#274: Kenji Fujishima, Dr. Green Thumb

Today, Kenji Week on Muhf***as I Know comes to a close with this convo I had with film writer Kenji Fujishima. An avid arts and culture junkie, I talk to him about Lena Dunham (which seems to be a constant topic on this podcast), his days growing up in New Jersey, his job at the Wall Street Journal and his new gig as editor-in-chief for In Review Online. We also seem to bond over two things only film nerds can bond over: Werner Herzog and the movie Spaceballs. Don't ask me how we got to that point. Just be glad I got it all for your listening pleasure.

Muhf***as I Know: Kenji Fujishima

Kenji Fujishima might not have the wisdom that comes from age of Peter's previous guests, but the two have an excellent time talking about how he became a hardcore cinephile and writing for The House Next Door. Kenji discusses reading Pauline Kael at an early age, choosing to forgo his mother’s wishes to go into accounting, and becoming a consumer of arts beyond cinema. The two also chat about his blog My Life, 24 Frames Per Seconds, balancing emotion and formalism in writing, and the beauty of “cinematic recklessness.” Finally, they explore the dark beauty of Wong Kar-Wai’s Fallen Angels, which Kenji posits as the filmmaker’s most reflexive commentary on his own feelings to transition toward a new style.  0:00-5:00 - Act One: Establishing Shots - Sight &amp; Sound Poll 5:16-52:13 - Act Two: Deep Focus - Kenji Fujishima 53:07-1:18:12 - Act Three: Double Exposure - Fallen Angels (Wong Kar-Wai) 1:18:13-1:19:50 - Close/Outtake
