Breathe deep! David and Derek and Brad come to grips with this freewheeling, brazenly confrontational and life-affirming exploration of our driving forces and the repressive mechanisms that bottle us up.
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 third season of the podcast features conversations with a variety of guests offering insights on movies that originally premiered in 1971 and were destined to eventually bear the Criterion imprint. In this episode, David is joined by Brad McDermott and Derek J. Power to discuss WR: Mysteries of the Organism, directed by Dušan Makavejev.
