  • Last Christmas

    Last Christmas 2019

    ★★★ Watched 12 Dec 2024 1

    In a way, the subject of this week's episode of Pop Screen is as experimental a work as anything Stan Brakhage ever did: what would happen if, under laboratory conditions, you took the exact concept of one of those Netflix/Hallmark cheesy movies, contrived twists and all, and handed it to people who knew what they were doing?
