This is an outstanding essay! Easily the best analysis I’ve read of the film. And I loved the podcast. Yet another excellent discussion, brimming with insightful commentary. Great job!

Great discussion..saw this with "Human Desire" in the late 90's at tge Film Forum. Gloria Grahame was smoking hot in both..The latter is based on a Zola novel..I have Germinal gathering dust at home.You ever watch the Depardue film version ?

Haven’t seen that one—although Human Desire is now on Criterion, so I’ll give that a look.
