Rob Stuart, Chantal Panozzo, Peter Hilton
Our cinema guru Rob Stuart joined us in the studio to talk about UCLA film professor Howard Suber, who was in Basel a few weeks ago to discuss American Cinema. In addition, Rob told us about the new Richard Linklater film Boyhood and Clive Owen and Juliette Binoche-starrer Words and Pictures. Rob also reviewed summer blockbuster Godzilla.
Chantal Panozzo told us about her new book called Swiss Life: 30 Things I Wish I’d Known, which was published in May 2014. Chantal is an American writer and copywriter who has been living in Switzerland since 2006. Originally from Chicago, she has written widely about her experiences living in the land of cheese and chocolate. An essential - and funny - guide to living in Switzerland!
Peter Hilton stopped by to talk about the current Semi-Circle production Calendar Girls. There are four performances left, so don't miss out! The company also made calendars featuring the cast and crew. They sell for CHF 15.- and proceeds will go to the Krebsliga.
