Podcast appearances and mentions of carrie cracknell

Website malfunctions have not kept Anna and Krista from reviewing Carrie Cracknell's production of Carmen, which just closed at the Met. Even though Anna wasn't able to spend the time in Horny Jail, Krista gives the rundown of the modern take on Bizet with a bit of a twist ending. Then they plunge into ramblings on the Royal Rumble, give a birthday shoutout to Ol' Slapnuts and revisit the tale of Victor Hugo: Mega-Manwhore.

**THIS EPISODE CONTAINS FULL SPOILERS** It's no secret that 2022's “Persuasion” (dir. Carrie Cracknell) was not kindly received…and we won't argue with the critics! Welcome to an absolute hate-fest of this zero-in-Bath, middle-finger-to-Jane-Austen drudge of a movie, seemingly written by a 13-year-old TikTok user. A very special guest host, Laura's best friend Alison Wood, joins us to discuss just how antithetical this movie is to the spirit of Austen's Regency story of lost love. #FilmisLitPod #FilmisLitpodcast #Persuasion #JaneAusten #Persuasion2022 #DakotaJohnson #CarrieCracknell #HenryGolding #RichardEGrant #Movieadaptation #Emma #CosmoJarvis #BookReview #MovieReview #Netflix #AlisonWood #MiaMcKennaBruce

Its that time of year to be depressed along with our favorite Jane Austen protagonists! We talk about the movie Persuasion (2021) on Netflix, the differences between adaptations, "based on", and "inspired by", when it comes to movies and their relation to retold stories, and the idea of "colorblind" casting!

Pour un coeur fidèle, huit années ne représentent rien... Ce mois-ci Victoire, Pascale, Jeanne et Marianne comparent le roman Persuasion de Jane Austen paru en 1817 à titre posthume à sa plus récente adaptation en film avec Dakota Johnson sortie sur Netflix. À 27 ans, Anne Elliot n'est toujours pas mariée. Cette jeune femme timide se morfond depuis qu'elle a repoussé la demande en mariage de Frederick Wenworth, un marin sans fortune dont elle était éprise, sur les conseils de sa famille et de son amie Lady Russell. Mais huit ans plus tard, Wenworth revient de la guerre, auréolé de titres et sa fortune désormais assurée. Mais il n'a jamais pardonné à Anne de s'être laissée persuader de ne pas l'épouser...  Le film est-il fidèle au roman dont il est tiré ? Réponse dans l'épisode ! 2 min 55 : On commence par parler du roman Persuasion écrit par Jane Austen et paru en 1817 44 min 08 : On enchaîne sur l'adaptation en film produite par Netflix et réalisée par Carrie Cracknell avec Dakota Johnson, Cosmo Jarvis et Henry Golding. 1 h 35 min 50 : On termine sur nos recommandations autour de Jane Austen et des histoires de seconde chance.

Gentle listeners, join us as we review the storm-tossed 2022 Netflix adaptation of Persuasion starring Dakota Johnson and Cosmo Jarvis and directed by Carrie Cracknell. Described as "Bridget Jones meets Bridgerton," this unconventional take on Austen's contemplative, autumnal source material certainly made some waves in the Austenverse. But if you can manage to forget about the source material for a few hours, this is a beautiful and highly entertaining movie to enjoy with a glass of wine or four. Join us as we process both our agony and our hope: despite some reservations, we genuinely enjoyed this movie (but I wish they hadn't messed with the letter-K). 

Apparently I'm one of the few people on the globe who enjoyed Netflix's Persuasion with Dakota Johnson :) I take a deep dive into this adaptation with Sarah Gamez, romance writer, filmmaker and host of Romancing the Story podcast. We chew over what the filmmakers got right and perhaps got wrong in this version. And I confess that pretty much any Jane Austen adaptation is a good adaptation for me as long as it's billed the right way.https://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.comSarah Gamez hosts the wonderful Romancing the Story: Writing Romance, Storytelling, and Business of Books podcast featuring interviews with authors and entrepreneurs discussing "storytelling structure, self-publishing must-haves, and developing narratives, while exploring different genres and medias as well as romance. After all, every story is a love story." Sarah is a marvelous interviewer and her wide-ranging discussions are fascinating.Tony-nominated British theater director Carrie Cracknell directed this version of Persuasion, and co-writer Ron Bass,  also wrote My Best Friend's Wedding and Entrapment as well as Rain Man. Both clearly know how to stage a witty, romantic, emotional story with real stakes. Netflix's Persuasion is a Work of Sneaky Genius. "For years, we Brits have peddled a superficial, Richard Curtis-esque version of ourselves in movie theaters across the pond in films like the Bridget Jones franchise, Love Actually, Notting Hill, and Four Weddings and a Funeral...The conceit was so effective that, really, it was only a matter of time before the Americans turned the game on its head and started serving Britishness back to us."BookDownload a free Persuasion e-book at Project GutenbergMovies/TV ShowsThe one and only Bridget Jones' DiaryAnd the one and only Phoebe Waller-Bridge, writer and star of FleabagAnd there is nothing like S1 of BridgertonOr the 1995 version of PersuasionOr the 2005 Pride and Prejudice!My, how I love me a Jane Austen adaptation.

We return to the works of Jane Austen this episode with her novel Persuasion, published in 1817, and the Netflix film adaptation which was directed by Carrie Cracknell. The novel is a reflection on loneliness, grief, and the rekindled passion, while the film takes a more... modern approach to the story; full of fourth-wall breaking and awkward humor. How does this adaptation hold up to the classic? Why does Anne have a rabbit? Did Mr. Elliot kill his wife? Listen and find out!

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing PERSUASION (2022), which is currently streaming on Netflix. The film, directed by Carrie Cracknell, from a script by Ron Bass and Alice Victoria Winslow, is the latest Jane Austen property to be adapted. The film, rated PG, follows Anne Elliott (Dakota Johnson), who eight years prior was persuaded to give up the love of her life, Frederick Wentworth (Cosmo Jarvis). In this version, Anne has spent the better part of those eight years crying, losing herself to drink and just being messy. I am still surly to have wasted 1 h and 47 m on this mess. Go over to Amazon Prime and check out FLEABAG instead but be warned it is absolutely deliciously naughty. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.

We are vibrating with excitement to talk about the new Netflix's adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion starring Dakota Johnson, Cosmo Jarvis, and Henry Golding. For those of you jonesing for a little Bridgerton-era love to tide you over until season 3, look no further! Similar to Austen adaptations like Mansfield Park (1999) and Emma (2009), director Carrie Cracknell delivers an amuse bouche of cinematic romantic comedies to breathe life into an otherwise over-tread storyline.

This week, we were going to take a break from Summerween to talk solely about Netflix's new Jane Austen adaptation, but instead we're bringing you the weirdest crossover known to man. It turns out Ti West's X and Carrie Cracknell's Persuasion have quite a lot in common. Join Cam as he brings Maggie along for a bizarre ride while meditating on love, the passage of time, maternal absence, and the consequences of seizing – and not seizing – the day. Both of these films pay beautiful homage to the forebearers of their respective subgenres (Jane Austen period pieces + 70s slashers), yet still appeal to a distinctly modern audience. Stream both of these movies for a truly funky and thought-provoking double feature. Feedback & Theories: secondbreakfastpod@gmail.com Instagram & TikTok: @secondbreakfastpod

Not one, not two, but three utterly joyous guests for you on this week's episode of Soundtracking, all of whom are interpreting the work of a couple of very different types of genius. First, we bring you Barney Douglas and Felix White, who have formed a doubles pairing extraordinaire on McEnroe, a documentary which Barney directed and Felix scored about the legendary tennis champ. It's Wimbledon meets Michael Mann's Heat, and they've absolutely aced it. Then we have a first-time movie director who's been wowing theatre audiences for years - the delightful Carrie Cracknell - on her Netflix adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion. 

The new film Persuasion based on Jane Austen's novel starring Dakota Johnson and directed by Carrie Cracknell has already attracted a lot of attention for its blend of 21st century millennial dialogue and Austen's own words. And Peter Morgan, writer of The Crown, returns to the stage for his new play Patriots which looks at the rise of the oligarchs in Russia, in particular Boris Berezovsky, played by Tom Hollander, helping to secure the rise of Putin, played by Will Keen. Guardian foreign correspondent Luke Harding and film critic Hanna Flint join Shahidha to review both. Durham's International Brass festival, which has been going for more than 20 years, is showcasing bands from as far afield as Cuba, Italy and Ghana. Among this year's high profile artists taking part are Mercury Prize and Brit Award nominees, a MOBO-winning CBBC star, and an avant garde rock band fronted by the Poet Laureate. The BBC's Sharuna Sagar went to Durham to see how this traditional style of music is being embraced by new generation of musicians and collaborators. We hear who has been named Art Fund Museum of the Year, and speak to the winner just minutes after it is announced.
