TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE EPISODE 39: Polish Folk Horror ft. Matt Kowalski
Manage episode 353930053 series 2975100
We’re diving into some of the Twitch crew’s favorite subjects with the latest Twitch of the Death Nerve episode: political resistance, folk horror, and Polish cinema. Historian and pal Matt Kowalski joined Charles and Samm for a lengthy discussion of Andrzej Żuławski’s The Devil (1972) and Marek Piestrak’s She-Wolf (1983). Both films are set during key historical periods in Polish history and make use of horror genre and especially folk horror tropes. We give a little historical primer and unpack how both directors use these themes to critique parallel events in communist Poland in the ’70s and ’80s. Also discussed: Marxism, Polish literary Romanticism, and the most beautiful mustache in the world.
