FREE PALESTINE
Hey, Devon here. For the past few months I've been talking to a family trapped in Gaza, working to hit their gofundme for passage out of Rafah whenever the crossing reopens. Their names are Ahmed and Layla, and their 4 kids Jana, Malik, Lana and Amir. While the crossing might be closed, the situation is changing by the day and being able to afford passage out when a crossing reopens is an immense comfort.

Would love to see you guys cover La Chinoise. My new college’s leftist club mentioned doing a movie night for it in the past and I kind of panicked… like what the hell is this movie, and are they going to call me a revisionist for disliking it?? Then I realized they’re just broke and can only afford to watch movies in the Criterion Collection 🙃

It baffles me that Godard claimed to be a Maoist while consistently being very racist against Chinese people. Like, what are you doing, man?

Quite late here but OSS 117: Alerte Rouge en Afrique Noire could potentially set an untouchable high score
Nick Gully
I would love to hear the pod watch a Soviet spy film to provide a view from the other side of the curtain.

Perhaps that’s too identifying

My great uncle won a silver star on Guadalcanal (army), and the Guadal part rhymes with waddle

Or The Bad Sleep Well

Suggestion: Tinker Tailor BBC miniseries, it’s on YouTube. Been waiting for it forever, and I know you know it exists

pls let ous have harry palmer before your finished with eurospy
Jacob King
If we are recommending eurospy adjacent French art movies then the Georges Franju remake of Judex is my pick. A pure dessert movie.
Aalto Bowers
Highly recommend Charade and/or The Ipcress File.
HappyDragon

Shmishmortion
