On today's show, we have our first Flixwise Favorites entry of 2016! Flixwise Co-Producer, Martin Kessler, is on hand to tell Lady P and Emma Guerard why August Blom's 1916 Danish disaster movie, THE END OF THE WORLD, is one of the greatest films of all time. Blom's work is not as widely seen as the early silent films of the infamous American film pioneer D.W. Griffith. However, Martin thinks that Blom is equally, if not more worthy, than Griffith of critical acclaim. Along the way, they discuss comparisons between Blom and Lars von Trier, and they delve into the cinematic history of the disaster flick. Listen up to hear if Lady P and Emma agree that THE END OF THE WORLD is groundbreaking enough to merit a spot on the Favorites List.
