European Fest Favorite Christian Petzold’s new movie UNDINE is released today in US, so we got one of the biggest Petzold fans around, Jesse’s Best Friend Daniel Foster, to talk the new release as well as his two previous features PHOENIX and TRANSIT. We get into his controlled, clockwork style of filmmaking, the power of his endings, and the future career potential of Big Gunther.

All May long we’ll be diving into the uniquely cinematic world of Claire Denis. First up to discuss one of her most well known films and the two that followed it, we have returning favorite Bilge Ebiri of New York Magazine and Vulture to discuss BEAU TRAVAIL, TROUBLE EVERY DAY, and FRIDAY NIGHT. We touch on Denis’ evolving style, the availability of these movies, and the history of the Bravo network.

Looking at some recent festival movies with new releases we visit the world of Roy Andersson’s latest ABOUT ENDLESSNESS and Cristi Puiu’s MALMKROG. The former is now available on digital release, the latter streaming on Mubi in the US. Joining us is writer Eva Anderson, and we have a wide ranging conversation touching on the oppressiveness of some movies, the Moscow Film Festival, what it means to pull out a Bible to win an argument, and so much more.

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!
