Volker Schlöndorff Special: The Ogre vs. The Handmaid's Tale

Welcome to Highbrow Lowbrow. The show where our podcast hosts Steve Powell and Dan Slattery pit high art against low culture.

In this episode dedicated to the films of German director Volker Schlöndorff, Steve discusses The Ogre, a World War Two drama which was never theatrically released in the US or UK but features one of John Malkovich's finest performances.

Dan's choice is The Handmaid's Tale. This big-screen adaptation of Margaret Atwood's classic novel has been somewhat overshadowed by the television version, but Dan argues that it shouldn't be ignored.

Will we convert you into Schlondorff aficionados, dear listener? Let's find out. Beware spoilers. Enjoy the show...
