I had the pleasure of hanging with AFTRS (BA) Screen Studies Discipline Lead, Duncan McLean. Once we eventually cut the off-tape chat about our favourite films (that’s a whole other episode!), we hit record and discussed: what goes into a great film review?
Once you listen to Duncan, a movie can never be good or bad – to understand how a story resonates on screen the viewer needs to sharpen their cinematic eye by examining the ingredients that make up a great film experience. While some film scholars will turn their nose up at Hollywood, you won’t catch that from Duncan. He is an unashamed movie buff. And his passion for film is contagious.
Whether you are a film student or just deciding what to watch this weekend, listen to the full interview on AFTRS FM on Monday 1 September.
