Podcast appearances and mentions of charles bramesco

Over the decades, David Cronenberg has carved a distinctive and provocative filmography out of his interest in human decay and death, up to and including his new THE SHROUDS, a late-career entry in the writer-director's body-horror canon. It's a film that left some of us confounded in a way that our returning guest, critic Charles Bramesco, might argue is part of its Cronenbergian appeal; but placing it next to THE FLY in Connections clarifies how much it's simply an evolution of the same pet themes Cronenberg has been circling since 1986 (and earlier), from overlapping obsessions with the mutability of bodies and technology, to the horror and guilt of watching a loved one deteriorate before our very eyes. And in Your Next Picture Show, we're inspired to talk over another recent, highly personal project from an elder-statesman auteur that received a mixed reception, and which we never got to cover on the show: Francis Ford Coppola's MEGALOPOLIS. Please share your thoughts about THE FLY, THE SHROUDS, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

The way David Cronenberg's new THE SHROUDS splices together unsettling ideas about technology and bodily transformation made us think of… well, a lot of his filmography, but the film's visceral interest in how the human body decays feels directly connected to the director's unlikeliest hit, his remake of THE FLY. We're joined this week by critic and our nascent “gross and scary” correspondent Charles Bramesco to teleport back to 1986 and examine what lies beneath the rotting flesh of THE FLY, from its tender central relationship to its oozing physical effects to its Howard Shore score, that makes it a distinctly Cronenbergian grossout. Then in Feedback, a listener uses our recent discussion of THE THIN MAN to broach a bigger question about what we value most in our mystery stories.  Please share your thoughts about THE FLY, THE SHROUDS, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Osgood Perkins' new LONGLEGS shares some clear narrative and thematic DNA with THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, but it's much more bizarre and divisive in its approach to horror-adjacent serial killer storytelling than Jonathan Demme's crowd-pleasing, Oscar-sweeping hit. We're joined again this week by critic and author Charles Bramesco to talk through the varying degrees to which we vibed with Perkins' style and Nicolas Cage's central performance, before bringing LONGLEGS' predecessor back into the conversation to compare the points of overlap and distinction between these two films about newbie female FBI agents, unconventional serial killers, and the traumatic backstories that drive them both. And in Your Next Picture Show we take stock of Oz Perkins' small but already idiosyncratic directorial filmography to date.  Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, LONGLEGS,  or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

There's no doubt that director Osgood Perkins had Jonathan Demme's THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS in mind when he made the new LONGLEGS, but there are as many fascinating contrasts as there are comparisons between these two films about inexperienced female FBI agents and seasoned serial killers. But before getting into those next episode, this week we're joined by critic and author Charles Bramesco for an in-depth revisitation of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS that digs into how the “Demme Touch” elevated a potentially lurid procedural to an Oscar-sweeping sensation, why its artful exploration of trauma inspired a legion of imitators, and how its sidestepping of trans identity plays in an era that's much more attuned to that conversation. And in Feedback, a listener deconstructs a couple of our recent pairings and reconstructs them as inversions of the same story.  Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, LONGLEGS,  or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Unwatchables welcomes author and film/TV critic Charles Bramesco to discuss one of the most intimidating of all cinematic rites of passage. Bela Tarr's SATANTANGO is 7 hours and 20 minutes long, and at least one of our hosts endured the entire film in one butt-numbing sitting. And lest you think that 7+ hours flies by, it's also a quintessential example of slow cinema at its bleakest and most punishing. We discuss the nature of “endurance cinema,” how best to endure this particular example, and the scene that Marc found to be the hardest to watch in all of Unwatchables history. You can find Charles' book, COLORS OF FILM, at https://www.quarto.com/books/9780711279384/Colors-of-Film Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.

Film critic and author Charles Bramesco had to look at movies in a new and different way while researching and writing his new book, "Colors of Film: The Story of Cinema in 50 Palettes" (out this week) which examines filmmaking through the prism of color. And one of his favorite eras, for that book and as a film lover in general, is the 1970s - so he selected 1971, a year in which the movies were smart, daring, experimental, and (at least in his top five) extremely horny. Plus, hear about the best single release week of the year (maybe the decade), when two all-timers hit theaters one day apart!

Charles Bramesco is a writer living in Brooklyn, New York. His work has appeared in Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, The Guardian and many. many others. Taking you from the earliest feature films to today, Colours of Film introduces 50 iconic movies and explains the pivotal role that colour played in their success.The use of colour is an essential part of film. It has the power to evoke powerful emotions, provide subtle psychological symbolism and act as a narrative device.Wes Anderson's pastels and muted tones are aesthetically pleasing, but his careful use of colour also acts as a shorthand for interpreting emotion. And let's not forget Schindler's List (1993, dir. Steven Spielberg), in which a bold flash of red against an otherwise black-and-white film is used as a powerful symbol of life, survival and death.In Colours of Film, film critic Charles Bramesco introduces an element of cinema that is often overlooked, yet has been used in extraordinary ways. Using infographic colour palettes, and stills from the movies, this is a lively and fresh approach to film for cinema-goers and colour lovers alike.He also explores in fascinating detail how the development of technologies have shaped the course of modern cinema, from how the feud between Kodak and Fujifilm shaped the colour palettes of the 20th Century's greatest filmakers, to how the advent of computer technology is creating a digital wonderland for modern directors in which anything is possible.​Filled with sparkling insights and fascinating accounts from the history of cinema, Colours of Film is an indispensable guide to one of the most important visual elements in the medium of film.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/writers-on-film.

This week on the Deep Focus podcast we have the great and legendary Abel Ferrara, the director of “The Bad Lieutenant,” “The Addiction,” “The King Of New York,” and his most recent film, “Siberia” with Willem Dafoe. The 69-year-old director is a quintessential New York filmmaker, but he left the U.S. for Italy almost 20 years ago. In this career-spanning conversation, Ferrara talks about his early films, his New York days, working with Dennis Hopper, and there's a hilarious little bit about “The King of New York” and Quentin Tarantino, and lol, Ferrara remains totally unphased. The iconoclastic filmmaker also talks about getting sober, his underseen "Mary" film with Juliette Binoche playing Mary Magdalene, and his upcoming film “Zeros and Ones” which sounds trippy and stars Ethan Hawke. Ferrara's latest, "Siberia," a hypnotic thriller is available now in limited release, Blu-Ray/DVD, and all places where you can rent films digitally.

Friend of the show Charles Bramesco returns to talk COUNTDOWN, now in theaters, and RATTLESNAKE, now on Netflix!

With the Cannes Film Festival in full swing, Michael Leader is joined by Little White Lies’ US correspondent Charles Bramesco to round up the best of the action on day two. In the main competition there’s the bizarre and bloody Bacarau from Brazilian directing pair Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles, and over in the Directors’ Fortnight sidebar, Jean Dujardin dons the jacket of his dreams in Quentin Dupieux’s agreeably psychotic Deerskin.

There’s a distinctly gothic flavour to this week’s Truth & Movies, as we check in with Tim Burton’s live-action Dumbo remake before setting a course to Norway circa the early 1990s, where there’s all kinds of devilry afoot in Jonas Åkerlund’s black metal biopic Lords of Chaos. Michael Leader, Adam Woodward and – making his T&M debut – Charles Bramesco are on hand to offer their thoughts on those, and there’s a welcome return to Burton’s retro-camp alien invasion caper, Mars Attacks!, for Film Club.

Hey, friends! Happy 2019, and welcome to another year of Mousterpiece Cinema! We're kicking off the new year by commemorating the 25th anniversary of a film that opened on the first Friday in January to almost entirely harsh, very negative reviews. But is it possible that this film was unfairly maligned by critics back in early 1994? The film in question is the cult comedy Cabin Boy, starring Chris Elliott as one of the infamous fancy lads who has to go on a unique quest to become a man, encountering talk-show hosts who sell monkeys, six-armed women, giants, iceberg monsters, and, of course, Andy Richter. Scott and Josh are joined by friend of the show Charles Bramesco for the first episode of the new year to talk about whether or not this film is as good as its cult reputation suggests, if critics had it right the first time, deepfakes, and, of course, a healthy amount of U Talkin' U2 To Me? references. Check out the new show now!

This episode of Nathan Rabin's Happy Cast is exclusively for the kiddies, as we bring on pop culture wunderkind and friend of the show Charles Bramesco (The Guardian, Vulture, et al.) to talk about the many efforts of films both Pixar and Pixar-adjacent! First, we squeeze into some tight spandex and discuss the surprising joys of Incredibles 2; then, we curl into a collective ball and weep at the masterful Inside Out. After that we get a little more downbeat, with a curious look at the what-if-planes-had-sex-and-fought-fires movie Planes: Fire and Rescue, and a sobering discussion on the ways we grieve for famous people who've taken their own lives online.

We continue our examination of stop-motion animals conspiring to escape captivity by bringing in ISLE OF DOGS, Wes Anderson’s new Japan-set homage/provocation, to see how it stacks up against Aardman Animations’ 2000 feature CHICKEN RUN. After weighing the controversy that’s arisen around ISLE OF DOGS against our own reactions to the film, we dig into what unites these two tonally distinct features, from their deployment of cinematic reference points to their ideas about human/animal interaction to their respective death machines. Plus, Your Next Picture Show, where we share recent filmgoing experiences in hopes of putting something new on your cinematic radar.

On this week's New Flesh, Charles Bramesco joins to talk about HELLRAISER: JUDGMENT, which you definitely should or shouldn't watch, depending on who you ask. Joe sits this most of this one out, but calls in at the end to detail why he disagrees with Brett & Charles big time. HELLRAISER talk starts at 39 minutes

Hey, friends! It's time for another episode of Mousterpiece Cinema in which Josh and Scott go back and revisit a title that was already discussed on the podcast. This time, they're going back to a movie that Josh talked about in 2012, the 1940 animated classic Fantasia. They're joined on the new show by Charles Bramesco of Vulture, The Guardian, and the New York Times, to talk all things Fantasia, from the film's ambition to its animation style, Deems Taylor, and yes, the problematic elements of the "Pastoral Symphony" sequence. Has Josh's take on the film changed in 6 years? Is he once again the most critical of the film? Does it even matter to be critical of a film as remarkably daring as this one? Find out now!

We're joined by New York-based film critic and pal Charles Bramesco (Bright Wall/Dark Room, Nylon, Rolling Stone) to chat about the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. We discuss Call Me By Your Name, Let the Corpses Tan, The Disaster Artist, Vampire Clay, Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, The Death of Stalin, and others.

On this week's New Flesh, Joe is out of town! Brett is joined by Emma Stefansky (@stefabsky) and Esther Zuckerman (@ezwrites)to discuss the immediately polarizing "mother!" from Darren Aronofsky. Jordan Hoffman (@jhoffman) and frequent New Flesh guest Charles Bramesco (@intothecrevasse) also join the show. Before they get into that, Esther discusses a few films she saw at TIFF, including THE DISASTER ARTIST, and Brett obligatorily discusses the big HALLOWEEN franchise news. The full "mother!" conversation starts at 20 minutes, but we do mention some details beforehand. This is a spoiler heavy conversation and should only be listened to after seeing the movie. You've been warned!

Joe & Brett welcome back frequent New Flesh collaborator Charles Bramesco to discuss Adam Wingard's latest film DEATH NOTE, which is now available on Netflix. Before that, we pay our respects to Tobe Hooper. We will talk more about his films next week. Brett also briefly touches on MEMORIES OF A MURDER, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13, MARJORIE PRIME and LEMON. Tobe Hooper: 1:08:45 Death Note: 1:22:30

On this week's Joe Avella-less New Flesh, Brett and past guest Charles Bremasco get right down to business to talk 3 new genre flicks that couldn't be more different — SHUT IN, THE LOVE WITCH & Paul Verhoeven's ELLE. Before the show, enjoy a message from The Love Witch herself, and heed her warning the next time you're at the cinema! SPOILER ALERT: Don't listen to the last section if you plan on seeing SHUT IN for yourself, as it gets spoiled. It is a terrible movie.
