The Empathy Machine

Roger Ebert once described film as "the most powerful empathy machine of all the arts," and we aim to explore film through that prism. Each week, we'll be deconstructing films from as many angles as possible - from the production history, to the cultural environment in which they were conceived and later released, to the thematic and narrative threads that each film explores - we'll leave no stone unturned. Our tastes are varied, and we're generally receptive to just about any film that comes our way, so we're also open to suggestions and recommendations for episodes as well. Join us on this adventure!
