One F*cking Hour

Episode 165: Evan, Rémy & Marcus go one f'n hour on Sergei Parajanov's Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1965), the groundbreaking Ukrainian masterpiece that transformed a tragic love story into a hallucinatory fever dream of folklore, ritual, memory, and myth. We explore the film's astonishing visual style, its defiance of Soviet Socialist Realism, and why it remains one of the most singular achievements in world cinema.

Episode 159: PICKPOCKET is a quietly radical masterpiece that redefined cinematic storytelling through its stripped-down performances, obsessive focus on gesture, and a hypnotic, almost spiritual portrayal of crime and isolation. In this episode of One Fucking Hour, we dive deep into Robert Bresson’s singular, meticulous style, unpacking his strange use of non-actors, fragmented editing, and psychosexual undercurrents to reveal how every frame is engineered with unnerving precision.

Episode 158: For their 1958 movie pick, Evan, Rémy & Marcus go one f’n hour on Hitchcock’s Vertigo—one of cinema’s most unsettling portraits of obsession, desire, and control. They dive into its deeply personal, psychosexual undercurrents: identity as performance, love as projection, and the disturbing dynamics at its core. It’s Hitchcock at his most honest, surreal, and revealing.
