Pierced to the Heart

On , a film discussion may have up to three parts:

• “Before viewing” talks briefly introduce a film. They don’t have spoilers, but if there’s not an After viewing talk, comments may have spoilers.
• “After viewing” talks assume you have seen the film. Go here for analysis and reflections about a film, as well as talk about its excellent filmcraft.
• “Backstory” talks bring out things behind a film that add to its impact.
