With the major fall fests in the rearview and awards season coming down the pike, we're getting a lot of interesting movies in theaters right now, so we thought it was time to look at 3 of the more high profile ones. Martin Scorsese's Cannes premiere KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, Justine Triet's Palme D'Or winner ANATOMY OF A FALL, and Sofia Coppola's Venice Best Actress winner PRISCILLA are all discussed.

Maestro’s Music with Fran Hoepfner
Friday Oct 27, 2023
Friday Oct 27, 2023
Leonard Bernstein is one of the most important musical figures of the 20th century. He is also the Maestro, as explored in the upcoming film MAESTRO, directed by noted weird guy Bradley Cooper. We wanted some more context before MAESTRO makes its way across America, so we turned to America's preeminent MAESTRO authority, FRAN HOEPFNER! Together we do some light previewing of the film, and dig into a range of Bernstein's composing works: ON THE TOWN, SYMPHONY NO. 2: AGE OF ANXIETY, ON THE WATERFRONT, and CANDIDE.

NYFF Reactions and Annie Baker’s THE ANTIPODES
Friday Oct 13, 2023
Friday Oct 13, 2023
NYFF is close to wrapping up, so we've gotten a good idea of how New York has reacted to all sorts of things. We discuss that, the rest of the fall festival landscape, some AFI odds and ends, and then turn to look at an earlier work from JANET PLANET director ANNIE BAKER, her 2017 play THE ANTIPODES. We discuss the world Baker creates in the play, where it departs from her earlier work, and what we find so compelling about her as an artist.

Wes Anderson has been busy and we are ON IT. Back with 4 shorts based on Roald Dahl short stories, all streaming now on Netflix, we look at THE WONDERFUL STORY OF HENRY SUGAR, THE SWAN, THE RAT CATCHER, and POISON, and discuss what unites them, what we responded to, and how the release and platform suits or does not suit the work Anderson is doing here.

TIFF concluded, Venice has long ago handed out it's Lions and Cups, and most of the CIKI crew is back at home. We get together to go over the big winners of the 2 awardsy Fall Fests (congrats to POOR THINGS and AMERICAN FICTION), break down the balance of our TIFF slates, and generally gas on about the state of theatrical distribution and managing online inventory for ticketed events in a fair way.
