Criterion Reflections – Episode 21 – Yoshitaro Nomura’s The Shadow Within

David and William provide a spoiler-free intro to a great Japanese director before moving into their conversation about this intriguing contemporary Japanese melodrama/thriller/character study.

Criterion Reflections is David Blakeslee’s ongoing project to watch all of the films included in the Criterion Collection in chronological order of their original release. Each episode of this second season of the podcast features conversations with a variety of guests offering insights on movies that originally premiered in 1970 and were destined to eventually bear the Criterion imprint. In this episode, David is joined by William Remmers to discuss The Shadow Within, directed by Yoshitaro Nomura, currently available on the Criterion Channel on FilmStruck.
