Midnight Video

An archive of two chaps, a laptop and a mic attempting to unearth the lost, forgotten and overlooked in cinema.

Midnight Video 34: The Shout, Woyzeck and Powder

midnightsquare copy.jpg

Show 34 sees us return to the old format after our birthday shenanigans, which we sincerely hope you lovely listeners enjoyed.
Jerzy Skolimowski's The Shout features Alan Bates, John Hurt and Susannah Yorke in a singularly surreal take on the home invasion genre, taking in aboriginal folklore, cricket and experimental music.
The listener's Herzog vote saw Woyzeck triumph.  Just what did we make of Kinski's pea diet and shaving skills?
Rounding things off is 1995's Powder featuring the talents of Seth Brundel and Young Indiana Jones directed by Victor Salva, yeh, that guy.
