Each episode of The Next Reel Film Podcast is a part of a series or collection of films brought together by time, idea, or contributor. Looking to build a great watchlist? You can’t go wrong with starting on a Next Reel Series.
We’re looking at the second film in our Ten Year Anniversary series – Juliana Rojas’ and Marco Dutra’s 2011 film ‘Hard Labor,’ or ‘Trabalhar Cansa.’ It’s a look at the struggles of the working world in Brazil’s struggling economy, but what do we think of the horror metaphors in the film? Is it enough or does it leave the film feeling muddled? Tune in to see what we thought!
We’re continuing our 10th anniversary celebration series with Miranda July’s 2011 film ‘The Future’. It’s quirky and charming and has a lot to say about life and how we live it. But it doesn’t seem to land with everyone. How does it work for us? Tune in to find out!
We’re kicking off the celebration for our own 10th anniversary later this year with a series about films also celebrating their 10th anniversaries! In this episode, we start our Tenth Anniversary series with Delphine and Muriel Coulin’s 2011 film ‘17 Filles’, aka ‘17 Girls’. It’s about 17 teenage girls all deciding to get pregnant together. In a way, it’s a frightening continuation of our last ‘Horror Debuts’ series.
