Jay Cheel of Film Junk, Kurt Halfyard of Row Three's Cinecast, and Zach Betonte of Film Jive join me in a quick 90-minute conversation about the two recently released films COMPLIANCE and THE IMPOSTER, both of which I think are two of the year's best.  I have a couple of reservations about the latter which are brought up, but most of the debates surround the former.  Overall you can expect a roundtable-style discussion as we examine two very interesting films that tackle true life stories about liars and manipulation.  COMPLIANCE fictionalizes a real-life event that is shocking and stranger than fiction, and for some, this fictionalized approach doesn’t entirely work.  THE IMPOSTER has been highly praised for its style and taut thriller-like execution (and rightfully so), and I mention a couple of things that lead to some questions surrounding documentary ethics and the way we perceive the events overall. For the most part, the conversation surrounds the idea of director intention and the way both stories are presented in distinctively challenging ways that spark some thought-provoking ideas about the way we watch movies based on true events.  Since I realize both of these films are in limited release at the moment, I will promote this episode again once these two titles are out on DVD & Blu-Ray so you can listen to the discussion and maybe send us your thoughts/comments once you've had a chance to catch up with these movies, and I really hope that you do .  Both of these movies are conversation-stimulators in the best way, and I couldn't have been happier that these three guests complied and came on the show for a lively bit of rambling.  We will return to the regular format next week with Patrick as well, when guest Damon Houx joins us to talk about the great Wong Kar-Wai.  - JimEmail us:  directorsclubpodcast@gmail.comWebsite:  http://directorsclubpodcast.com
