WE CUT HEADS: DA SWEET BLOOD OF JESUS


https://wecutheadspod.podbean.com/e/da-sweet-blood-of-jesus-episode-11-2014/


Spike Lee's Da Sweet Blood Of Jesus never got a fair chance in my opinion (one early bad review kind of sealed its fate). I personally enjoyed this movie so I always feel the urge to defend it any chance I get. Thankfully Spencer of at the We Cut Heads podcast was kind enough to have me back on to chat about this underrated gem.

THE SCHOOL OF MAYA DEREN PART NINE: DAVID LYNCH CONTINUED...

Meshes Of The Afternoon / Mulholland Drive


I know I said I drained the well with the Maya Deren/ David Lynch comparisons but I think I opened up a new realm after watching a bunch of Deren's films recently...

Make sure to check out parts; one, two & three of my exploration between Deren & Lynch for the more obvious/well-known comparisons.

Enjoy...


The interiors in their respective films are damn near identical from the movement of the camera to the actual furniture in the rooms...

Deren & Lynch's continued exploration of duality, dual identity & parallel universes...

Jeffery's voyeurism in Blue Velvet (right) kind of mimics Deren's voyeurism in Meshes Of The Afternoon (Left)

Lynch's various themes, "tricks" & editing techniques also seem to borrow from Deren's earlier work...

The Elephant Man

Mysterious villains are murdered in similar fashions in both movies...
