8: Carol and Santa Claus: The Movie

It’s a festive treat in the latest episode of STUDIOCANAL Presents, as we delve into a pair of films with a seasonal flavour to them.

Firstly, host Simon Brew is joined by critic Casper Salmon, and they explore Todd Haynes’ modern classic Carol, from 2015. Was this the case of the right film for the right people at the right time?

Then, comedian Sooz Kempner joins Simon as they head back to the 1980s for a look at Santa Claus: The Movie. The 1985 feature was a hugely ambitious Christmas feature on its first release: but what lessons does it teach us about this time of year?

Carol is available on the STUDIOCANAL Presents channel, on Apple TV and Prime Video. It’s also on DVD and Blu-ray. Santa Claus: The Movie is available on DVD and Blu-ray.
