Jacobin Radio - Un pódcast de Jacobin
Categorías:
A podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world. Hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage. After he named names for Joseph McCarthy, Elia Kazan made a movie about an informer. We watched ON THE WATERFRONT (1954), one of the great American films by the most famous American rat, and discuss its personal meaning for Kazan, and the historical context behind its powerful depiction of working-class New York. PLUS: a free-flowing discussion of celebrity and politics. "Revisiting On the Waterfront" by Kathy M.
