Retro Reels

Hanna Bilinski,Rti

Retro Reels takes a look back at film over the decades — especially what it says about the world back then, and how things have changed since. Join Hanna for a critical look at old movies that recalls the historical events, filmmaking trends, and shifting perspectives that informed their creation. 

  1. −4 D

    Sansho the Bailiff (1954)

    It's been an up and down kind of ride with Mizoguchi, but by the end, Hanna is reminded of why she watches all these old movies in the first place.

  2. 11 FEB.

    Ugetsu (1953)

    Maybe Hanna can squash her beef with Mizoguchi yet.

  3. 4 FEB.

    The Life of Oharu (1952)

    The first time in a long time that Hanna is taken aback by how much she disliked a movie.

  4. 28 JAN.

    Osaka Elegy (1936) & The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums (1939)

    It's real sad girl hours for this week's double feature and introductory episode on the legendary Japanese director Kenji Mizoguchi.

  5. 21 JAN.

    One Week in the West: Scanners (1981)

    A mind-blowing pick for this month's installment of One Week in the West.

  6. 14 JAN.

    Madame Butterfly (1995) & M. Butterfly (1993)

    Where did the social and sexual stereotypes about Asian women played out in movies like Sayonara and The World of Suzie Wong come from, anyway? All roads lead back to Madame Butterfly.

  7. 7 JAN.

    Sayonara (1957)

    Hanna continues to torture herself with shoddy movies featuring Asian stereotypes. Don't worry, there's a point to all of this suffering.

  8. 2025-12-31

    The World of Suzie Wong (1960)

    Ending the year with much less than a bang, Hanna watches a movie so racist and so sexist that she might have hated it even more than she hated Memoirs of a Geisha for similar reasons.
