This week on the podcast, Glenn and Daniel bask in the unfilmable visual splendor and existential complexity of Life of Pi, the new film that proves that director Ang Lee is not a man to be tied down in a single genre (32:45).

May contain some NSFW language.

FilmWonk rating: 8/10

Show notes:

• Music for this episode comes from Mychael Danna’s score for the film (track “The Second Story“).
• We compare this film to both Avatar and Cloud Atlas – check out our word on those films as well!
• Point of interest – Piscine Molotor is a real swimming complex…but it’s no longer open.
