All About Campion

Film critic David Rooney joins Inkoo Kang and Daniel Schroeder to discuss 2006's Volver. We talk about the brilliance of the female ensemble, Penélope Cruz's Mediterranean voluptuousness, and the healing power of truth and farts.

In this episode, Inkoo Kang and Daniel Schroeder plunge into Almodóvar's film about a woman desperate to hold onto a man who doesn't love her anymore, and the increasingly zany characters who begin to fill her apartment as everybody's crises just start piling up. And of course we talk about voicemails, gazpacho, and the most perfect set of earrings.

Critics Inkoo Kang and Daniel Schroeder discuss two of Jane Campion's least regarded works, Top of the Lake: China Girl and The Portrait of a Lady. We talk about our unexpected disappointment with China Girl, how Campion didn't seem to care about telling the stories of women of color, and Gwendoline Christie's height. We were pleasantly surprised by Portrait, which when compared to her other less-than-loved movies doesn't stand out, but contains some consistently relevant Campion themes and a bunch of film school flourishes we couldn't help but love.

Critics Inkoo Kang and Daniel Schroeder are joined by the Hollywood Reporter's Lovia Gyarkye to discuss the 1999 film Holy Smoke! We talk about how quickly we were drawn into the film's spell, the lovable ditz campion identifies with, and pee.
