She joins Simon alongside writer-director Mona Fastvold to talk about The Testament of Ann Lee, in which Seyfried stars as the titular leader of the Shakers. You might not have heard of her and the 18th century radical religious sect she founded—and we promise you've definitely never seen a musical about her. Seyfried talks about her struggle to crack a Manchester accent for the role, never mind all that ecstatic song and dance—and we hear from Fastvold about he old-school filmmaking techniques that helped her and co-writer husband Brady Corbet bring this unique story to the screen on shoestring budget.

El tipo de "The Brutalist" se marcó una interesante película unos años antes sobre el auge y caída de una estrella del pop interpretada -en su versión adulta- por Natalie Portman cuya vida está marcada por las tragedias del cambio de siglo en Estados Unidos. Temas tochos y buena factura.

"The Testament Of Ann Lee" had its world premiere in the main competition of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews from critics, with Amanda Seyfried receiving acclaim for her performance (often described as "career-best" and earning nominations from the Golden Globe Award and the Critics' Choice Award for Best Actress. Directed and co-written by Mona Fastvold (with "The Brutalist" filmmaking and real-life partner, Brady Corbet), the historical musical drama follows the founder of the Shaker religious sect in the 18th century with a supporting cast that includes Thomasin McKenzie, Lewis Pullman, Stacy Martin, Tim Blake Nelson, and Christopher Abbott. Fastvold was kind enough to spend some time speaking with Next Best Picture Owner & Editor In Chief Matt Neglia, while Academy Award-winning composer Daniel Blumberg spoke with Dan Bayer, and Cody Dericks had the opportunity to speak with production designer Sam Bader, costume designer Gosia Karpiuk, and hair, makeup, and prosthetics designer Stephanie Pasicov. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Searchlight Pictures.

For this week's main podcast review, Megan Lachinski, Josh Parham, and Dan Bayer join me to discuss the latest film from Mona Fasvold, "The Testament Of Ann Lee," starring Amanda Seyfried, Thomasin McKenzie, Lewis Pullman, Stacy Martin, Tim Blake Nelson & Christopher Abbott. Co-written with her partner in work and in life, Brady Corbet, and following up the monumental success of last year's "The Brutalist," the duo is back with another $10 million indie film, this time about the founding leader of the Shakers religious sect in the 18th century that, unfortunately, never quite caught on after its world premiere at the 2025 Venice International Film Festival, resulting in zero Oscar nominations. This recording was done before that announcement, and there's plenty to discuss besides the film's awards season run, including Amanda Seyfried's career-best performance, the jaw-dropping cinematography, production, and costume design, the ungodly score and songs by Daniel Blumberg (inspired by real-life Shaker hymns), Fastvold's singular direction, and more! Please tune in as we discuss these elements, the writing, and yes, our Oscar hopes for it before the Lord God tooketh away, in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

Sean and Amanda are joined by Chris Ryan as they enter the bone temple to discuss Nia DaCosta's ‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,' which they all thoroughly enjoyed (10:12). Then, they briefly build the Ralph Fiennes Hall of Fame, featuring their favorite performances from the legendary actor (43:47). Next, they cover Mona Fastvold's ‘The Testament of Ann Lee,' starring Amanda Seyfried, which they found incredibly ambitious and strange but also wonderfully complex and mature (51:39). Finally, Sean is joined by Fastvold to explain what attracted her to the story of Ann Lee and the Shaker movement; talk through the process of cowriting the screenplay with her husband, Brady Corbet; and discuss how she's able to make epic stories with lower-budget independent filmmaking (1:01:56).

Back in 1986, Tim Blake Nelson was a drama student at Julliard when he saw Jim Jarmusch's sophomore feature, DOWN BY LAW. Tom Waits (who would continue to work with Jarmusch, and is starring in his latest film) plays a regular unlucky joe, and does it as no typical Hollywood star could. It was a path into the world of movies that Nelson could see himself following, if he got the chance (which he did). Today, you can see the great Tim Blake Nelson in Mona Fastvold's THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE, which stars Amanda Seyfried.Then Jordan has one quick thing about a great action cinema primer that's fun for action heads and would-be action fans alike: @HeadExposure's Action Year in Review. Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.

Co-Writer, Director, and Producer Mona Fastvold joins the Toolkit for an in depth discussion of her incredible new period musical. We dig into the research which birthed the transfixing movements and sounds of the film, the challenges star Amanda Seyfried faced preparing for the role, and how Fastvold and partner Brady Corbet execute epic scale on indie budgets.

Auditrices, Auditeurs, mes chers cinéphiles,J'ai, en ce soir du 06 janvier, une pensée avant tout pour ceux qui assurent la continuité de la Cinéphilie : producteurs, exploitants, distributeurs, techniciens, intermittents, tous ceux qui sont ce soir comme toujours en première ligne face aux difficultés. Protéger, filmer, sortir, distribuer, apporter secours et fraternité, ainsi va la vie des grandes nations qui tiennent chaque jour par le dévouement de leurs cinéphiles. J'ai une pensée en votre nom à tous, pour celles et ceux qui sont seuls au cinéma, malades de bons films, dans l'épreuve ou le dénuement. Je sais comme la situation est difficile pour beaucoup d'entre vous, placés devant des souffrances filmiques et les malheurs du cinéma états-unien, et je veux vous dire notre soutien et notre affection.Grâce à l'engagement de tous, grâce à vous, nous tenons. Oui, notre émission tient.Fort de ses institutions, des emplois de ses chroniqueurs dans les services publics, fort de ses armées de cinéphages qui sont les plus efficaces d'Europe, par l'engagement de ses soldats du celluloïd. Fort de notre économie, où jamais autant de membres de cette émission n'ont eu un emploi. Fort de nos jeunes chercheurs prometteurs, de notre excellence académique, de nos initiatives diplomatiques aussi, en allant tendre la main à d'autres émissions.Mais au-delà de tout cela, nul n'est aveugle sur les désordres du monde et nos propres failles. Le monde du cinéma est plus dur chaque jour. La guerre des majors et des conglomérats et l'instabilité des plateformes continuent d'être là, avec des conséquences sur nos abonnements, nos sites de piratage. Nous assistons au retour des empires médiatiques, des trusts, à la remise en cause de l'ordre international, un monde de guerres commerciales, de compétition technologique, souvent d'instabilité.Je vois aussi nos propres divisions, au sein même de cette émission, nos tops en témoignent. La baisse de notre cinéphagie, l'insécurité filmique, les difficultés de pouvoir de temps de visionnage.Je sais toutes les impatiences, parfois les colères, qui continuent d'exister dans le pays et je partage plusieurs d'entre elles. Ces urgences exigent des réponses. Dès les premières semaines de l'année qui s'ouvre, le Politburo et le Comité Central auront à bâtir des accords pour doter l'émission d'un budget. C'est indispensable. Renforcer encore notre économie en simplifiant les règles pour nos pirates, comme pour nos légalistes. Continuer à reprendre le contrôle de nos films françaises et européens face à la chronologie des médias illégalement explosée, poursuivre la formation de nos intervenants cinéma et donner les moyens à école et apprentis au cinéma afin de mieux transmettre les savoirs fondamentaux, reconnaître les compétences de nos critiques en ville comme en région, en simplifiant leur exercice et en leur permettant de davantage décider et d'organiser leur activité. Pour tout cela, et j'aurais pu égrener ici tous les chantiers qui nous attendent, je sais les forces vives d'En Attendant Godard à la tâche et déterminé à être utile à la cinéphilie et je veux ce soir les en remercier sincèrement. Cela supposera aussi la mobilisation de chacun et les efforts de tous.Cette année doit donc être et sera une année utile.Je veillerai tout particulièrement à ce que plusieurs grands chantiers puissent aboutir. Nous verrons les premiers pas du service national pour l'engagement de nos jeunes, qui renforcera le lien entre nos armées et la nation. Nous protégerons nos enfants et nos adolescents des films de Desplechin et des marvel.Je serai, jusqu'à la dernière seconde, au travail, tâchant chaque jour d'être à la hauteur du mandat que vous ne m'avez pas confié, et je ferai tout pour que rien ne change, en restant particulièrement à l'abri de toute ingérence étrangère.Au-delà des chantiers à mener, je veux avoir, pour notre émission, trois vœux.D'abord, un vœu d'unité. Quels que soient les défis, notre histoire nous enseigne que nous pouvons tout relever, tout affronter, si nous savons rester unis. N'oublions donc jamais que nos raisons de vivre ensemble sont chaque jour plus fortes que ce qui peut nous diviser, que les flots des urgences, des faits divers ou des mauvaises nouvelles. Notre unité exige de reconnaître que chaque cinéphile, chaque cinéphage a un rôle à jouer pour relever les défis qui sont devant nous, que chacun d'entre nous est nécessaire et doit être encouragé et reconnu. Oui, dans notre vie de chaque jour, au fond, je nous souhaite plus de bienveillance et plus d'humanité.Mon deuxième vœu est un vœu de force, d'indépendance. Notre indépendance exige que nous continuions d'investir dans nos apéros, dans nos forces d'ébriété, dans nos comptoirs de proximité et notre économie malgré les difficultés financières. Depuis 10 ans, j'ai beaucoup plaidé et nous avons beaucoup fait pour renforcer en Rennais cette indépendance et il nous faut accélérer. Il en va de notre prospérité en France comme en Europe.Mon dernier vœu est un vœu d'espérance, espérance pour nous-mêmes et pour nos enfants, pour Zach, pour Maria, pour Elie, pour Simone, pour Katell, pour Vassili, pour Adam, pour Suzie, pour Senna, pour Louise, pour Ewan, pour Alix, pour Linon, pour Lucie et tous les autres.Ne renonçons pas. Ne renonçons pas au progrès filmologique, encore possible à condition de le bâtir, de travailler dur, d'investir dans la durée et de reconnaître que les avancées véritables ne se font pas en un jour, mais qu'elles prennent parfois le temps d'une génération.Ne renonçons pas à réconcilier cinéphilie, populaire, élitisme et mauvais goût. Ne renonçons jamais.Ne renonçons pas à la place de la salle de cinéma, du beau, de la culture. Ne renonçons pas chaque jour à être une émission plus solidaire, plus fraternelle. Oui, au fond, je nous souhaite de résister à l'air du temps, tout simplement, car nous sommes des Français la tête enfoncée dans nos culs de cinéphiles. Nous devons tenir bon sur ce que nous chérissons, le formalisme, la politique, la radicalité, les propositions de cinéma et les films de dispositifs. Nous y arriverons. Alors, regardons devant et regardons loin, comme spectateurs et comme cinéfils.Mes chers compatriotes, de France hexagonale, de nos colon… de nos Outre-mer et vivants à l'étranger, je vous souhaite une très belle, une très heureuse année 2026.Vive En Attendant Godard !

It’s official, KPop Demon Hunters’ sing-along screenings were a resounding success. The film about a KPop girl group who also hunt… well, you know… became an immediate global phenomenon via streaming on Netflix when it was released in June. Now that the desire for communal experiences has been made abundantly clear, what will this mean for the franchise going forward? Kim Masters and her partner in Banter Matt Belloni get into it. Plus, in an encore conversation from January, Masters speaks to The Brutalist co-writer & director Brady Corbet and co-writer Mona Fastvold. The pair talk about the seven-year battle to get their post war epic to the big screen. They also explain their audacious decision to make a three and a half hour film with an intermission, share thoughts on the state of the country, and Corbet reveals his thoughts about Trump’s plans to demolish brutalist federal buildings.  P.S. Expect to hear much more from Fastvold as the current awards season shapes up, her forthcoming, Amanda Seyfried-led film The Testament of Ann Lee is sure to be on everybody’s lips.

On episode 299 of the AwardsWatch Podcast, it's an all editors show as Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello look at the wealth of fall festival lineup announcements that came in this week from Venice and Toronto. In the pod, the trio start with Venice, which will be the kickoff of no less than three Netflix titles: Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, Noah Baumbach's Jay Kelly and the return of Kathryn Bigelow with A House of Dynamite. With a few other Netflix titles rolling around, we talk about the impact of these three titles starting off here and where else we'll see them this season. Yorgos Lanthimos' newest collab with Emma Stone, Bugonia, will also bow at Venice, leaving Focus Features' other top title Hamnet, rip for Telluride. Mona Fastvold, fresh off The Brutalist last year (with her partner Brady Corbet), has The Testament of Ann Lee with Amanda Seyfried, something has all of us buzzing. Then there's The Smashing Machine from Benny Safdie and starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt. We also dig into the Out of Competition titles, specifically Luca Guadagnino's After the Hunt, which has some internet folks thinking it means something more than it does. Onto TIFF, always the most helpful as specific designations are listed for each film, we talk about Rental Family starring Brendan Fraser, Sydney Sweeney in Christy and where the big Cannes winners from NEON and MUBI, like Sentimental Value, It Was Just an Accident, The Secret Agent, Sirāt and Sound of Falling landed. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 1h14m. We'll be back next week with an Oscar retrospective of the 63rd Academy Awards, covering the films of 1990. Till then, let's get into it.

Holly and critic Dave Moore (https://www.otherdavemoore.com) talk about the 2018 pop movie Vox Lux, directed by Brady Corbet (director of the Oscar-winning The Brutalist), and why its nihilistic interpretation of manufactured Millennial teenpop is incoherent, wrong, and - worst of all - boring.This is Part 1 - Part 2 will follow shortly.A full list of songs and audio clips used in the episode is available here: https://rentry.co/79vvk88cAll audio clips are used for the purposes of criticism.

Ben and Rob play ‘Funny Games', Michael Haneke's brutal shot-for-shot 2007 remake of his original home invasion masterpiece from ten years prior. Starring Naomi Watts, Michael Pitt, Tim Roth and Brady Corbet, ‘Funny Games' is a hauntingly cold movie about not only the holiday from hell, but of horror movies and why we watch them.But why did director Michael Haneke choose to remake almost exactly the same film he released ten years prior? Why do our villains keep breaking the fourth wall? Why do we enjoy such horrific films? And how does this all relate to Oscar darling ‘The Brutalist?!CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!PLUS!

Director of Photography Lol Crawley uses his unique perspective to discuss his Oscar-winning work on The Brutalist. A 10-year friendship, Crawley shares how his trusting relationship with Brady Corbet created a collaborative and creative environment on set, noting the importance of aligning with a director's vision rather than overpowering it. He dives deep into the artistic inspiration of the film, explaining how it was designed to feel like an archive with a patchwork quality, balancing historical accuracy with artistic interpretation. While using many different kinds of cameras made the shoot more complex, we learn how these risks contributed to the aesthetic and emotion of the film, earning Crawley the Oscar win. Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang.   The Academy Awards are Hollywood's grandest night—the moment when months of speculation, surprise wins, and snubs all culminate in one golden evening. And this year, the road to Oscar glory has been anything but predictable.   Was Anora's big night at the Critics Choice, DGA, and PGA the ultimate confirmation that it's the Best Picture frontrunner, or is there still room for a shocking upset? Will Sean Baker walk away with Best Director, or could someone else—maybe The Brutalist's Brady Corbet or Emilia Pérez's Jacques Audiard—steal the moment? And what about Wicked, which just had a stunning, completely unexpected win for Jon M. Chu at the Critics Choice Awards? Could the musical blockbuster actually shake up the race?   From underdog stories to behind-the-scenes drama, tonight, we're unpacking all the Oscar buzz with film critic Smithsonian Associate Noah Gittell. Noah Gittell will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up…please check out our show notes today for more details.

At 34, UK-based artist and composer Daniel Blumberg is the youngest person nominated for this year's Best Score at the Oscars. His work on The Brutalist, nominated for 10 Academy Awards, is a continuation and evolution of Brady Corbet's directorial talent — a longtime friend and collaborator. Daniel talks us through his formative experience at Cafe Oto in London — a hub for eccentric and inventive musical talents, which has also inspired Daniel's own highly reviewed solo albums. Daniel explains why he had to visit Italy himself to calibrate the echoes of a marble quarry, why he and Brady always envisioned the opening as a balance of tension and payoff, and why he left in raw recordings of musical “sketches” on purpose to help convey the endless pursuit of creative perfection the film depicts. Why the rising awards buzz around his unique score makes him nervous, and the unlikely (but true!) admiration for Wallace & Gromit.Interview by Kenny Holmes and Matt Schrader.

Brady Corbet spent years in front of the camera until he resigned from the job of actor. The new career he took up, that of filmmaker, has led to ten Oscar nominations for his newest movie The Brutalist. Brady talks with Marc about what made him devote eight years of his life to this epic exploration of the male ego. They also talk about the economics of being an independent filmmaker, the balance between being a collaborator and an auteur, and Brady's conflicted feelings about the creative process. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

[REBROADCAST FROM Dec. 17, 2024] The film "The Brutalist," which is nominated for 'Best Picture' at this year's Academy Awards, stars Adrien Brody as a celebrated architect who tries to build a new life in America after fleeing Europe following World War II.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 127 - Adrien Brody - Actor Actor Adrien Brody (THE BRUTALIST, SUMMER OF SAM, THE PIANIST) joins us in this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast. We worked with Adrien on THE VILLAGE, and it was great catching up with him. Early in our sprawling conversation about his career and his craft, we discuss what he learned as a young actor working with directors of great caliber—from Juan José Campanella (Season 2, Episode 80) to Spike Lee and Ken Loach—that led to his lauded performance in THE PIANIST. Later in our discussion of THE BRUTALIST, Adrien reflects on his collaboration with director Brady Corbet and shares what his first concern as a performer was when told the film would be shot on loud VistaVision cameras, and Adrien reveals the personal family history that informed his moving performance and shares how he and his fellow filmmakers pulled the film off with relatively limited resources. Towards the end our conversation, we also consider actors' and cinematographers' reliance on others to reach creative fulfillment, and we ask Adrien if he thinks it's possible to learn how to act. Plus, Adrien explains how to jury-rig a polaroid camera battery into a makeshift hand warmer. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure

Merry Christmas, everyone! This year, the Santifada is bringing you the same present as always: an episode about the themes of Jewish identity and antisemitism! We discuss Brady Corbet's new epic film, The Brutalist, starring Adrien Brody as a Bauhaus architect and Holocaust survivor trying to rebuild his life in the absurd New World of America.In the first half of the episode, our brutalism scholar guests, Ross and Susannah, explain what brutalism is and how it relates—or doesn't relate—to Brody's character, Laszlo Toth, and the themes of the movie in general.In the second half, available for subscribers at patreon.com/theantifada, we discuss the film's final chapter and epilogue, which features an infuriating, although perhaps excusable, political twist ending.Music for the episode is mostly from the brutalist soundtrack by Daniel Blumberg. Closing song is La Bionda - One For You, One For Me
