Four Favorites with Ariela Barer: Blade Runner, conformists, pipelines and Almodóvar

We’re crying tears in the rain! The Letterboxd Show returns with actress and screenwriter Ariela Barer, star of How to Blow Up a Pipeline, whose faves include Blade Runner, The Conformist, Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! In a shocking twist, Ariela makes hosts Gemma and Slim watch four hours of Love Exposure for nothing as she dramatically pivots live on air to Kathryn Bigelow’s Strange Days for her fourth fave!

We also praise film school nerds, discuss consent among movie characters, Ariela’s mom’s and sister’s important roles in her film education, remembers watching Blade Runner on a teenage date, and unpacks Pipeline director Daniel Goldhaber’s Letterboxd addiction: “He sends us reviews daily, we had to beg him to stop!” And! Blade Runner joins the one-million-watched club as the show is recorded.
