#45: Sammy is Going to Lisbon

Gerry Hartman and Sammy Ray Episode 45

The title says it all - Sammy is going on a trip to Lisbon, so he and Gerry decided to discuss some films about Portugal: Raul Ruiz's sprawling epic, Mysteries of Lisbon (2010), and Rita Azevedo Gomes' stunningly beautiful The Portuguese Woman (2018). They discuss the distinctly different stylistic approaches of these two filmmakers, how these films break traditional narrative forms, and the ways in which the filmmakers merge other art forms into their cinema. Contains spoilers for both films.
