Summary

We continue Art House August with a look at Christopher Petit’s Radio On. Released in 1979, the film is a road movie about a London man investigating the death of his brother in Bristol. A deliberately paced black and white film, it became famous for the use of modern music on its soundtrack.

Ben Slater and Mark Begley join Mike to discuss this unusual film. Writer/director Chris Petit talks about how the film came together.
