Criterion Reflections – Episode 130 – Martin Ritt’s Sounder

Criterion Reflections is David Blakeslee’s ongoing project to watch all of the films included in the Criterion Collection in chronological order of their original release. Each episode of this fourth season of the podcast features conversations with a variety of guests offering insights on movies that originally premiered in 1972 and were destined to eventually bear the Criterion imprint. In this episode, David is joined by David Seeley to discuss Sounder, directed by Martin Ritt.
