Oscar-winning director Damien Chazelle’s new movie, the period epic Babylon—starring Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, and newcomer Diego Calva—isn't for everyone. And we have contrasting views about it, as well.
We discuss Chazelle’s bravura filmmaking, and dissect his inner conflict about his chosen profession. We also wonder if the film’s disjointed, episodic structure does a disservice to it.
Along the way, we talk about the state of the industry, and why it has become difficult for films like this to attract audiences to the cinema.
