Il Caimano and The Beginning with Patrick Cotnoir
Friday Apr 16, 2021
Friday Apr 16, 2021
What does it take to get a movie made? This is question we explore through our return to Cannes 2006 with Nanni Moretti’s story of a down on his luck Italian film producer, IL CAIMANO. Joining us is producer in his own right, of the George Lucas Talk Show, Patrick Cotnoir! We get into the tonal whiplash, the COMEY RULE of it all, and all admit how little we know about the Italian film industry and Italian political history. The natural segue then is to talk about THE BEGINNING, the making of documentary about STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE which originally came on the DVD. Rick McCallum, Ewan McGregor, John Williams, and the joys and the cringe of a Behind The Scenes project are all on the table. All that and a special shoutout to the #BTSArmy!

Wong Kar-wai
Friday Mar 26, 2021
Friday Mar 26, 2021
With a shiny new Criterion Box Set getting released and on the heels of the “theatrical” runs of some new restorations, we look at Wong Kar-Wai’s film festival run and his work more generally. We have already talked HAPPY TOGETHER, so we focus in mostly on CHUNGKING EXPRESS, IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, and 2046, with some brief FALLEN ANGELS talk and some references to his earlier movies as well. Use of color, focus in on relationships, and his depiction of time and place are all on the docket as we dive into the wonderful world of Wong.

The Salt of Tears with Jordan Cronk
Friday Feb 26, 2021
Friday Feb 26, 2021
Philippe Garrel’s THE SALT OF TEARS has departed the festival circuit and is now playing in virtual cinemas, so we took this opportunity to welcome back film writer and curator Jordan Cronk to talk the new release as well as look back at his history and some of his recent work. JEALOUSY, IN THE SHADOW OF WOMEN, and LOVER FOR A DAY, as well as his son Louis’ A FAITHFUL MAN are all touched on as we look at his style, his approach to character, and what an audience’s expectations are for these movies.
