Citizen X

The Mikes are hunting for a serial killer in Soviet Russia on this episode of Forgotten Cinema as they discuss the 1995 film Citizen X, starring Stephen Rea and Donald Sutherland. An HBO film.

You read that right; Mike Butler and Mike Field are doing a "TV" movie!!! Butler was hoodwinked I tells ya! Field tricked him! But the stigma of non-cinema releases aside, Butler believes this is one of the best films that they have covered thus far on the podcast that he has not already seen.

Listen in as the Mikes discuss the amazing character arch's of both Sutherland and Rea; their chemistry together and their overall fantastic acting. The writing is also top notch in this film which has a surprising amount of heart and warmth in a film which in itself is about the hunt for a man of pure evil.

So grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you, and settle down for Forgotten Cinema

About the Podcast

Forgotten Cinema
A podcast about forgotten films that deserve a second chance
Welcome to Forgotten Cinema! Each episode, Mike Field and Mike Butler highlight a film that for a variety of reasons was forgotten by audiences. Whether it be because a more popular movie was released at the same time or the movie simply didn’t catch on with an audience in the its initial run. We’ll discuss what we love about the movie or perhaps don’t love about it and decide whether the movie is worth a revisit.
