What does the word "arthouse" mean to you? Is it a useless marketing label, or a legitimate identifier for a certain style of filmmaking? Or is it somewhere in-between? Maybe you'll obtain the answers you desire in this week's installment of Gruncle's Movie Month: The Greatest Film Podcast of All Time. This week we ravenously consumed our healthy dose of 4 films: Lars Von Trier's 2011 cosmic-depression-fest "Melancholia", Elaine May's 1976 subversive gangster flick "Mikey and Nicky", Mike Mills' 2021 b&w tender familial journey "C'mon C'mon", and King Hu's 1979 fusion of the mystical and the scientific in "Legend of the Mountain". Don't trust that Gruncle fellla.
