who laid the ground for the bold new Japanese horror cinema. In Paris one of the world’s greatest directors, Claire Denis, talks exclusively about her work. The story ends in Mexico.
1990s: The First Days of Digital – Reality Losing its Realness in America and Australia. Brilliant, flashy, playful movies in the English speaking world in the 90s. We look at what was new in Tarantino’s dialogue and the edginess of the Coen brothers. The writer of STARSHIP TROOPERS and ROBOCOP talks exclusively about the films’ irony. In Australia, Baz Luhrmann talks about ROMEO + JULIET and MOULIN ROUGE, and we plunge into the digital world to see how it has changed the movies forever.
Running Time: 2 hours
