THE OWLS LEGACY is an intellectually agile, engaging, and sometimes biting look at ancient Greece, its influences on Western cultureand how many eras have reinterpreted the Greek legacy to reflect their own needs. Each of the 13 episodes is centered on a potent Greek word: from democracy and philosophy to mythology and misogyny. Marker convenes and films symposiameals featuring wine and thoughtful conversationin locales including Paris, Tokyo, Tbilisi, Berkeley, and an olive grove on Athens outskirts. Footage from these banquets is interspersed with archival materials and interviews (often featuring a stylized or distorted owl image looming in the background). Markers diverse group of informants includes composers, politicians, classicists, historians, scientists, writers, filmmakers, and actors. Together their contributions form a compelling (and sometimes contradictory) cultural and historical exploration for each theme.

Philip Roth, sans complexe (TV)

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Philip Roth, arguably Americas greatest living novelist, turns 80 on March 19. In 1959, his collection of short stories, Goodbye, Columbus, put him on the map, and 10 years later his hilarious, ribald best-seller, Portnoys Complaint, gave rise to the first of many Roth-related controversies in which Judaism, sex, the role of women, and the parent-child relationship would take center stage. In candid interviews, the Pulitzer Prize-winner discusses his distinctly unliterary upbringing in Newark, NJ, his admiration for Saul Bellow and Bernard Malamud, and how Zuckerman may or may not be his alter-ego. Nathan Englander, Mia Farrow, Jonathan Franzen, and Martin Garbus are among those who talk about the man and his writing. Franzen in particular praises Roth for how brave he must have been to have methodically offended everybody and to have exposed parts of himself no one had ever exposed before.
