S1E07 - Meyer From Berlin [1919] with Fran Hoepfner

Writer and critic Fran Hoepfner joins us to discuss MEYER FROM BERLIN, Ernst Lubitsch’s only certified Adam Sandler-style vacation comedy. This lightweight comedy of class is a jumping-off point for discussions about silent film form, comedic modes and traditions, the nature of hotels, and our ability to enjoy flawed works from a century ago.

Bram Ruiter joins us to discuss THE OYSTER PRINCESS. For details on where to find this film, check out our resources page.
