It's the end of the world as we know it, and we feel fine. This week we're talking the Christmas-set 2021 British horror comedy Silent Night.  When the Earth spits up a toxic gas that promises to wipe out humanity, a posh family and their closest friends and loved one gather at the family manor for one last holiday party before taking their suicide pills. Hijinks are sure to ensue, right? We were mixed on whether the comedy landed, but had a spirited discussion on the themes of class, privilege, and trust in institutions and institutional expertise that director Camille Griffin raises. Filmed just before the pandemic lockdowns went into effect, and released just as the world started to emerge into a weary "new normal" it's impossible to not view this one through the lens of COVID, and that comes up here as well. 

Detrás de la aparente sofisticación de muchas objeciones a la fe cristiana, lo que hay a menudo es algo tan simple como que esto es un rollo. Digas lo que digas, a la mayoría no le interesa, porque es un aburrimiento. La imagen que Jesús utiliza por eso, más habitualmente para presentar su Reino es la de una gran Fiesta, que no tiene fin. Antes de narrar Marcos la última cena de Jesús con sus discípulos (14:12-25), muestra el contraste entre la extrema declaración de amor de esa mujer que derrama su perfume más preciado sobre la cabeza de Aquel que buscan prender con engaño y matarle, ante el escándalo de los que piensan que se podría haber dado el dinero a los pobres (vv. 1-9). Treinta años después de "El amor después del amor" (1992), el argentino Fito Páez ha vuelto a grabar las canciones de aquel disco, que presenta ahora en conciertos, a la vez que ha publicado sus memorias y Netflix ha hecho una serie sobre ellas. Escuchamos la versión original del descubrimiento del "perfume que lleva al dolor", puesto que "en la esencia de las almas / dice toda religión", que para él es "el amor después del amor". El mundo hispano conoció la canción de Randy Stonehill, "I Love You", en la versión doblada al lenguaje español latino en 1983 de la película de que hizo Billy Graham para conectar con la Revolución por Jesús, "Hora de huir" (1972). Randy la grabó después de que se convirtiera y dejara la droga en la casa de Larry Norman en Hollywood, como parte del álbum que hizo con él, "Nacido dos veces" (1971). La oímos en la versión que hizo Larry al final de su trilogía en "In Another Land" (1976). La traición de Judas (vv. 10-11) nos hace preguntarnos con la canción del músico, escritor y anticuario de Liverpool, Julian Cope, en La Lágrima Estalla (The Teardrop Explodes), si la "Traición, ¿es sólo una historia?" (1980), uno de nuestros muchos cambios en la vida. La película "Silent Night" (2021) lleva el título del famoso cántico de Navidad austriaco, "Noche de Paz", pero la directora británica Camille Griffin nos muestra algo más que una comida festiva, la Última Cena. Ya que este grupo de viejos amigos que se reúne en una idílica casa de campo inglesa se enfrenta al apocalipsis de la destrucción de la humanidad, esa misma noche con supuesta tranquilidad. Escuchamos los diálogos de los personajes que interpretan actores como Mathew Goode o Keira Knightley en la primera media de hora del film, sin revelar lo que ocurre a continuación. José de Segovia comenta la situación y su relación con la Cena del Evangelio, sobre la música de la banda sonora original de Lorne Balfe. John Michael Talbot se crio en una familia metodista de Oklahoma. Tocaba la guitarra con su hermano en un grupo de country-rock desde la adolescencia. Se interesa por la religión nativa americana y el budismo hasta su conversión a Cristo con la Gente de Jesús. Graba dos discos con su hermano Terrry, hasta hacerse franciscano en 1978, que hace un disco sobre "La Cena del Señor" (1979). Tras llegar también a la fe evangélica, el cantante de "La víspera de la destrucción" (1965). Barry McGuire sólo graba temas inspirados por el cristianismo que conoce en 1971 por el evangelista Arthur Blessit, que llevaba una misión entre "hippies" en el bulevar de Sunset y llegó a visitar España con una cruz a cuestas. Una de las más cantadas en iglesias es su "Canción de comunión" (1979), que se conoce también como "Toma este pan". El tema final de nuestra parada en esta Ruta de nuestro viaje por la vida a la luz de los 66 libros de la Biblia es también de un cantautor que ha entrado en el ministerio eclesial, pero anglicano y entre palestinos. José de Segovia le conoció cuando trabajaba con Cliff Richard a finales de los años 70 y organizó un concierto suyo en su antiguo colegio en Madrid. José cuenta en este programa cómo recordará siempre la canción "Qué vivas para bailar sobre tu tumba" (1978), cantada por Garth con veinte mil personas bailando en el culto que dirigió un domingo por la mañana que fue al festival de Greenbelt en el castillo de Ashby (Inglaterra) en 1985 y fue transmitido por la BBC.

Esta es una película dirigida por Camille Griffin que nos muestra lo que pasa en una última reunión entre amigos y familia que se encuentran por última vez para festejar por última vez la navidad pero detrás de todo esto, hay algo aterrador y horrible que los amenaza y que lentamente se acerca hacia ellos…

Today on the show we have Oscar® and two-time Emmy® Nominee Simon Kinberg. He has established himself as one of Hollywood's most prolific filmmakers, having written and produced projects for some of the most successful franchises in the modern era. His films have earned more than seven billion dollars worldwide.  Kinberg graduated from Brown University and received his MFA from Columbia University Film School, where his thesis project was the original script, “Mr and Mrs Smith.” The film was released in 2005, starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Upcoming, Kinberg will premiere his action spy film “The 355”, which will be released theatrically by Universal on January 7, 2022.

¿Qué hacés acá? ¿Viniste a que te digamos que es viernes y que es el día que sale Hoy Trasnoche? Bueno, ahí tenés. Esta semana, la verdad, una cantidad de coyuntura que casi que no nos entró la película, incluyendo a Paul Thomas Anderson diciendo no sé qué de los superhéroes —pero medio a favor, así que CANCELADO—, la propia CANCELACIÓN de la película de PTA porque parece que es racista y no sabemos qué cosa del age gap, el regreso de Nicolas Cage con ¿la película definitiva de su carrera?, Keanu Reeves vestido de Dolly Parton y Ben Affleck tratando de hilar una frase coherente sobre el estado de las cosas que termina pareciendo el meme de "o sea sí, pero no." No contentos con todo esto, vimos una película: Silent Night de Camille Griffin. A Flor le pareció mejor que Los cuatrocientos golpes y a Calu no. Y la verdad que veníamos pisteando como dos campeones pero nos quedó medio larguirucho así que va a ser otra semana Kennedyless. Mejor que te enteres acá y no cuando llegues al final.

This week we sit down with writer/director Camille Griffin to talk about her debut feature film, the darkly comedic satire of British Christmas films Silent Night. The film is currently streaming on VOD and if you enjoy your dark comedic pitch black, you don't want to miss the film. After we talk about her horror history and how she didn't plan on making a horror film with Silent Night, we then talk about the film that scarred her as a kid. When the Wind Blows is an animated movie about nuclear holocaust, if that gives you any indication of what's to come. The film is playing on Tubi (in the states) and is highly recommended by us...but hoo boy is it bleak AF. We talk about the era of nuclear proliferation films, the cheeky way Severin Films marketed their re-release of the film, the surprising connection between this film and Camille's debut feature and so much more.Follow Camille on Twitter.

Megan's on vacation (and we miss her), so we invite a very special guest to join us this week: former Spoilerpiece co-host Kris Jenson! We're excited to have Kris back for an episode, but feel bad about the movies we made him watch. At least we have some great discussions about them! First up is Michael Pearce's muddled sci-fi film ENCOUNTER (4:26), starring Riz Ahmed as a father trying to protect his two sons from an alien invasion. Then we cover Camille Griffin's uneven mix of sci-fi and dark comedy, SILENT NIGHT (31:17), which is about old friends who get together on Christmas as one last hurrah before their imminent demise. And on this week's Patreon exclusive audio, we talk with Kris about Paul Verhoeven's 1990 sci-fi action film TOTAL RECALL, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Camille Griffin is a writer, director, and co-producer. She has written and directed seven short films that screened at over 20 international film festivals and makes her feature film directorial debut with Silent Night. In this episode, Hooman and Chris dive deep into Silent Night and how it parodies Camille's own life. Camille brings an intentional political incorrectness to the film in order to expose how the privileged get away with a lot in society... and perhaps even more behind closed doors. The film shows the microaggressions present in everyday life without the need to walk on eggshells. In fact, no one walks on eggshells in the film; it's the end of the world!Silent Night is a Comedy/Horror starring Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Roman Griffin Davis, Annabelle Wallis, and Lily-Rose Depp. In true British fashion, (while the rest of the world faces impending doom), a group of old friends reunite to celebrate Christmas in the comfort of an idyllic country home. Burdened with the inconvenience of mankind's imminent destruction, they adopt a stiff upper lip, crack open another bottle of prosecco and continue with their festivities. But no amount of stoicism can replace the courage needed for their last night on earth.SILENT NIGHT is available in theaters and AMC+ on December 3rd.Now playing on Fandor is Rolling Stone: Life And Death Of Brian Jones(2019).

On this episode of Why Watch That:Featuring reviews of the following films at 2021's Toronto International Film Festival:SundownTim Roth stars in writer-director Michel Franco's chilling drama about a wealthy Briton attempting to abandon his life while vacationing in Acapulco.From the outside, it would appear that Neil Bennett (Tim Roth, also at the Festival with Bergman Island), a wealthy Briton vacationing with loved ones at a luxury resort in Acapulco, wants for nothing. Until, that is, a single phone call shatters Neil's idyll: there's been a death in the family, and he, his sister Allison (Charlotte Gainsbourg), and the kids must return to London immediately.At the airport, just before their flight is to depart, Neil pretends to have forgotten his passport at the resort. He insists the others go ahead; he'll catch the next flight. Instead, Neil checks into a budget hotel, drinks beer at the beach, meets a beautiful local named Berenice (Iazua Larios), and begins concocting reasons to delay his return home. What is Neil up to? How long can he linger abroad while his family grieves and contends with legal matters? And what if things go from bad to worse?The story of writer-director Michel Franco's Sundown seems simple, but its twists are riveting and its mysteries rich. As with Franco's Un Certain Regard–winning After Lucia or his TIFF selections April's Daughter and New Order, Sundown is an incisive study of class disparity and familial strife. Roth, who worked with Franco previously on Chronic, is brilliantly cast as the film's enigmatic antihero. His performance is one of immense containment, hinting incrementally at the profound ennui driving Neil to attempt to abandon his enviable life. There is something almost palpably haunted about Neil, and, as he makes his way along this strange journey, his desperate longing will resonate more than you'd expect. -DIANA SANCHEZMexico, 2021Spanish, English84 minutesDirectorMichel FrancoCastTim Roth, Iazua Larios, Charlotte GainsbourgScreenplayMichel Franco7 Prisoners (on Netflix this November)Alexandre Moratto's sophomore film follows a young man who compromises his own sense of friendship and community to survive in an extreme situation.After the TIFF Next Wave Film Festival selection Socrates, director Alexandre Moratto and producer Fernando Meirelles return to TIFF with a compelling tale of modern-day indentured slavery in Brazil.7 Prisoners follows a group of honest men from the countryside who think they are going to São Paulo for work but end up locked in a junkyard, where they are told they must work to pay off steep debts. The place functions like a prison; they are surveilled at gunpoint and their loved ones are threatened. One of the men, Mateus, tries to make a deal with the owner, Luca, saying he can increase productivity if Luca agrees to release them in six months. But it's a slippery slope, and Mateus becomes the boss's assistant in order to get ahead.The heartbreaking story reflects on systemic oppression and corruption, and on how a person can compromise their own sense of friendship and community to survive in an extreme situation. It also depicts the smuggling and cruel exploitation of migrant workers. There are no winners here, as we discover that dire circumstances can make people alternately endearing and naive, or capable of physical and psychological violence. With a thriller touch and stellar performances by Rodrigo Santoro and Christian Malheiros, the film transcends the facile binary of good versus bad to create a sense of urgency about some of the world's most blatant injustices. -DESCRIPTION COURTESY OF TIFFCONTEMPORARY WORLD CINEMABrazil, 2021Portuguese93 minutesDirectorAlexandre MorattoCastChristian Malheiros, Rodrigo Santoro, Bruno Rocha, Vitor Julian, Lucas Oranmian, Cecília Homem de Mello, Dirce ThomazScreenplayThayná Mantesso, Alexandre MorattoPublicistNetflixI'm Your Man (Bleecker Street will release on Friday, September 24)Maria Schrader's unlikely sci-fi rom-com explores human relationships through the inquisitive eyes of a cyborg. Starring Dan Stevens and Maren Eggert.How would you react if the perfect partner were created for you — designed to respond to your every conscious or unconscious need? For scientist Alma Felser (Maren Eggert), the reaction is instant skepticism. She is reluctant when offered a job evaluating a new line of humanoid cyborgs to determine what rights they should be granted in society. She believes it takes more than millions of data points collected from the human population to make a human being. But when research funding for her cuneiform studies at Berlin's Pergamon Museum is dangled, Alma agrees to a three-week trial with Tom (Dan Stevens), an English-accented, rumba-dancing robot who is relentlessly eager to serve one purpose: her happiness.Writer-director Maria Schrader's I'm Your Man playfully interrogates the complexities of companionship and human interactions, as reflected back in the steely gaze of a replicant. Emotions and ego are explored through a full range of relationships: romantic, familial, professional, and, most importantly, the relationship with one's self.Schrader's profound understanding of, and respect for, our internal contradictions is manifested in the relatable Alma. Conveyed with remarkable authenticity by Eggert in her Berlin Silver Bear–winning performance, the scientist's reluctant feelings about cyborg Tom evolve ever so lightly into intimacy, in spite of his direct if perfectly charming advances (powered by the bionically good-looking Stevens of Downton Abbey fame — impressive in an entirely German-language role). It must be said: there aren't many entrants in the sci-fi rom-com subgenre that wholly reflect the human condition. I'm Your Man stands apart as exemplary. -DIANA SANCHEZSPECIAL PRESENTATIONSGermany, 2021German108 minutesDirectorMaria SchraderCastMaren Eggert, Dan Stevens, Sandra Hüller, Hans Löw, Wolfgang Hübsch, Annika MeierScreenplayJan Schomburg, Maria SchraderPublicistBleecker StreetThe Good HouseSigourney Weaver and Kevin Kline play ex-flames who rekindle their romance, in this drama from directors Maya Forbes and Wallace Wolodarsky.“I need a good year.” When Hildy (Sigourney Weaver) makes that pronouncement, she's talking about her sales prospects as a realtor. But there's also an unspoken acknowledgement that her best years just might be behind her. Bold, brash, and practiced in the ways of her affluent New England town, Hildy's barely controlled chaos is a bit too familiar to her friends and family. So is its fuel: booze.Veteran screenwriters Maya Forbes (who also directed Infinitely Polar Bear) and Wallace Wolodarsky adapt and direct Ann Leary's novel as a piercing observation of a woman capable of great charm, but always ready to sabotage her own success when the mood descends. Seeing the risk escalate, her family stages an intervention. It goes about as well as expected.Weaver is a pure pleasure to watch here, perfectly pitching Hildy's captivating side as well as her more vicious moments. A woman who proudly notes that her family has lived in Wendover for almost 300 years, she carries herself with regal bearing, ready to adopt new arrival Rebecca (Morena Baccarin) as a prize. But Hildy's mass of hurts and insecurities are never far from the surface. The only person who seems to see her fully is Frank (Kevin Kline, also appearing in TIFF selection The Starling), a grizzled old flame who earned his wealth with his own hands and may now be ready to take Hildy into his arms again. Wisely, Forbes and Wolodarsky allow us to bask in the bright glow of these two old pros at work. -DESCRIPTION COURTESY OF TIFFGALA PRESENTATIONSUnited States of America, 2021English114 minutesDirectorsMaya Forbes, Wallace WolodarskyCastSigourney Weaver, Kevin Kline, Morena BaccarinScreenplayThomas Bezucha, Maya Forbes, Wallace WolodarskySilent Night (in theaters and on AMC+ December 3, 2021)Keira Knightley and Lily-Rose Depp star in Camille Griffin's feature directorial debut, about a family's eventful Christmas dinner in the country.A cozy house in the English countryside. The tree has been lovingly decorated. A grand feast is being prepared. Over the sound system, Michael Bublé croons about holiday sweaters. Nell (Oscar nominee Keira Knightley), Simon (Matthew Goode), and their boy Art (Roman Griffin Davis, star of TIFF '19 Grolsch People's Choice Award winner Jojo Rabbit) are ready to welcome friends and family for what promises to be a perfect Christmas gathering. Perfect except for one thing: everyone is going to die.A pitch-black comedy rooted in brilliantly conceived characters and wry observations about class and social order, writer-director Camille Griffin's feature debut merges that most wonderful night of the year with the end of the world as we know it. A poisonous cloud is descending upon the United Kingdom. An extinction event is imminent. YouTube videos display images of people bleeding from the eyes and ears. And yet, even in this hour of ultimate dread, happy announcements are made, disagreements erupt, people dance, and ordinary foibles ensue.Echoing elements of Last Night and Peter's Friends, Silent Night fuses festive frivolity with existential angst for high entertainment. Gleaning lovingly textured, frequently hilarious performances from its stellar ensemble cast — which also includes Annabelle Wallis, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, and Lily-Rose Depp (also at the Festival in Wolf) — Silent Night gives us reasons to toast the human spirit… even when the end is nigh. -DESCRIPTION COURTESY OF TIFFGALA PRESENTATIONSUnited Kingdom, 2021English90 minutesDirectorCamille GriffinCastKeira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Roman Griffin Davis, Annabelle Wallis, Lily-Rose Depp, Sope Dirisu, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Lucy PunchScreenplayCamille GriffinOne Second (will be distributed by Neon at some point)Master director Zhang Yimou returns with his love letter to cinema in which a man escapes a labour camp for a glimpse of his beloved daughter.China's Zhang Yimou is a giant of international cinema. His many films, including Raise the Red Lantern, House of Flying Daggers, and Shadow have cemented his place in history. With One Second, he offers a powerful reminder of why film matters. A touching drama set against striking desert landscapes and marked by Zhang's characteristic flashes of humour, this is a fable about how cinema can inspire us.Towards the end of the Cultural Revolution, when movies were one of the few cultural experiences available to China's masses, the film's nameless hero (Zhang Yi) is sent to a remote labour camp for taking part in a fight. He escapes, but instead of returning to crime, his one aim is to see a screening of a newsreel where his daughter has been captured briefly on screen, immortalized as a model student and worker.In this journey towards a fleeting, cinematic reunion with his beloved daughter, his unexpected companions include a scruffy orphan girl named Liu (Liu Haocun) — pursuing her own secret search for celluloid — and Fan (Fan Wei), who goes by Mr. Movie and is widely known as the best projectionist around. In one standout sequence, a reel of film has been damaged in the mud and Fan recruits an entire village to clean the long, precious spool and restore it to its former glory.One Second marks Zhang's return to the classic, grand storytelling of his early films. He draws on the specific customs of moviegoing from China in the 1970s to craft an enduring, universal celebration of the transformative power of film. -DESCRIPTION COURTESY OF TIFFGALA PRESENTATIONSChina, 2020Mandarin105 minutesDirectorZhang YimouCastFan Wei, Liu Haocun, Zhang YiScreenplayZhang Yimou, Zou JingzhiPublicistNEON See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
