This week Flick Ford is joined by festival programmer Thomas Caldwell and local filmmaker / video editor Jack Ralph.
Together they review Dev Patel's directorial debut MONKEY MAN, in which Patel also wrote and starred.
Patel plays Kid - an underground fighter who unleashes a bloody campaign of vengeance against the corrupt leaders who systemically victimize the poor and powerless.
We also review Wim Wenders' meditative drama PERFECT DAYS.
Based on a script written by Wenders and Takuma Takasaki, the film stars Kōji Yakusho as a toilet cleaner who likes to capture moments of beauty in everyday life.
