Episode 60 - Slack Bay - a podcast by One Week Only - Podcast

Episode 60 of One Week Only! This week, we are joined by special guest Charlie Nash, freelance film journalist and member of the Boston Online Film Critics Association! Our key film this week is the absurdist French farce "Slack Bay" about a ridiculously weird wealthy family in 1910's France on holiday at their seaside estate, and the mysterious "disappearances" going on in the neighborhood. Featuring a wonderful cast (including Juliette Binoche) playing a variety of strange characters, it's an absurd comedy about class and society told with expertly dark humor and visual splendor by director Bruno Dumont. It opened last week in New York, opened the COLCOA French Film Festival this week, and is now playing in Los Angeles.(44:00)

We also review the horror film "A Dark Song" about an occult ceremony, directed by Liam Gavin (4:00); the period biopic "Nise: The Heart of Madness" about a courageous Brazilian doctor, directed by Roberto Berliner (10:35); the journalism documentary "Obit" about The New York Times obituary department, directed by Vanessa Gould (17:05); the Israeli dramedy "One Week and a Day" about a couple dealing with grief, directed by Asaph Polonsky (29:50); and the Canadian Jewish drama "Natasha" about Russian immigrants, directed by David Bezmozgis (36:50).
