Conversations on Cinema: TÀR & Babylon
Welcome Back to another episode of Downtime with Hajer ! Today I will be discussing the critically acclaimed Oscar nominated film Tàr (dir. Todd Field) as well as the not so critically acclaimed Babylon (dir. Damien Chazelle). I loved both of these movies so much and they gave me a lot to discuss but mostly a lot of questions to ask. In this episode I delve into questions of identity, power and abuse as well as the truth of Hollywood and the power of great art. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed making it. Please leave a review :)

Really enjoy Hajer’s philosophical extractions from films and shows + the eloquence with which she puts them across
Downtime with Hajer
Loved this podcast. Was never really into podcasts but this one was a nice change.
Downtime with Hajar
I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. It’s incredibly informative and explorative, not a single boring or irrelevant moment. It is clear the host and the guests that are brought on to the podcast are well versed in the interesting topics they discuss, with plenty of background knowledge. I have definitely left knowing things I had not previously known. I would recommend this podcast to everyone and anyone.
