We continue our marathon discussion of Michael Mann’s MANHUNTER. We talk the danger of the distorted lens, the self and shadow self, how Mann’s obsession with the smallest details enriches the bigger picture, Willam Friedkin’s near casting as Hannibal, Mann's impeccable song & score selections, digital vs. film, Mann's Chicago origins & extensive work in television & The Keep.

We also address (nearly all) of your Listener Comments & Questions. Our apologies to those we didn’t get to, send us further comments and corrections for a supplemental addendum which will feature the missing contributions. Organizational difficulties thwarted our best intentions.

Michael Mann's 1986 classic MANHUNTER gets the full Movie Club treatment. So full, it had to be split into 2 parts.

Gala Avary & Rich Johnson join me for a an in-depth investigation of the first film adaptation of a Hannibal Lector fable (Lecktor in this film), Michael Mann's masterful color-coding, Alex Cox's dismissive and rather confused summary of the film, Miami Vice, William Petersen, Dennis Farina, Tom Noonan's terrifying Francis Dolarhyde, the birth of forensics in crime stories and so much more. Plus: movies, cinema AND film.

Stay tuned for Part Two
