For their 195th episode, two imposter film critics, two murderous dads, and two non-Italian school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, stay in the monumental year of 1999 for one more week with another cornerstone film. Lapped at the time by the likes of "The Matrix," "American Beauty," "Magnolia," and "Fight Club," stands the late Anthony Minghella's salacious "The Talented Mr. Ripley" starring the early white-hot coals of Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Minghella's follow-up to his Oscar-winning "The English Patient," might have aged better than those previously mentioned 1999 bangers, and our guys are here to dote on its top-to-bottom lavishness.

Fascinada por el mal, Patricia Highsmith (1921-1995) revela la fragilidad de nuestra moralidad en ese maestro del escapismo que es Tom Ripley. Su ciclo de cinco libros ha inspirado películas en que aparece encarnado por actores como Alain Delon, Dennis Hopper, Matt Damon o John Malkovich. Este asesino y falsificador, representa el prototipo de antihéroe. Y como todo antihéroe, tiene más discernimiento que principios. Aunque a menudo es descrito como un psicópata, para Highsmith, podría ser cualquiera de nosotros. La novela de Highsmith, "El talento de Mr. Ripley" (1955) fue llevada al cine por René Clément en "A pleno sol" (1960), primero en Francia, donde residió la escritora mucho tiempo. Para muchos, la robusta figura de Matt Damon en la adaptación del británico Anthony Minghella en 1999, no resiste la comparación con la hermosura de Alain Delon, ¡no digamos John Malkovich! La cuestión es que la bonhomía de Damon muestra la ambigüedad de Ripley y lo turbio de Malkovich en la versión de Liliana Cavani en 2002, su astucia, mientras Delon representa su encanto y seducción. Son todos aspectos del mismo personaje. En sus primeras notas lo describe en 1954 como "un joven estadounidense, medio homosexual, un pintor mediocre de aspecto inofensivo, atractivo para algunos y repelente para otros". En este programa de radio Al Trasluz, escuchamos algunos fragmentos de "El talento de Mr. Ripley", leído por Luis Posada y escenas de la película que hizo sobre el libro, Minghella en 1999, así como el tráiler de la serie "Ripley", que ha hecho Steven Zaillian para Netflix en 2024. La canción de Gloria Christian con la orquesta de Gino Conte (Na sera pè fatalità) es de la serie de Zaillian y "My Funny Valentine" es cantada por el actor Matt Damon en la película de Minghella con el cuarteto de Guy Barker. El texto y la narración de José de Segovia tiene el fondo instrumental de la banda sonora original de Gabriel Yared para la película de Minghella y Jeff Russo para la serie de Zaillian, que incluyen composiciones de jazz como "You Are Not There" de Don Rendell. El diseño sonoro y la realización técnica es de Daniel Panduro.

Dante Ferretti"Bellezza imperfetta"Io e PasoliniA cura di David MiliozziEdizioni Pendragonwww.pendragon.itDante Ferretti, tre premi Oscar, tra i più celebri scenografi al mondo, racconta il suo lungo sodalizio professionale e umano con Pier Paolo Pasolini, cominciato da giovanissimo sul set de Il Vangelo secondo Matteo e terminato il 2 novembre 1975, quando il cadavere martoriato del grande poeta e pensatore fu ritrovato all'idroscalo di Ostia. Ripercorrendo il lungo tratto di carriera che ha condiviso con Pasolini, l'autore ci mostra anche gli straordinari bozzetti delle scenografie che hanno dato forma all'immaginario filmico pasoliniano, confrontandoli con i fotogrammi degli stessi film.Consegnandoci un ritratto scanzonato e crepuscolare di un uomo che possedeva il raro dono di capire il suo tempo, insieme al sapore di un'epoca irripetibile del cinema italiano e internazionale (sfilano davanti ai nostri occhi Federico Fellini, Elio Petri, Maria Callas, Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton e tanti altri), queste pagine ci rivelano il volto inedito di un artista immenso, capace, sul set e nella vita, di investire le persone che gli erano accanto di un'energia umana e intellettuale tanto potente da cambiarle per sempre.Dante Ferretti (Macerata, 1943) ha avuto una carriera strepitosa che iniziò, ventenne, proprio con Pier Paolo Pasolini, di cui fu aiuto scenografo per Il Vangelo secondo Matteo (1964), Uccellacci e uccellini (1966) e Edipo re (1967); con lui firmò la sua prima scenografia, Medea (1970), e da quel momento Pasolini lo volle al suo fianco fino al suo ultimo film, Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (1975). Ferretti ha lavorato con i più importanti registi italiani – Luigi Comencini, Marco Bellocchio, Elio Petri, Liliana Cavani, Marco Ferreri, Ettore Scola, Franco Zeffirelli –, e in particolare con Federico Fellini, per cui è stato aiuto scenografo nel Fellini Satyricon del 1969 e scenografo in cinque film, fino all'ultima opera cinematografica del maestro riminese, La voce della Luna (1990). I geniali, visionari mondi da lui creati per Il nome della rosa (1986) e Le avventure del barone di Munchausen (1988), per cui ricevette la prima nomination all'Oscar, lo hanno reso celebre a Hollywood e nel mondo, dando avvio a un impressionante elenco di collaborazioni internazionali – tra gli altri, Terry Gilliam, Neil Jordan, Anthony Minghella, Brian De Palma, Martin Brest, Julie Taymor, Tim Burton, Kenneth Branagh – e alla speciale affinità creativa con Martin Scorsese, per cui ha firmato le scenografie di ben nove film da L'età dell'innocenza (1993) a Silence (2016).

He learned banjo and fiddle from his Kentucky grandfather, James Clarence Hay, and has been a part of the thriving Cajun/Creole music community in Louisiana since his early 20s. He has toured and recorded with musicians such as Joan Baez, Rhiannon Giddens, Eric Clapton, Buddy Miller, Loretta Lynn, and Levon Helm, while his contribution to film has found him collaborating with directors like Anthony Minghella ("Cold Mountain"), Ang Lee ("Ride with the Devil"), and Spike Lee ("Bamboozled"). His solo records, which often combine a traditional foundation with a wide-ranging commitment to emotion and original songs, have had impact around the globe. His original song “Waterbound” has been recorded over 100 times. He is also in demand as a producer and owns his own studio, the Cypress House, on the banks of Bayou Teche near Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. On this performance, Dirk is joined by his daughter Amelia.” - https://www.dirkpowell.org/about In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers an archival recording of Ozark originals Aunt Lilly Freeze and her son Ervin Freeze singing the gospel classic “Just One Drop,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives.

Jonathan Tetelman is quickly becoming one of the opera world's most in-demand tenors — not only for the distinctive radiance and warmth of his voice, but also for the wide palette of emotions he brings to the characters he portrays. But as I discovered during a recent sit-down with Tetelman, early in his career the Chilean-American singer had many doubts about whether he could take on the deeply dramatic roles he's become known for. In fact, he almost pulled out of one of his first big European engagements — portraying Paolo in Riccardo Zandonai's Francesca da Rimini at Deutsche Oper Berlin — because of that self-doubt. "I knew the story and thought it would be a good challenge for me," Tetelman shared in our conversation. "But as I was preparing the role, I noticed how heavy and difficult the role was, and I almost pulled the plug on the whole thing, because I felt like I wasn't ready to do it." Then the Covid-19 pandemic forced the world into lockdown, which gave Tetelman six months to immerse himself in the role, unpack its complexities, and build the mental and physical fortitude he needed to make Paolo a character of flesh and blood — not an easy feat for a young singer. "To perform this very dramatic role at 32 was really kind of an eye-opening experience, and an exciting possibility for me to perform other dramatic repertoire in the future. At the time I was really only singing things like Rodolfo and Alfredo, much more lyric repertoire. To get a taste of the verismo, it hooked me immediately." Tetelman credits his success in that production to its director, Christof Loy. "It was the first time I worked with a director who helped me bring out my characterization, and also helped me understand the characterization of my colleagues in a better way. Working with him really challenged me, but it was the thing that was kind of missing in my presentation. From then on I used a lot of the tools and ideas that he gave me for this production." Those tools and ideas have only increased Tetelman's meteoric rise in the years since that Deutsche Oper Berlin production. His first two albums for Deutsche Grammophon, 2022's Arias and last year's The Great Puccini, received rave reviews, with the former winning Tetelman the 2023 Opus Klassik Award for Young Talent of the Year. And this month he's bringing the nuanced approach to character-building he honed with Loy to two major Puccini role debuts at the Metropolitan Opera: Ruggero in a new production of La Rondine, and the naval officer Pinkerton in Anthony Minghella's Madama Butterfly. For Tetelman, building a legacy in the opera world now means not only bringing artistry to the music he performs, but also caring for the characters represented in opera — and helping audiences see themselves in the emotional turmoil and triumph these characters experience. "They're supposed to be human and they're supposed to be full of emotion and everything that embodies humanity. And I think the music is just the vessel that allows us to feel those emotions. I want to be one of those people who can really bring those things out, and help other people understand and feel what these characters feel." Madama Butterfly is on stage at the Metropolitan Opera through May 11. Tetelman's latest album, The Great Puccini, is available across all major streaming platforms. — Classical Post® is created and produced by ⁠Gold Sound Media⁠® LLC, a leading New York marketing agency serving the performing arts industry.

As part of the so-called Britart generation of the early 1990's, artist Sam Taylor-Wood, as she was then known, made her name with photographic and video pieces. Diagnosed with colon cancer in 1997, and then breast cancer three years later, she addressed her treatment and recovery in artworks she made at the time. She moved into filmmaking with her first feature Nowhere Boy, about the life of the young John Lennon in 2009. Other cinematic projects have included adaptations of the E L James novel 50 Shades Of Gray, the James Frey memoir A Million Little Pieces and, most recently, the Amy Winehouse biopic Back To Black.Sam tells John Wilson about the experience of first seeing the Rothko Seagram paintings at the Tate gallery when she was nine years old, and the impact that they had on her in her creative imagination. Being introduced to Andy Warhol films such as Chelsea Girls and Empire made her realise that art and cinema are deeply intertwined and went on to influence her style as a director. John Cassavetes' A Woman Under the Influence was the first film that made Sam want to be a cinematic filmmaker and she also reveals how Oscar-winning director Anthony Minghella encouraged her to make her debut short film Love You More.

Le Patient Anglais, The English Patient, dʹAnthony Minghella sorti en 1996 est un film passionnant, passionnel, qui a touché le cœur de million de spectatrices et de spectateurs et récolté une floppée dʹOscars. Tiré dʹun roman, lʹHomme flambé de Michael Ondaatje, Le Patient anglais raconte une histoire dʹamour fou sur fond de Seconde Guerre mondiale Une histoire entre les sables du Sahara, les rues grouillantes du Caire, et les collines verdoyantes de la Toscane. Un conte fait dʹintrigues et dʹaventures où des personnages se croisent autour dʹun homme, énigmatique, un grand brûlé qui, étonnamment, va bouleverser le cours de leur vie. Amoureux du roman, Anthony Minghella en tire un film épique qui porte en lui le souffle de Casablanca et de Lawrence dʹArabie. Un film à grande échelle avec un casting exceptionnel : Ralph Fiennes dans le rôle du patient anglais Kristin Scott Thomas, Juliette Binoche, Willem Dafoe, Colin Firth et Naveen Andrews. Et ça plaît. Lyrique, épique, romantique, le film détonne dans le paysage cinématographique des années 90. Il est plébiscité par la critique et par le public. Il reçoit de nombreux Oscars en 1997 dont celui du meilleur film, du meilleur réalisateur, du meilleur son, de la meilleure musique, de la meilleure actrice de second rôle pour Juliette Binoche et le césar du Meilleur film étranger. Le Patient anglais, ce sont des êtres détruits qui tente le tout pour le tout dans ce monastère toscan en 1945 pour se reconstruire, enfin, et raconteur leur vérité.

Though there is a lot that happens behind the scenes to win an Academy Award, let alone a Best Picture win, they still work as an interesting way to view the history of film and what was popular at the time. We're also finishing up the month with two films that both utilize extensive flashbacks.Intro & Best Pictures From 1927 to 1996 - 00:00The Last Emperor Clip - 16:14The Last Emperor Review - 16:49The Last Emperor was directed by Bernardo Bertolucci in 1987, and tells the story of China's last emperor, Pu Yi, who reigned for several decades in the twentieth century. The film is loosely based his own autobiography and covers a wide swath of history. We'll discuss how effectively the flashbacks are used, and what their perspectives tell us about the man.The English Patient Clip - 53:19The English Patient Review - 53:55Comparing Flashback Devices, Oscar News, What We're Watching, and Outro - 01:16:12The English Patient from 1996 and directed by Anthony Minghella is an epic, war-time romance set in Africa. The film works, on a. certain level as a mystery, and that is largely due to the missing information the audience is discovering along the way. Is our narrator reliable and are his flashbacks valid? We'll discuss it, along with the way other films have used extensive flashbacks to tell their story.Beyond our reviews, we're also going to talk about the Oscars and #PresentAll23, What We're Watching, and more.
