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. 2D AGO

    Women's History Month: Cléo from 5 to 7 (1962)

    French New Wave? On MY program? It's more likely than you think!

  2. MAR 4

    Women's History Month: The Eternal Breasts (1955)

    Let's give Kinuyo Tanaka her due. You can watch The Eternal Breasts right here on YouTube.

  3. FEB 25

    One Week in the West: They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969)

    Jane Fonda's performance is unforgettable in this 1969 movie by Sydney Pollack, and somehow its message feels more relevant than ever.

  4. FEB 18

    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.

  5. FEB 11

    Ugetsu (1953)

    Maybe Hanna can squash her beef with Mizoguchi yet.

  6. FEB 4

    The Life of Oharu (1952)

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

  7. JAN 28

    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.

  8. JAN 21

    One Week in the West: Scanners (1981)

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