SVU #147: Graduation / TIFF 2017
On this episode of Filmspotting: Streaming Video Unit, Matt and Alison talk moral compromises and modern Romania in their review of Cristian Mungiu’s GRADUATION. Then, having entirely failed to find the time to watch more streaming Romanian New Wave films, as was the original plan, they instead delve into the Toronto International Film Festival. Yes, Matt and Alison both recently returned from the event that typically kicks off awards season, and each are ready to offer their top five highlights (and one lowlight) from the fest.
This episode of Filmspotting: SVU is brought to you by Hello Fresh, Spotify, and VideoBlocks.
