Taking Tiger Mountain Revisited (2019)

On this special episode of The Projection Booth we're looking at the 2019 film Taking Tiger Mountain Revisited. It's an update of the 1983 film Taking Tiger Mountain which stars a young Bill Paxton as Billy Hampton, a man who’s been brainwashed and sent to a patriarchal country by a group of militant females in order to assassinate its leader and stop the widespread human traffic in which the leader indulges.

Chris Stachiw (opens in a new tab) and Heather Drain (opens in a new tab) (who wrote the liner notes for the upcoming Etiquette Pictures (opens in a new tab) release of Taking Tiger Mountain Revisited) join Mike for a brief discussion of the film, Alan Nourse's The Bladerunner (opens in a new tab), William S. Burroughs's Blade Runner: A Movie (opens in a new tab), Brian Eno's Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) (opens in a new tab), and more. The film's co-director, Tom Huckabee (opens in a new tab) joins Mike for an interview. Apologies for the audio quality of the second half of the recording.
