Nicolas Cage plays himself in "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent," and only his most ardent fans will want to see this silly film about what it means to be a movie star. Although HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano enjoy some of the career-referenced jokes, they agree in this podcast episode that it's so superficial that the film lacks the metaphysical weight of a somewhat similar film, "Being John Malkovitch." Marie and Mike also discuss French director Jacques Audiard's "Paris, 13th District." It's a romantic drama in which the central characters are attempting to make sense of their intertwined relationships. Marie and Mike remark that this black-and-white film resembles earlier French New Wave character studies.
