Poetry Goes to the Movies S01E02: Face/Off, Masks and Identity

  • Résumé

  • With its stylised gun play, John Woo's action films have been called 'ballets of bullets', which hints at their unexpectedly 'poetic' qualities. We test that theory to destruction with Woo's 1997 blockbuster Face/Off, where Nicholas Cage and John Travolta play a hitman and cop who swap identities. Can Yeats, Ovid and Fiona Benson direct a spotlight on the film's unexpected depths?

    Guest star: Chad Bennet, author of Your New Feeling is an Artifact of a Bygone Era, on film fade outs
