In this episode of the show, our conversations about John Dahl noir-adjacent thrillers continues with The Last Seduction. Over the course of the recording you will hear us talk about the way in which this movie traverses between tropes of noir and the more 90s-specific erotic thriller, how Linda Fiorentino embodies and elevates the archetypal femme fatale and a project destined originally for TV ended up one of the year's critical darlings. We also discuss how the deleted scenes would have added some spice to the movie, how eventually the film does fall victim to the complexity of its plot and the many tiny moments of character comedy hidden within the script.
Tune in and enjoy!
