		<title>The Duality of Alexander Mackendrick</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Alexander Mackendrick is one of the most distinguished (if frequently overlooked) directors ever to emerge from the British film industry. He was one of the finest and least typical directors at Ealing Studios. Perhaps best known for the four comedies, Whiskey Galore! (1949) and The Ladykillers (1955), satire, with The Man in the White Suit (1951), romance, with Saraband for Dead Lovers (1948). He made there, he nonetheless created films of a rare blackness, marked by a pessimistic &#8211; albeit witty &#8211; vision of human cruelty, corruptibility, and self-obsession.

		<title>Dark Images of Julien Duvivier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Revered by such legendary fellow directors as Ingmar Bergman and Jean Renoir, Julien Duvivier is one of the greatest figures in the history of French cinema and of world cinema in general. He is perhaps the most neglected of the &#8220;Big Five&#8221; of classic French cinema (the other four being Jean Renoir, Rene Clair, Jacques Feyder, and Marcel Carne), partly due to the uneven quality of his work. But despite his misfires, the cream of his oeuvre is simply stellar and deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as ...]]></description>

		<title>Vincente Minnelli: a Story of Taste and Style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Vincente Minnelli is remembered as one of American cinema&#8217;s most distinctive and creative visual stylists. His lavish use of color and, in the 1950s, widescreen, was praised by French critics who deemed him a master of &#8220;mise-en-scène.&#8221; A generation of younger American filmmakers, including Martin Scorsese (whose 1977 New York, New York starring Vincente and Judy Garland&#8217;s daughter Liza Minnelli, contains many touches in homage to Minnelli) has cited him as an influence. His best-known screen work was done in the musical genre, where he also worked as a stage ...]]></description>

		<title>The Enigmatic Cinema of Krzysztof Kieslowski</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Krzysztof Kieslowski&#8217;s Three Colours trilogy is a monumental work that blends cinema, philosophy and music in a seamless whole. Kieslowski started his career shooting documentaries and later became associated with the cinema of moral anxiety, which grouped several Polish directors, including &#8216;Andrzej Wajda&#8217;, and aimed to depict the conditions of Poles under communism. His best known work was the three colors series Red, White,  and Blue. Red brought him an Academy Award nomination for best director in 1995, Blue shared the Golden Lion at Venice in 1993, and White ...]]></description>

		<title>Otto the terrible</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Otto Ludwig Preminger was an Austro–Hungarian-born American film director who moved from the theatre to Hollywood, directing over 35 feature films in a five-decade career. He rose to prominence for stylish film noir mysteries such as Laura and Fallen Angel. In the 1950s and 1960s, he directed a number of high-profile adaptations of popular novels and stage works. Several of these pushed the boundaries of censorship by dealing with topics which were then taboo in Hollywood, such as drug addiction (The Man with the Golden Arm, 1955), rape (Anatomy of ...]]></description>

		<title>The Groundbreaking Director Nicolas Roeg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Nicolas Roeg is a British film director known for breaking the conventions of editing and his ability to use atmosphere well, Roeg stretched the boundaries of what could be done with film.
He is famed for stringing together disjointed stories in which everything was semi-coherent until the very end, where a crucial piece of information was given to help make sense of the story. He has a foreboding sense of atmosphere that is still influencing the directors of today, and his original approach to editing resulted in some of the ...]]></description>

		<title>A Series of Unfortunate Events</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The podcast you are about to see is extremely unpleasant.
If you wish to see a podcast about a happy little elf, I&#8217;m sure there is still plenty of seating in theatre number two.
However, if you like stories about clever and reasonably attractive orphans, suspicious fires, carnivorous leeches, Italian food and secret organizations, then stay, as I retrace each and every one of the Baudelaire children&#8217;s woeful steps.
My name is Rachel Yap, and it is my sad duty to document this podcast.
