Drawing on close viewing, critical theory, and some unexpected help from a cat-spotting blog, the series argues that the film's most searching questions are not answered by its famous dialogue but by what lives in the background, at the edges, and below the threshold of language. This is a podcast for anyone who has ever watched a film about history and wondered what it means that we cannot stop returning to the places that destroyed us.
