Screen Shrapnel // 1100-1200 12.03.11
the discrete charms of a bourgeois radio show
On today’s Screen Shrapnel we discuss the latest cinematic appropriation of a Philip K. Dick novella. How appropriate, then, that the structure of the show follows the Philip K. Dick formula: namely, things appears mind numbingly normal until some all knowing force reveals to us that the whole show has in-fact been a sham(bles). That omnipotent force is our regular (and perhaps only) listener, Matt Lloyd. Cheers for the blue pill / facebook post. The good thing is we can now blame our poor broadcasting skills on the mysterious men in fedoras who pull life’s strings in the Adjustment Bureau.
Also shambling through their lives, teetering on the edge of despair, is the well heeled family at the heart of Joanna Hogg’s second feature, Archipelago. Helen found sympathy in this disintegrating clan of toffs; Jamie loved watching them suffer.
