    Book review: Michael Curtiz: A Life in Film

    I love books about films so I thought it would be nice to share a recent recommendation. Michael Curtiz: A Life in Film is more than just a biography; it's a journey through the history of Hollywood in the Golden Age and an absolute must read. Buy here Subscribe to The 24 Frames Cast here

  3. Loveless

    Loveless

    Loveless is Andrey Zvyagintsev’s chilling portrait of a family — and a society — defined by emotional absence. Framed around the disappearance of a child, the film refuses the comforts of mystery or redemption, instead observing how indifference, distraction, and self-interest quietly shape everyday life. Through its restrained style and unflinching gaze, Loveless becomes less a story about loss than a study of what happens when care itself erodes — in private relationships and in the world beyond them.

  6. Night Mail

    Night Mail

    This episode explores Night Mail (1936) as both a defining work of British documentary cinema and a carefully constructed piece of modernist art. Through close discussion, the podcast examines how the film presents work not as glamorous or heroic, but as essential, collective labour that underpins modern life. It considers the historical context of the GPO Film Unit and John Grierson’s vision of documentary as a civic tool, alongside the film’s innovative production methods and stylistic choices. The episode pays particular attention to Night Mail’s formal design: its rhythmic editing, overtly composed soundscape, and the way image, music, and narration are tightly integrated. Central to this discussion is W. H. Auden’s poem, analysed as the film’s aesthetic and thematic climax, where industrial process, human connection, and national identity converge. By treating Night Mail as both a social document and a work of art, the podcast asks why the film still matters today—what it reveals about attitudes to labour, infrastructure, and collective responsibility, and what it continues to teach us about the expressive possibilities of documentary filmmaking.

  7. The Ipcress File

    1월 11일

    The Ipcress File

    Britain in the 1960s liked to imagine itself as a global saviour. James Bond told us we still ran the world. But The Ipcress File told a very different story. In this episode of Celluloid Underground, we take a deep dive into one of the most quietly radical spy films ever made — a Cold War thriller that strips espionage of glamour and replaces it with paranoia, paperwork, and psychological warfare. We explore how a fading post-imperial Britain is reflected in cramped offices, petty bureaucratic rivalries, and a hero who shops for groceries instead of saving the world. We examine Sidney J. Furie’s disorienting visual style, John Barry’s unsettling score, and how the film creates an atmosphere where no one — not even your superiors — can be trusted. This is not a story about power. It’s a story about uncertainty. About loyalty under pressure. And about what happens when the Cold War moves inside the human mind. If you think spy films are about gadgets and glamour, The Ipcress File will change your mind.
