Seeing and Believing Episode 114: Sofia Coppola’s The Beguiled and Ana Lily Amirpour’s The Bad Batch

What better way to celebrate the week of the Fourth of July than with movies about the Civil War and about cannibalism? Sofia Coppola’s latest film centers on a group of women in the Deep South who must contend with the intrusion of a wounded soldier in their midst, while Ana Lily Amirpour (of A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night fame) offers a vision of a postapocalyptic wasteland in which rejects from the United States form their own savage societies out in the desert. Let the guys bring a patriotic tear to your eye in this episode of Seeing & Believing.
