FLiXWiSE CANADA, EPiSODE 15: Neil Jordan's Seaside Trilogy.

"He liked her, but he was the type who couldn't see what was in front of his face."

The Pink Smoke’s John Cribbs and Christopher Funderburg recently appeared on the Flixwise: Canada podcast with host Martin Kessler to discuss a trilogy of early Neil Jordan films: Mona Lisa, The Miracle and The Crying Game.

The group discusses what links these films, why The Miracle hasn't gotten its due and how Neil Jordan's career evolved over time, especially after the massive and unlikely sucess of his "IRA thriller." The conversation touches on everything from Bob Hoskins' brilliance to Jordan's fondness for warped varaitions on pop standards to how the filmmaker handles deeply political topics with a nearly apolitical even-handedness.
