The year 1990 saw the release of both Twilight and Twin Peaks, detective films set on the periphery which do not share the same level of recognition. In this episode, Dominic and Steven celebrate the former, Hungarian hidden gem and consider aspects of auteurism and audiovisual style at the end of the Cold War. Our reference copy was a Blu-Ray released by Second Run, following the film's restoration.

Episode 20 - Right Now, Wrong Then
In episode 20 of discursion, Dominic and Steven take a second look at the twisty Right Now, Wrong Then (Hong Sangsoo, 2015) in its Grasshopper Blu-Ray edition, a film that provides two different versions of one filmmaker's travels to a festival where he will meet and become enamoured of a young painter (twice over, with different interactions and outcomes that we are invited to observe). As Dennis Lim writes in his recent book on the South Korean director, it is also possible to find in this film that 'repetition is both the realm of the banal and the otherworldly'.

Episode 19 - Brothers and Sisters of the Toda Family
In episode 19, Dominic and Steven turn back the clock to 1941 with an almost forgotten Japanese film directed by Yasujiro Ozu, recently resorted and released for home viewing by the British Film Institute. The director's stylistic trademarks are prominent enough to rediscover and discuss in this story of family negotiating their paternal inheritance and wartime.
