410 - Under The Volcano (1984)

Random Acts of Cinema

Special guest Max Rieger joins us this week as we dive into the volatile and fascinating world of 1938 Mexico in order to follow the last day in the life of… an alcoholic English misanthrope played by hunky 1980s dreamboat Albert Finney. Director John Huston’s adaptation of Malcolm Lowry’s so-called “unfilmable,” semi-autobiographical novel is a raging, Joycian, stagger through a world on the precipice of war.

If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing A Raisin in the Sun (1961).
