Today’s great political film is Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975), voted the greatest film of all time in the 2022 Sight and Sound poll. A classic of feminist cinema it is also a film about the meaning of time and the illusions of choice. How can a movie which shows a woman peeling potatoes in real time have you on the edge of your seat? If the personal is the political, what do three days in the life of a Belgian housewife tell us about the true nature of power?

Today’s episode is a conversation between David and the former politician Chris Smith (long-time MP and Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport in Tony Blair’s first government) about The Candidate (1972), the first great political film of the 1970s. How does its portrayal of the compromises of running for office hold up today? Is it a cynical film or an inspiring one? And what lessons does it have for politics in the age of Trump?

Uma das trajetórias mais longevas e prolíficas da literatura brasileira se encerrou no último dia 9 de dezembro com a morte de Dalton Trevisan, perto de completar 100 anos. Em mais de 80 anos dedicados aos livros, o autor de O vampiro de Curitiba (1965), A Polaquinha (1985) e Cemitério de Elefantes (1993) continuava ativo, escrevendo e reescrevendo seus textos, uma obra iniciada na década de 40. Neste 125º episódio do 451 MHz, a curadora da Flip, Ana Lima Cecilio, e o escritor e tradutor Caetano W. Galindo conversam sobre o talento extraordinário de Dalton para o conto, suas influências, a relação com a cidade de Curitiba e dão dicas para começar a ler o autor. O episódio foi realizado com apoio da Lei de Incentivo à Cultura.

We resume our series on the great political films with Costa-Gavras’s Z (1969), the quintessential late 60s movie about assassination, conspiracy, street politics and police brutality. How could a film shot in Algeria and starring French actors so faithfully reconstruct a recent Greek political killing? How did it capture the spirit of the times? And what does it say about the relationship between politics as violence and politics as story-telling?

Neste episódio, o antropólogo Piero Leirner analisa a tentativa de golpe bolsonarista e o relatório elaborado pela Polícia Federal, e propõe uma visão diferente da versão oficial.
Em um relatório de mais de 800 páginas, a Polícia Federal esmiuçou os detalhes do plano golpista tramado pelo ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro e seus aliados durante 2022 e 2023.
A ideia, de acordo com o documento, era assassinar o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, o vice-presidente Geraldo Alckmin, e o ministro do STF Alexandre de Moraes, além de, claro, manter Bolsonaro no poder.
O relatório se baseia em documentos, conversas e depoimentos coletados de membros do Exército, da Marinha e da Aeronáutica. No fim, pelo relatório, é possível se concluir que as Forças Armadas salvaram a democracia do Brasil pois não aderiram ao golpe. Mas será que é isso mesmo? E se, na verdade, as Forças Armadas elaboraram um plano que vai muito além de uma tentativa de golpe frustrada?
Neste episódio, falamos sobre a tentativa de golpe bolsonarista e sobre o relatório da Polícia Federal, analisando o que está por trás das narrativas oficiais.

To finish this series of bad ideas, David tries to persuade Gary Gerstle of the futility of televised leadership debates. From Nixon vs Kennedy to Harris vs Trump, do the voters really learn anything from these supposed exchanges of ideas? Are they ever much more than a competition to avoid gaffes? And what did British politics gain when it introduced prime ministerial election debates (apart from a brief attack of Cleggmania)?

For our penultimate bad idea in this series, David talks to Robert Saunders about what’s gone wrong with British politics since party members got to decide who leads the party – and in some cases who gets to be prime minister. Is the problem the principle of the thing or the people who end up in charge (Corbyn, Truss)? How did reforms undertaken in the name of democracy manage to undermine democracy? And what are the alternatives?

Today’s bad idea is a theory of the universe: David talks to astrophysicist Chris Lintott about Steady State Theory, the rival cosmological model to the Big Bang, which held its own for a while in the 1940s and 1950s but turned out to be unsustainable. Why did its best-known champion Fred Hoyle have so much faith in it? What did it expose about the limitations of Big Bang theory? And what does it reveal about scientific hubris and human weakness in the face of the unknown?

Today’s bad idea concerns history itself: David talks to world historian Ayse Zarakol about the temptations and the pitfalls of the idea of The End of History. Francis Fukuyama popularised the phrase in 1989 at the end of the Cold War. What did his vision of the triumph of liberal democracy miss? Was it a Western fantasy or a modern fantasy or both? How has history exacted its revenge? And if history doesn’t end, does it repeat?
