MINHUNTER IS A 24-PART PROFILE OF MICHAEL MANN'S 1986 MYTH-MAKING, GENRE-DEFINING MASTERPIECE MANHUNTER. DO YOU SEE?
SCENE SEVEN Pt. 2 WITH MANOHLA DARGIS
“How do you make the monster clearly monstrous without seeing what he does?” One of the greatest living film critics and one of my favourite people, Manohla Dargis, is on MINHUNTER. Get out your case file and get ready to take notes.
SCENE SEVEN Pt. 1 WITH MEGAN ABBOTT
“The better book, the better movie and the better Lector”, said the great award-winning author Megan Abbott, who had to be a part of MINHUNTER.
SCENE SIX WITH ANDREW NETTE
“I had forgotten what a visual apocalypse [Manhunter] is...” author Andrew Nette and I will remind you on this episode of MINHUNTER.
SCENE FIVE WITH Brandon Streussnig
“Mann often feels like he’s transmitting images from other realities, especially when he went digital, but this one always felt like he pulled this movie directly from hell” perfectly encapsulates why Brandon Streussnig needed to be a part of MINHUNTER.
SCENE FOUR WITH DAN MECCA AND CONOR O’DONNELL
“This is sicko mode the movie” is something utterly surprising and absolutely on brand with Dan Mecca and Conor O’Donnell.
SCENE THREE Pt.2 WITH LINDSEY ROMAIN
When you want a guest to pull Thomas Harris quotes like - "the very air had screams smeared on it” - you get Lindsey Romain
SCENE THREE Pt.1 WITH S.A COSBY
"You may think he's ascending, but he's descending to hell, and hell is written on the walls of the Leeds' bedroom." For bars like that and more, listen to the legendary Award-winning and best-selling author S.A Cosby keep the other bad men from the door.
SCENE TWO WITH BILGE EBIRI
I would expect nothing less than ultimatums like, “if you don’t like this shot, you’re an asshole,” from the best in the business, Bilge Ebiri.
SCENE ONE WITH STU COOTE
An ominous entry, seeing in video and antagonistic claims that Brett Ratner’s RED DRAGON is the better adaptation, I would expect nothing less from Stu Coote.
