This week, we're taking a trip to 1950s Italy as we discuss Patricia Highsmith's classic thriller The Talented Mr. Ripley and its acclaimed 1999 adaptation directed by Anthony Minghella. Topics of discussion include the novel's iconic con artist protagonist, the twisty plot, homoerotic subtext, and how Minghella put his own spin on the themes and characters.

Muziek bij de film Scrapper, komedie uit het Verenigd Koninkrijk 2023 van Charlotte Regan. Prijswinnende film op het Sundance filmfestival. Over de 12-jarige Georgie, de debuutrol van Lola Campbell. Ze staat er alleen voor na de dood van haar moeder. De buitenwereld denkt dat ze samenleeft met haar oom, maar in werkelijkheid dopt ze haar eigen boontjes. In de kleurrijke Londense achterbuurt waar Georgie woont trekt ze op met klasgenootje Ali (Alin Uzun), met wie ze fietsen steelt en die dan weer doorverkoopt. Maar dan staat plots haar van haar vervreemde vader op de stoep (een geblondeerde Harris Dickinson, goed als altijd) en moet Georgie wel stilstaan bij de dood van haar moeder. Charmant en liefdevol debuut van de Engelse Charlotte Regan. Droevig en grappig tegelijkertijd en met knap acteerwerk. Patrick Jonsson is componist van filmmuziek die veelal orkestklanken en elektronica met elkaar combineert. Hij zegt zelf over deze soundtrack onder meer dit: "Om te werken met regisseur Charlotte Regan was geweldig, want ze is heel open en eerlijk, ze weet wat ze wil, maar ze laat ook veel ruimte voor onderzoek en experiment. Ik heb al vaker met haar gewerkt voor korte films, en nu dus deze lange speelfilm. Wat we wilden bereiken is dat de muziek klinkt als vanuit het perspectief van de hoofdpersoon, de 12-jarige Georgie. Zo gebruik ik bijvoorbeeld veel metaal-achtige klanken in de muziek, verwijzend naar de enorme berg oud ijzer die Georgie construeert - als een overdrachtelijke verwerking van haar verdriet. Die klanken kon ik opnemen met slagwerker Paul Clarvis die een enorme voorraad vreemde metalen slagwerkinstrumenten had meegenomen. En die geluiden zitten dus allemaal in de score. Maar ik wilde ook de storm aan emoties van de hoofdpersoon laten doorklinken. Met koperblazers en houtblazers, versterkt via gitaarversterkers zodat je een rauw geluid krijgt, en zodat het als het ware boos gaat klinken." Aldus Patrick Jonsson, de componist van de muziek bij de film Scrapper.

Today on Script Apart, we're heading to Malia with Molly Manning Walker, writer-director of How To Have Sex. Since wowing audiences at Cannes last summer, the sun-sea-and-consent drama has proved a box office hit, been hailed as one of the strongest feature debuts by a British filmmaker in recent year and sparked long-overdue, nuanced conversations about the attitudes towards sex that young people inherit. The film tells the tale of Tara, a sixteen-year-old played by Mia McKenna-Bruce, on a rite-of-passage summer holiday blowout with friends while she awaits school exam results. What begins as a sun-soaked adventure, full of borrowed hair straighteners, karaoke and bright-blue-coloured cocktails, soon becomes something bleaker when the girls meet a group of lads in the holiday rental apartment opposite them. Amid the thumping music and blinding lights of Malia's club scene, a taboo-shattering expose of everything wrong with the way teenagers are encouraged to view sex unfolds – and it's absolutely heartbreaking.Molly wrote the film while revisiting memories of going on a number of clubbing holidays herself between sixteen and eighteen, and realising what little room there was for discussion about the pressuring sexual elements of those trips and the harrowing experiences they can result in. When she was the victim of a sexual assault at age sixteen, she remembers “wanting to talk about it. But I'd walk into rooms and it would suck the air out of the room. How are people supposed to move on if no one's allowed to talk about it?” How To Have Sex is a movie that does to talk about it – and does so movingly without ever lurching into lecturing or sentimentality.In the spoiler-filled interview you're about to hear, Molly break down key scenes from the film, including the heart-wrenching final exchange in the airport between Tara and Skye – what isn't being said in that moment, and why. We talk about what she's learned about how global the problems depicted in How To Have Sex are by the response to film beyond Britain – and how working on this film at the same time as Scrapper, Charlotte Regan's brilliant surrealist comedy set out on a UK council estate – taught her about the necessity of female coming-of-age stories.

We recently had Charlotte Regan on the podcast to discuss her brilliant debut feature, Scrapper, and we're following up on that episode with her composer Patrick Jonsson. Scrapper tells the story of 12-year-old Georgie and her estranged father Jason, who comes into her life for the first time after her mother dies. Told very much from Georgie's perspective, the music had to communicate her innocence and wonder - and also the childlike way in which she is dealing with her grief.
This week's guest is Farhana Bhula, the Head of Creative at Film4, where she has overseen production on a mix of projects from debut to established filmmakers.

Tristan Fidler and Cecilia Allen discuss two new movies in this episode of the Movie Squad podcast! For the first review, we take a look at the new British comedy-drama, Scrapper, starring Harris Dickinson and Lola Campbell (in her acting debut), which is the first feature film from director Charlotte Regan. A resourceful 12-year-old girl lives by herself in a council flat, still dealing with the loss of her mother. Things take a turn when her estranged father shows up on her doorstep to reconnect. Next, Cecilia looks at the off-beat American indie film, Biosphere, directed by Mel Eslyn, which takes place in a biosphere after the apocalypse where two men live together – played by Mark Duplass and Sterling K. Brown. As resources start to diminish, they are both surprised by what comes next. Not to worry – no spoilers – though the Squad does discuss whether this would be a good date-movie!

They say current disparities in women's health across England mean there are far too many cases where women's voices are not being heard. But the decision to only speak to women up to the age of 55 has provoked a backlash. Nuala McGovern is joined by consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Shazia Malik, a sub-specialist in reproductive medicine. The film Scrapper follows 12-year-old Georgie living happily alone in a council house in London following the death of her mum. But when her absent father Jason turns up out of the blue, her world is disrupted. We talk to director Charlotte Regan about her debut feature film who says she wanted to show British working class life as something that can be joyful and fun. A new survey shows that nearly a third of female NHS surgeons have been sexually assaulted by a colleague over the past five years. Nuala speak to Tamzin Cuming, a consultant surgeon and chair of the Women in Surgery forum at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, who says it's a #MeToo moment for surgery. Before the age of social media, there was still plenty of trolling in written form. Emily Cockayne, author of the new book Penning Poison, joins Nuala to discuss her research into the history of poison pen letters; that is, messages sent anonymously, seemingly with the intention to unsettle the recipient. Emily has traced the stories of such missives to all corners of English society from 1760 to 1939. We start our new series 'The Knock' which details the stories of two women whose lives were changed when they were told that a loved one had been arrested for sexual offences against children.

Continuing our recent theme of featuring low-budget British films on Soundtracking, our latest guest is Charlotte Regan, writer and director of the superb Scrapper. Featuring a remarkable central performance by 11-year-old Lola Campbell, Scrapper tells the story of Georgia, who is forced to confront a new domestic reality when, among other things, her estranged father turns up out of nowhere. The film is scored by Patrick Jonsson, who was kind enough to share some of his as yet unreleased cues for us.
Moving swiftly on from our Mercury Prize predictions, The Captain plugs low budget comedy drama Scrapper, and Pasifika rugby documentary Family Faith Footy.

In our first dispatch on the world premieres at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, we delve into the under-discussed and oft-ignored World Dramatic Competition. We go deep on our favourite World Dramatic Competition title so far: Slow (dir. Marija Kavtaradze), Scrapper (dir. Charlotte Regan), and When It Melts (dir. Veerle Baetens). Finally, we turn to two early US highlights: Erica Tremblay's Fance Dance and Luke Lorentzen's documentary A Still Small Voice. Click here to read the episode show notes. You will also find an AI-generated transcript in the show notes. 00:00 Introduction 09:10 Films from the Sundance World Dramatic Competition so far: Slow, Heroic, Scrapper, When It Melts, Mamacruz, Girl 53:23 Fancy Dance starring Lily Gladstone 1:18:35 A Still Small Voice 1:24:22 Sundance bingo More about the films discussed in the episode Erica Tremblay's Fancy Dance is in the US Dramatic Competition and about an Indigenous woman (Lily Gladstone) searching for her sister who recently went missing (MMIWG) while suddenly finding herself the sole guardian for her 12-year-old niece. The documentary A Still Small Voice(dir. Luke Lorentzen) in the US Documentary Competition is about the toll on a hospital chaplain of constantly extending empathy to others. Slow is a Lithuanian film about a dancer navigating a new relationship with her asexual partner. The film Scrapper is about a working class twelve-year-old girl in Dagenham who recently lost her mother and reconnects with her estranged father (an excellent Harris Dickinson). When It Melts is about a traumatic childhood event in a twelve-year-old girl's life that has devastating consequences for her as an adult. We also discuss Heroic (dir. David Zonana, Workforce) and Mamacruz (dir. Patricia Ortega), which also screened in the World Dramatic Competition. In past years, we've found some of our favourite films at Sundance in this section, including The Dog Who Wouldn't Be Quiet (2021), Charter (2020), The Souvenir (2020), God's Own Country (2017), Mammal (2016), Sand Storm (2016), and Homesick (2015). Unfortunately, these films also have the tendency to disappear so we wanted to throw a spotlight on the competition this year (as we do every year!), to draw attention to films you'll want to watch out for at local film festivals, which may be your only opportunity to watch them, or could get buried on VOD in the future. And hopefully, we can help get these films noticed and distributed! About the Sundance 2023 season This is the third episode of our new podcast season on the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.

Gladstone stars in the US Dramatic Competition film Fancy Dance. Watch Lockdown Film School with Lily Gladstone. Gladstone has a new film, Fancy Dance, at Sundance 2023, and we're excited to see it. Read an excerpt from our interview with Lily Gladstone which touches on her love of linguistics from the ebook Roads to nowhere: Kelly Reichardt's broken American Dreams. Gladstone talks about learning different languages, which is particularly relevant to Fancy Dance in which she speaks Cherokee.

Fancy Dance, one of our festival favourites thus far, also addresses MMIWG. Read Orla's Quick Thoughts review on last year's Girl Picture, in which one third of the central trio of characters questions whether she's asexual. This was the highlight of the 2022 World Dramatic Competition. This year's Slowalso features an asexual character. Download the Sundance 2023 bingo card to follow along at home.

Today I'm sharing another in-between season bonus episode that I recorded live as part of the BFI's Woman With a Movie Camera Summit in July. My guest was Molly Manning Walker, a cinematographer, writer and director. Molly trained as a cinematographer and graduated from NFTS in 2019, after which her graduation film November 1st was long-listed for a BAFTA. As a DP, she works across a variety of formats including documentary, fiction and advertising, and she has just finished shooting her first TV series, Superhoe, written by Nicole Lecky and directed by Dawn Shadforth and she is in prep for Scrapper directed by Charlotte Regan. Molly's debut writing and directing project was the short film Good Thanks, You? which premiered at the Semaine De La Critique program at the Cannes Film Festival. Her follow up short film, conceived and created during the pandemic, The Forgotten C, was BIFA Nominated. Meanwhile, her debut feature film How To Have Sex is currently in development with Film4 and Molly was recently awarded the Next Step Prize at Cannes. I thought it was a quite a no-bullshit conversation - Molly is quite young, and to mind, very successful and on a very exciting trajectory, but she made it very clear that has only been achieved through a very strong work ethic. Listening back to it for the edit I think it's full of quite practical advice and we talk about how limitations can be creatively useful, what support looks like on-set and how counselling and intimacy co-ordination were crucial to the making of Molly's short film Good Thanks, You? As well as discussing Molly's transition from shooting to directing, why she makes a habit of only using one light and what she considers to be the biggest learning curve of her career so far. I hope you enjoy listening to it!
Their distinctive 'teacher teacher' call is synonymous with British gardens, but great tits are facing a big problem - climate change. As our springtime becomes warmer and begins earlier, peak caterpillar abundance is also shifting earlier. As a crucial food source for great tit chicks, this is cause for concern. In this episode of the Big Questions Podcast, we catch up with ecologist Dr Charlotte Regan, one of the scientists who monitors the Wytham Woods great tit population, which has been systematically studied since the 1960s.
Dr. Charlotte Regan is an evolutionary ecologist currently researching great tits at the University of Oxford and recently studied life history and movement characteristics of the Sable Island feral horses. We spoke about the challenges of pursuing research positions around the planet and diversifying your training, about establishing research labs and trying to find fundable research niches, and about being productive and thoughtful scientists when under the pump of publishing, funding, teaching and all that comes with academia.
