CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 12/14/23 

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  

Based on historical fact and using real names, THE ZONE OF INTEREST is a Holocaust movie like no other. Instead of Auschwitz scenes, it focuses on the lives of a Nazi commandant and his family who live in a house next to the camp and their mundane day-to-day activities, with the real horrors conveyed by the faint sounds that escape over the wall. We sit down with lead ensemble actor Christian Friedel. 

Both a comedic thriller and a satirical indictment of the contemporary art market, THE KILL ROOM finds a struggling art gallery owner teaming with a hit man/money-launderer whose kills become mistaken for avante-garde art. Joining us to further the commentary is director Nicol Paone (FRIENDSGIVING). 

Then, "Screen Scene" movie reviews including LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND,THE MISSION,MR. MONK'S LAST CASE: A MONK MOVIE,MERRY LITTLE BATMAN,WONKA,THE ZONE OF INTEREST, MONSTER, CHICKEN RUN: DAWN OF THE NUGGET, MAESTRO,THE UNKNOWN COUNTRY.
