We'll Always Have Aqaba - David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia Few films are able to live up to the label of "epic". In 1962 David Lean created one of the great epic masterpieces of cinema, Lawrence of Arabia. Based on the life of British archaeologist, army officer, diplomat, and write, T.E. Lawrence, Lean's film chronicles Lawrence's involvement in the Arab Revolt (1916-1918), his life among his adopted tribal families and his struggles with loyalty to the Arab tribes, the dessert, and his ties to his British roots. Lean's film is an epic in every way; from beautiful 70mm cinematography (lensed by the great Freddie Young) majestic and engrossing music from Maurice Jarre, and the incredible editing of Anne V. Coates (all three Academy Award winners for the film). Introducing Peter O'Toole and Omar Shariff, Lean would help create two of the great international stars Cinema has known. It's a thrill for Mr. Chavez and I to sit down, watch, remember, and discuss this powerful, overwhelming, and life-changing film. Take a listen as we dig into the history of The Middle East, the reception and legacy of this film, and comparisons to other "White Saviour" stories. It's a damn good talk. We hope you'll enjoy.

“But where is Becket's honour?”Before cameras could roll on Becket, the film's producers had to secure the screen rights to Jean Anouilh's original French play. Anouilh was initially hesitant to sell the rights, but the persistence of producer Hal B. Wallis convinced him to sign on. With the acclaimed playwright on board, the next task was finding a director who could bring the theatrical story to life on the big screen. The producers eventually landed on Peter Glenville, an experienced theater director who had recently made the jump to film. With Glenville set to direct, Wallis turned his attention to casting the two crucial lead roles. Several big names were considered, but it ultimately came down to Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole. The two actors had never worked together before, but their chemistry and talent made them the perfect choices to embody this complex medieval tale of friendship and betrayal. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we kick off the 1965 BAFTAs Best Film From Any Source Nominees series with a conversation about Glenville's 1964 film Becket.Here's a hint at what we talk about:We dive deep into the fascinating central relationship between King Henry II and Thomas Becket. Their intimate friendship takes surprising twists and turns, and we examine how Burton and O'Toole bring nuance, humor, and gravitas to their performances. We also discuss how Becket grapples with weighty themes like loyalty, honor, and the separation of church and state. Though we take issue with some historical inaccuracies, we find the film an engrossing character study bolstered by its two talented leads.Here are a few other points in our discussion: Appreciating Becket's unexpected comedic tone and banter The riveting confrontations between Henry and Becket Questioning the importance of the Saxon/Norman divide Assessing Peter Glenville's brisk direction and Anne V. Coates' editing Burton and O'Toole's captivating performances Becket gives a revealing look at how friendship, politics, and religion collide for two powerful men.

This week, I was so pleased to welcome one of the best film writers currently working today - the wonderful Sheila O'Malley - back to the podcast. A regular film critic for RogerEbert.com and a member of the prestigious New York Film Critics Circle, Sheila's work has also appeared in Film Comment, The New York Times, The L.A. Times, Criterion Collection, Sight & Sound, and other outlets. Additionally, a scene from her full-length script JULY AND HALF OF AUGUST was turned into a short film, which played at the Albuquerque Film and Music Experience, as well as at EbertFest. She's also written the narration scripts for two tribute reels played at the Lifetime Achievement Oscar ceremony, one for recipient Gena Rowlands (read by Angelina Jolie) and one for recipient Anne V. Coates (read by Diane Lane). Always a must-read, when she isn't doing everything else, Sheila writes about actors, movies, and Elvis at her outstanding personal site, The Sheila Variations. Returning for the first time since last winter when she joined me to discuss BLUE HAWAII on one of our winter physical media episodes, we had so much fun cracking each other up about Elvis movies that we couldn't resist tackling five more together this time. Focusing on a group of films that Sheila considers to be underrated for one reason or another, whether that's because it's a western, features a remarkable performance, or is the epitome of what a '60s Elvis romcom musical could be when it's done well, in this sparkling conversation, we cover KING CREOLE, FLAMING STAR, GIRL HAPPY, LIVE A LITTLE LOVE A LITTLE, & THE TROUBLE WITH GIRLS.

The SMC team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, Craig Hammill) return to their occasional series about elements of cinema. Today we discuss the art of editing, examples of great cuts in movies like Point Blank, The Wild Bunch, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Little Women, Hostel and great all-time editors like Dede Allen, Paul Hirsch, Sergei Eisenstein, Michael Kahn, Anne V. Coates among others.
Our guests on this edition of The Rough Cut, editor John Axelrad ACE and his assistant editor Jared Simon, can certainly speak eloquently on the subjects of storytelling and editing techniques, but when you listen to their interview, it absolutely comes through how methodical they are in their organization and communication, because success with that is what frees them up to be as creative as possible and to think about all those wonderful storytelling conundrums. John and Jared first teamed up on the film Ad Astra, and they are back together again on their new film, Antebellum. Originally scheduled for a theatrical release earlier in the year, the film was delayed until now as a video on demand release due to the impact of the pandemic. It’s not often that we have both the editor and the assistant, or assistants, on the show together. And that’s a shame because it really adds a lot in terms of what we can learn from them. And with mentoring and career building and "passing the torch" to a new generation being so vital to this industry, hearing the assistant share their experience on how the editor, or any mentor, helped to bring them along, is very cool. We even get to talk about one of the editors John learned under, the amazing Anne V. Coates, who won an Oscar in 1963 for her work on Lawrence of Arabia, and then went on to be nominated four more times; the last being for Steven Soderbergh’s Out of Sight, the first picture John worked on with her. And we get into all that plus; the importance of a good editing room "codebook", making the most of markers, how to properly prep material for 5.1, and much more!

In this episode of the "Sight, Sound & Story" Podcast we will go Inside the Cutting Room with author and film historian Bobbie Osteen for a panel highlighting the career of legendary Oscar-winning feature film editor Anne Coates, ACE. Five Academy Award Nominations and one Academy Award, an editor of 54 films; Anne made huge waves thanks to her incredible eye for a good cut and her talent for adapting to the needs of a variety of directors. This is from our Post Production Summit on June 11th, 2016 in New York City. Moderator: Bobbie O'Steen, "Cut to the Chase," "The Invisible Cut" Speaker: Anne V. Coates, ACE ("Lawrence of Arabia," "The Elephant Man," "Out of Sight," "Erin Brockovich") About Anne V. Coates, ACE: Anne was a renowned British editor who has worked on over sixty films, including the classic epic "Lawrence of Arabia," for which she received an Academy Award. She has garnered four additional Academy Award nominations for "Becket," "The Elephant Man," "In the Line of Fire," and "Out of Sight." She was awarded BAFTA’s highest honor, The Academy Fellowship, as well as the Career Achievement Award from American Cinema Editors - and in 2015 Coates was only the second editor besides Dede Allen to receive a career achievement award from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. About Bobbie O’Steen: Bobbie is a writer and film historian, dedicated to sharing the editor’s invisible art. She is an Emmy-nominated editor and author of two acclaimed books: "Cut to the Chase," based on interviews with her late husband and colleague, legendary editor Sam O’Steen; and "The Invisible Cut," which deconstructs classic movie scenes through a cut-by-cut analysis. She is a frequent moderator for American Cinema Editors’ EditFest panels and host of her own “Inside the Cutting Room” event series. She has also taught at the American Film Institute, graduate film workshops at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and has created an ongoing course, “Making the Cut,” based on her interviews with over sixty editors. O’Steen’s next project is a media-rich eBook called "Making the Cut at Pixar" about the editor's pioneering role in computer animation. To find out more information on her speaking events go to http://:www.bobbieosteen.com. Produced by Manhattan Edit Workshop (MEWShop), “Sight, Sound & Story” is an ongoing high-profile speaker series that brings audiences “behind the scenes” with legends of visual storytelling.

Wanna start a fight with a cinephile? Ask whether the match cut (which is NOT a match cut) from Lawrence of Arabia, or the bone cut from 2001: A Space Odyssey, is the greatest single edit of all time. Regardless, Anne V. Coates is one hell of an editor.
The endlessly fascinating Jennifer Engstrom graces us in the Booth today. Jen is a long-time ensemble member of A Red Orchid Theatre (as is our last guest, playwright Brett Neveu). She has appeared in over a dozen productions there and at many other great Chicago theaters (as well as in productions in London and New York). She grew up on a farm outside of Huxley, Iowa and made her way to the big city via the College of DuPage theatre program, where she soon became active in the speech department. And who coached and encouraged her in a career in the performing arts? None other than our own Frank Tourangeau! Frank was a professor and head of the speech department during Jennifer's time there and served as her mentor and teacher. Frank relates how he cast her in the play Whose Life is it Anyway? as the lead made famous on Broadway and the West End by Tom Conti, and revived some years later with Mary Tyler Moore in the starring role. By all accounts, Jen was luminous in the part. BTW, when Gary was working in Emanuel Azenberg's office, he was a stand-in for Tom Conti for several rehearsals on the Broadway production. In addition to her numerous acting roles, Jennifer has had an interesting career as an understudy around Chicago. We discuss her going on as Blanche DuBois at the last minute in a Writers Theatre production of A Streetcar Named Desire, directed by David Cromer. Though she knew the blocking and the lines well, her costumes had not been finished and there was a mad scramble to devise a proper wardrobe track for that performance (which Gary and producer Betsy were privileged to see!). She also stepped in for Amy Morton in the Steppenwolf Theatre production of Taylor Mac's HIR when Ms. Morton turned her ankle on stage prior to the first preview. Jennifer had learned all the lines and after a rushed blocking rehearsal, kept the curtain up for the first preview audience in stellar fashion. To quote the wonderful stage manager, Laura Glenn, "She was a total professional and I was so grateful she was there." Among Jennifer's favorite playwrights are Tennessee Williams, Edward Albee and newcomer Jen Silverman, whose play Witch will get a world premiere production at Writers Theatre in the fall. Two items of show biz interest - The Play That Goes Wrong is closing on Broadway in August. One of the most hilarious shows that Gary and Frank have ever seen, a national tour is scheduled so don't miss this gem of a show if it comes to your town. And the five-and-a-half hour adaptation of Roberto Bolano's mammoth novel 2066 can be seen on streaming video soon. In an unusual arrangement, a filmed version of the Goodman Theatre's production will be available free, unlimited streaming for at least two years. Frank was a big fan of this production. You may have to watch in installments given it's extraordinary length, but you're unlikely to see another production of it anywhere any time soon. Jennifer has created and performs a one-woman show called Excuse My Dust, A Dorothy Parker Portfolio, in which she embodies the writer and humorist in an evening of theatrical monologues from Parker's writings. Dorothy Parker was an original member of the Algonquin Round Table and a unique coiner of the cutting remark. Gary and Betsy are going to the Red Orchid spring fundraiser at which Jennifer is performing selections from Excuse My Dust. More to report on our next episode. We play a little Chat Pack with Jennifer and find that she would like to be a rock star for a month, a la Beyonce. And people often ask her how she learns all those lines! Kiss of Death: Anne V. Coates, Admired Editor of Acclaimed Movies One of the most celebrated film editors of her era, Ms. Coates won an Oscar for her work on Lawrence of Arabia directed by David Lean and starring Peter O'Toole. The film editor's craft is often called "the invisible art," but is one of the most vital ingredients in the alchemy of filmmaking.
On the Senses of Cinema podcast Eloise and Mark are joined once again by our brand new editor Cesar Albarran Torres. We're talking the re-imagining of Peter Weir's classic film with Picnic at Hanging Rock the mini-series and then we talk abattoirs, deer and shared dreams in Ildiko Enyedi's On Body and Soul. Finally we celebrate the career of Anne V Coates and we discuss her incredible editing work on films such as Lawrence of Arabia and The Elephant Man. We end as always with our recommendations for the month of May, and for our patron bonus we discuss the Cinema and the Museum dossier published in the March issue of Senses of Cinema.

The acclaimed film editor Anne V. Coates died yesterday at the age of 92. Born in England in 1925, Coates began training as an editor in the late 1940s and went on to work in Hollywood with numerous renowned directors including David Lean, Steven Soderbergh and Sidney Lumet. In addition to her Oscar win for "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962), Coates received scores of BAFTA and Oscar nominations for her work on films including "Erin Brockovich," "The Elephant Man," "Becket," "Murder on the Orient Express," "In the Line of Fire," and "Out of Sight." In 2016, she was awarded the Governor's Award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, as well as the Los Angeles Film Critics Association's award for career achievement.

Earlier this year celebrated architect Zaha Hadid died suddenly in Miami. Now, as the Serpentine Gallery exhibits a collection of her early drawings and a new wing of the Science Museum designed by the architect opens to the public, Front Row considers the breadth of her work.Last month, 90-year-old British film editor Anne V Coates received an honorary Oscar - her second statuette. She won an Oscar for editing Lawrence of Arabia in 1963. Anne discusses her remarkable career which has included cutting David Lynch's The Elephant Man, Stephen Soderbergh's Out of Sight and, just last year, Sam Taylor-Johnson's 50 Shades of Grey. In Jennifer Aniston's new film the office Christmas bash, that annual opportunity for excruciating embarrassment, assumes new significance. The office workers have to host an epic Christmas do in an effort to impress a potential client and close the sale that will save their jobs. The cast includes Kate McKinnon, of Saturday Night Live. Laroushka Ivan-Zadeh reviews Office Christmas Party, and casts her eye over the other Christmas films.Producer: Julian May.
