film critic about it and a south korean movie also in a competition no not that south korean movie that won so many oscars but this very different minimalistic movie the woman who ran from veteran director saw his scene so i don't think you don't want to. know that result and nobody. to get that will say oh well what. they did i thought you know has actually is the only thing. i can do without hope i said music us to that it's editing that are critical not. so much in the local groups in the. crew. hugh or or you were all. so you should know this. and joining me now is scott rock's throw down at the heart of the scots. this clip we've just seen post really doesn't do the film justice as it's very slow moving so
10:46 pm
how does it compare to the south korean movie parasite just cleaned up and also oscars. yeah iraq yes this is a very very different type of south korean film i mean. the director of parasite takes this inspiration largely from american cinema from hollywood cinema hang sang soo take his inspiration largely from french cinema particular the french new wave i mean some people call bonge the korean steven spielberg if that's the case then hong is the korean at least for you film geeks this film the woman who ran is it is as you say a minimalistic film it's a story about a woman visiting friends she's the 1st trip she's had away for a husband and many years she says and she's visiting some friends that she's been to that a strange from and they have very sort of ordinary seemingly banal conversations and only as the film progress is suddenly you notice that everything is not right
10:47 pm
with her and that she's maybe looking to change her life and maybe looking to escape to a new life it's a very subtle film it is very slow moving but really builds and builds and by the end this is really quite powerful and i think it's don't think it's going to clean up the oscars next year but i think it does show the real breadth of south korean cinema briefly the all the movie never read the sometimes always about a young woman crossing state lines to get an abortion what do you make of. yes i mean that's the plot of the movie but it's really not a political polemic is that description would do would would seem to assess it's really a story about. being young and poor and a woman in america today i think was a quietly devastate. film and really lifted up by 2 amazing central performances by 2 amateur actresses who make their debut here and i think when you have a chance of winning an award come the end of the festival ok scott stay with us
10:48 pm
we're going to have a look at some series series being primaried here in europe this isn't a totally new phenomenon of course indeed the festival is well ahead of the game having had a section on series for over 10 years now has some of the highlights this year he's been on holds. media is the stronger. with statements like that it's no wonder that sigmund freud has few friends in vienna and $886.00 and $1.00 of versity colleagues think he's a quack. or less under. on our show he's someone who's obsessed with the idea of the subconscious and then he's confronted with very dark secrets that take place in vienna. and getting to the bottom of them also means homing in on his own concepts.
10:49 pm
in this series sigmund freud comes off as history's 1st criminal profiler but the story doesn't stop at solving a crime it unveils a conspiracy reaching into the highest circles of society vienna as a city of sin and depravity. on the one hand vienna is very friendly with the waltz and all this week deserts but on the other hand at night all the traumas come out of the regressions the repressed feelings it's also a very sinister city. a city where the rich conduct seances to make contact with the after life. support in his efforts from the mysterious for a mate who also serves as a media. consolidation in people in the political and the artistic elites did hold seances like that. and it
10:50 pm
drew people in there and entertained of it because it's of course some things their e mysterious and people really believed in all that back then. other series are also focusing on mystery jason segel perhaps best known from how i met your mother shows a very different side in dispatches from elsewhere here he plays a computer specialist trying to uncover a powerful institute secrets. and in mystery road to a pair of detectives in the australian outback are confronted with the country's colonial history well all round down the bodies keep piling up. for oil it is able to set itself apart from the pack by successfully combining genres and it turns out the father of psychoanalysis makes for a colorful lead character. he. can focus
10:51 pm
on our entire culture and of course on the horror and thriller genre so i just love the idea of bringing him back into a series and he's here to get. the series freud is one of the highlights at this year's emmy nominee. film critic is still with us. scott. the director that the freud series is in the horror all thriller genre really. well yeah it was actually that and more i mean it's also a crime procedural so it's a bit like the the c.s.i. type of series plus a bit of horror plus a bit of thriller and added to that bit of the history of psychoanalysis at the end of the 19th century i mean the big surprises here that that mix actually works it's really quite a compelling show and shows that german series i mean we have
10:52 pm
a series like this babylon berlin netflix series dark from germany that these really high end german series are now so good that they can really compete with the best in the world ok how far is this thing going to go with the series is this joy or a binge watching what's going to go be more popular than going to the movies in the future. well i actually think is that as we see here at the daily knowledge that great t.v. series and great films can exist side by side actually cross-fertilize one another we see movie stars like cate blanchett who is here with a series doing television and i think we really will have to see one of the other they're not cannibalize each other these great amazing stories are being told either long form in a series or in the short classic cinema and both exist side by side and do incredibly well scott as always thank you but people are watching more and more of everything basically science series. exactly. now
