LARB’s resident film critic Anna Shechtman joins fellow cinephiles Medaya Ocher & Kate Wolf to talk about their favorite foreign films of 2016; focusing on Pedro Almodóvar’s change of pace, Julieta; Paul Verhoeven’s Elle, starring fiercely sublime Isabelle Huppert; and The Handmaiden, a genre-bending and visually stunning tale of Victorian Korea by Park Chan-Wook. Also, Tom Lutz recommends T. C. Boyle’s The Terranauts (with its surprising Trump Administration tie-in); and praises D. H. Lawrence’s “Terra Incognita.”
