Welcome, my ghoulish loves!In this final episode of Dark Thirst, I'm diving into pop culture's undying obsession with vampires. From the sensual chaos of True Blood to the glittering restraint of Twilight, and from Coppola's lavish Dracula to Eggers' haunting Nosferatu, I explore how every vampire revival mirrors what's happening in society. From our fears, desires, and shifting ideals of beauty. What do these immortal beings say about us and the times we live in?After centuries of fascination, it's clear, we don't just crave the vampire. We crave what they promise. *Listener Discretion is Strongly Advised*************Sources & References:Auerbach, Nina. Our Vampires, Ourselves. University of Chicago Press, 1995.Gelder, Ken.

This week, we dive headfirst into the visual and stylistic feast that is Francis Ford Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992).The ambition is undeniable—Coppola wanted to make a definitive, hyper-gothic, technically ingenious vision of the classic novel. And yet, for all its spectacular in-camera effects, Oscar-winning costumes by Eiko Ishioka, and Gary Oldman's powerhouse performance, the hosts find themselves a little lost in the crimson mist.Lemar and Mackenzie agree that this film, despite its good parts (and they are gorgeous parts), is simply trying to do too much. We discuss the overstuffed plot, which attempts to be a sweeping historical tragedy, a lurid gothic horror, an erotic thriller, and a faithful period piece all at once. We praise Oldman's captivating Count, the lush, jaw-dropping visual artistry, and the sheer audacity of the production. But we can't ignore the narrative confusions, the wildly uneven supporting performances (poor Keanu), and the overall feeling of maximalism that leaves the story feeling dispersed rather than cohesive.Tune in as we try to see the good in this operatic monster movie, ultimately concluding that sometimes, even a masterpiece can be too much of a good thing.This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming next.

Filmmaker Ari Gold turns the camera on his own family in "Brother Verses Brother," an ambitious one-shot musical that follows him and his identical twin brother searching for meaning through the streets of San Francisco's North Beach, alongside their 99-year-old novelist father, Herb. Gold explains how this experimental work, executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola and generating serious buzz on the festival circuit, blurs the line between documentary and fiction, asking uncomfortable questions about art, family, and what we're willing to expose in pursuit of truth.
El festival porta ingressats més de 900.000€, en el que significa un nou rècord, en el qual hi té molt a veure l'augment en prop d'un 8% en la venda d'entrades. Ahir Mònica Garcia i Àngel Sala ho certificaren, i el director va apuntar el leit motiv de la 59a edició: les encarnacions del mal, celebrant el 50è aniversari de tres clàssics: 'La profecia', 'Carrie' i 'Quién puede matar a un niño'. Però això serà l'any que ve. Mentrestant, Carles Calvo compra el 'Drácula' de Luc Besson, tot i que és una pel·lícula molt irregular que, volgudament, prioritza la història d'un amor. L'entrada Dia 8. ‘Drácula’, menys Coppola del que s’esperava, i l’any que ve… ‘La profecia’, ‘Carrie’ i ‘Quién puede matar a un niño’ ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Andrea Bini"Jaws. Lo squalo"La forma della pauraRubbettino Editorehttps://www.store.rubbettinoeditore.it/catalogo/jaws-lo-squalo/Nel 2025 Lo Squalo – ovvero Jaws nel titolo originale – compie esattamene 50 anni: uscito nell'estate del 1975 come adattamento dell'omonimo romanzo di Peter Benchley, fu un successo travolgente ed un grande fenomeno di costume che lanciò la carriera del suo giovane e sconosciuto regista allora al suo secondo film. Un certo Steven Spielberg, il quale dopo mezzo secolo è ancora uno dei registi più importanti di Hollywood. Ma l'enorme popolarità del film ha paradossalmente oscurato le sue vere qualità: per decenni i critici piùimportanti sono rimasti – letteralmente – alla superfice, incapaci di coglierne gli aspetti più complessi e profondi. Questo volume intende dimostrare che Lo squalo è molto di più di una “micidiale macchina per produrre paura” (come è stato definito con un certo disprezzo) ma un raffinatissimo film d'autore, degno di essere messo accanto alle grandi opere della cosiddetta “New Hollywood” degli anni Sessanta-Settanta (i vari Penn, Altman, Coppola, Scorsese), sia per lo stile innovativo che per il modo in cui denunciava impietosamente i mali della società americana contemporanea. Ma Lo squalo è allo stesso tempo un sofisticato esempio di “meta-cinema” di suspense che rimanda al maestro del genere Alfred Hitchcock, e soprattutto al suo capolavoro Gli uccelli di cui può essere considerato un vero e proprio remake.Andrea Bini dopo la laurea in Filosofia alla Sapienza di Roma, si è trasferito in America dove ha conseguito un Master in Film e Media Studies all'Università di Austin, Texas ed un Dottorato in Italianistica ad UCLA. Attualmente collabora con Temple University- Rome e l'American University of Rome, dove tiene corsi di cinema, mass media e cultura italiana. È autore di articoli e di un saggio sulla commedia all'italiana.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
Être critique, écrire sur les actrices Elle a détesté Barbie de Greta Gerwig pour son « fétichisme de la marchandise gonflé aux dimensions d'un blockbuster estival », son « auteurisme définitivement dévoré par l'hégémonie des franchises, l'ironie permanente et la postmodernité comme impasses narratives » ou « et c'est sans doute le plus pénible », écrivit-elle dans Le Monde, « la défense d'un féminisme néolibéral infantilisant devenu la façade respectable d'un capitalisme décomplexé ».Pour Murielle Joudet, un·e critique doit être « une sorte d'enfant obèse et ingrat, comme les post-humains imaginés par le studio Pixar dans Wall-E. Il ou elle ne doit rien à personne, parce qu'il ou elle n'a rien à revendiquer, rien à vendre et que personne ne l'aime. J'ai vu des critiques arrondir les angles d'une interview, couper ce qui pouvait être (un peu) choquant et ça m'a servi de leçon. J'écris des livres pour parler en mon nom, pour y aller à fond. »Après 21 pages sur Coppola en 2016 (dans un bouquin où elle était la seule femme parmi neuf auteurs), et entre les dizaines d'articles du monumental Hitchcock la totale en 2019 (co-signé avec trois complices de la Cinémathèque française), Murielle Joudet se donne enfin le premier rôle via deux ouvrages consacrés à deux actrices majuscules. D'abord Isabelle Huppert, avec Vivre ne nous regarde pas en 2018, puis Gena Rowlands en 2021, avec On aurait dû dormir, récompensé par le Centre National de la Cinématographie.Ce deuxième épisode dissèque ce remarquable diptyque contre l'ennui, pensé pour honorer des performances qui « tournent autour de la folie en s'aventurant très loin dans l'idée de se rendre incompréhensibles ». En montrant par exemple comment Gena Rowlands, égérie du cinéma de son compagnon John Cassavetes, parvient à traduire physiquement le « flux de conscience » cher à Virginia Woolf. « Son corps s'infléchit à la moindre pensée : elle ne ravale aucun état d'âme, les laisse infuser, fait du montage d'humeurs à même son corps, traversée par une violence inouïe. On peut avoir des éclats dépressifs ou des élans d'euphorie, dissimulés en général sous un masque de neutralité. Son masque glisse tout le temps. » Bas les masques, tout pour la plume.L'autrice du mois : Murielle JoudetNée en 1991 à Paris, Murielle Joudet est critique de cinéma dans la presse (Le Monde), à la radio (sur France Inter pour Le masque et la plume), en ligne (dans le podcast Sortie de secours ou via l'émission Dans le film sur le site Hors-Série) ou pour la Cinémathèque française. Elle a publié quatre ouvrages qui documentent avec rigueur des façons de défier les conventions, en tant que femme, dans l'industrie du 7e art : Isabelle Huppert – vivre ne nous regarde pas (Capricci, 2018), Gena Rowlands – on aurait dû dormir (Capricci, 2021), La seconde femme – ce que les actrices font à la vieillesse (Premier Parallèle, 2022) et un recueil d'entretiens avec la cinéaste Catherine Breillat, Je ne crois qu'en moi (Capricci, 2023).

Director Mike Figgis made the most of his opportunity to follow Francis Ford Coppola as the octogenarian filmmaker poured heart and soul, not to mention tens of millions of dollars, into making his 2024 narrative feature, Megalopolis. Figgis tells us what he observed behind the scenes as Coppola attempted to bring his cinematic vision to life, beset by creative issues that led to firings and resignations, and conflict with one of his principal actors, Shia LaBeouf.

Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather (1972) is widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. Based on Mario Puzo's best-selling 1969 novel, The Godfather depicts the rise and legacy of the Corleone family, a fictional Italian-American organized crime family led by Vito Corleone and the transformation of his son Michael from a reluctant outsider to a ruthless mafia boss. The film, which features an ensemble cast of American film icons, including Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duval, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire, and John Cazale, explores themes of family, power, and the American Dream. It also provides a window into the relationship between law and culture while offering complex perspectives on the meaning of justice.

En este nuevo episodio de Estamos de Cine cambiamos de pantalla: dejamos la grande para sumergirnos en la pequeña. Repasamos las series que han marcado el verano de 2025 con un "Súper Filtro Rachel" cargado de títulos imprescindibles: la esperada temporada de Miércoles, la dureza de Mobland, la comedia deportiva de Stick: Cracks del golf y la desconcertante producción española Furia. Un episodio pensado para seriéfilos que no quieren perder detalle de lo que se cuece en la televisión y las plataformas Min 4: MIÉRCOLES: LOS ADAMS RETUERCEN SU ESENCIA La segunda entrega de Miércoles confirma el fenómeno global que Netflix alumbró en 2022. La joven heredera de la familia Addams, encarnada de nuevo por Jenna Ortega, regresa a la Academia Nunca Más para enfrentarse a un verano seriéfilo marcado por misterios más oscuros, giros sobrenaturales y un retrato aún más ácido de la adolescencia. Tim Burton mantiene la atmósfera gótica y la ironía corrosiva, pero la serie busca ahora mayor madurez narrativa, combinando thriller juvenil y comentario social con una estética que vuelve a hipnotizar. NOTA EDC SERIES: 3,75 Min 13: "MOBLAND: TIERRA DE MAFIOSOS" ¿LA SERIE DEL AÑO? El desenlace de Mobland cumple con lo prometido: una inmersión sin concesiones en los códigos de la mafia contemporánea, donde la lealtad y la traición conviven en cada plano. La serie, que arrancó como un retrato coral de familias enfrentadas por el control del negocio, alcanza en su último capítulo un clímax de violencia contenida y pactos imposibles. Con ecos del cine clásico de Scorsese y Coppola, pero adaptada al ritmo de las plataformas actuales, Mobland despide su temporada consolidándose como una de las propuestas más intensas y adictivas del año. NOTA EDC SERIES: 4 estrellas Min 18: FURIA: LA SENSACIÓN ESPAÑOLA DEL VERANO La ficción española Furia se ha convertido en uno de los títulos más desconcertantes y comentados del verano. Con un tono que oscila entre el thriller psicológico y el drama social, la serie explora el lado más oscuro de las emociones humanas y la violencia soterrada que late en nuestro entorno cotidiano. Su narrativa fragmentada, cargada de simbolismo y de atmósferas opresivas, desafía al espectador con un juego constante entre lo real y lo imaginado. No es una propuesta fácil ni busca serlo: Furia apuesta por incomodar, por sacudir conciencias y por abrir debate sobre el miedo, la rabia y la fragilidad de las certezas. NOTA EDC SERIS: 3,5 estrellas Min 27: "STICKS: CRACKS DEL GOLF": BUENROLLISMO A LO TED LASSO La comedia deportiva de Apple TV+ cierra su primera etapa confirmando que el golf también puede ser terreno fértil para el humor ácido y el retrato generacional. Stick: Cracks del Golf despide temporada con un episodio que mezcla lo disparatado y lo entrañable, jugando tanto con la sátira del mundo elitista del deporte como con la evolución personal de sus protagonistas. El desenlace mantiene la frescura y el ritmo irreverente que han convertido a la serie en una sorpresa de la temporada, a la vez que siembra dudas y expectativas sobre el futuro de sus personajes dentro y fuera del green. Un cierre divertido y con más de un guiño a la cultura pop que consolida la serie como comedia ligera pero con pegada. NOTA EDC SERIES: 3,5 estrellas Min 33: "DOS TUMBAS". Thriller de catálogo made in Netflix Dos tumbas, creada por Agustín Martínez y escrita bajo el seudónimo Carmen Mola, es un thriller de intriga ambientado en la costa malagueña que impacta por su intensidad dramática en apenas tres episodios. En él, la abuela Isabel (una imponente Kiti Mánver) se convierte en investigadora fronteriza cuando sus nieta y su amiga desaparecen sin respuestas oficiales. Lo que comienza como una indagación desesperada se transforma en una implacable cruzada de venganza, donde la justicia paralela amenaza con devorar a quien la busca. NOTA EDC SERIES: 2,5 estrellas MIN 39: NOVEDADES Y ESTRENOS:THE RUNAROUND (Prime Video) Prime Video desembarca este septiembre con The Runarounds, una serie juvenil musical creada por Jonas Pate (co-creador de Outer Banks). Con sus ocho episodios disponibles desde el primer día—estrenados el 1 de septiembre de 2025—la ficción plantea un verano crucial en Wilmington, Carolina del Norte. NOTA EDC: 3,5 estrellas MIN 43: MONTECRISTO (MOVISTAR +) ¿QUIÉN HA HECHO ESTO? Montecristo propone una versión contemporánea del clásico de Alexandre Dumas al trasladar la venganza del mítico Conde a las altas esferas del capitalismo global. William Levy encarna a Alejandro Montecristo, un carismático empresario cubano fundador de una startup tecnológica que irrumpe en la élite madrileña con una fortuna envuelta en misterio. En realidad, es Edmundo Dantés, traicionado y dado por muerto, de regreso para ajustar cuentas tras dos décadas. NOTAS EDC SERIES: 1 estrella MIN 46: "FALSO AMOR Y VENGANZA" (NETFLIX) also amor y venganza se distancia del formato pasivo de su antecesor (El Estafador de Tinder) para adoptar una narrativa activa y empoderadora. La docuserie despliega seis episodios de aproximadamente 40 minutos que siguen a Cecilie Fjellhøy —víctima emblemática del timador Simon Leviev— y a la investigadora privada Brianne Joseph en su cruzada por ayudar a otras víctimas de estafas románticas a recuperar sus vidas, su dignidad y, sobre todo, cerrar heridas profundas. Min 48: LA MEJOR BSO DE SERIE DEL VERANO PARA ÁNGEL LUQUE Nuestro experto en series, Anagle Luque, pone la aguja en el tocadiscos del verano para repasar las ficciones más sonadas y elegir la banda sonora que mejor lo ha definido. ¿Habrá que apostar por el pulso criminal de Mobland: Tierra de Mafiosos? ¿Se impondrá la oscuridad magnética de Miércoles? ¿O nos sorprenderá con una joya escondida en el catálogo infinito de las plataformas? Sea cual sea la respuesta, lo que está claro es que las series vuelven a escena. Subimos el telón y damos comienzo al 3x01 de Estamos de Cine – Edición Series en Radio Castilla-La Mancha.

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast asks perhaps the biggest question ever tackled on this show: who would win in a fight between the Gleesons and the Skarsgårds? Join Chris Hewitt, Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and Amon Warmann, as they tackle that scenario and more. Is the world truly ready for the Coppola clan kicking bottom?

Lara Croft!), including a discussion of the trailer for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple that discusses spoilers for 28 Years Later. So, if you wish to skip, that runs from 53:44 - 58:00 approx. Oh, and they also review Spike Lee's reunion with Denzel Washington, Highest 2 Lowest, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, Ethan Coen's Honey Don't, and Orlando Bloom's searing boxing drama, The Cut. In fact, Orlando is one of our guests this week, joining The Cut's director Sean Ellis to chat with Chris on Zoom about the extreme lengths, physical and otherwise, he went to for the film. [1:08:37 - 1:25:12 approx] And Chris also sits down in the podbooth with MJ Bassett, director of the brand new version of Red Sonja, for a candid conversation about MJ's long-held determination to make a Red Sonja movie, her recent decision to leave the United States to return to Britain, and much, much more.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive into Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation, unpacking its themes of alienation, paradigm shifts, and fleeting human connection. They explore Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson's unlikely bond in Tokyo, debating whether the film's ambiguity makes it profound or pretentious. The hosts tackle Coppola's directing choices, the infamous opening shot, and the controversy of Johansson's age during filming, weighing how Hollywood's “male gaze” and art-house ambitions collide. From existential dread to pseudo-intellectual musings, they contrast Murray's weathered perspective with Johansson's youthful searching, examining how both characters project fantasies of freedom while feeling trapped in different ways. Along the way, they connect the film's commentary on identity and artifice to the decline of the modern movie star, social media overexposure, and Hollywood's struggle to create new icons. The episode closes with reflections on ambiguous endings, fantasy vs. reality, and next week's pick, M. Night Shyamalan's Split. It's a thoughtful, critical, and often humorous exploration of a movie that lingers long after the credits roll.

Welcome back to The Film Library, a Kanopy podcast where we dig into cinematic oddities, unforgettable characters, and genre gems that deserve a second look—no film degree required. This week, hosts Kristy Puchko (Entertainment Editor at Mashable) and Jeff Rauseo (film lover, movie marathoner, and lifelong believer that the truth is out there) face off in a genre showdown between monsters that crawl from the shadows and visitors from beyond the stars. Join them as they explore everything from creature features that wreak havoc on cities to alien tales that challenge our understanding of humanity, it's a battle of the bizarre. Kristy unleashes a trio of monster tales that span from gothic romance and grotesque transformations to a giant river-dwelling creature that terrorizes a city. Meanwhile, Jeff takes us on a journey through alien encounters, from low-budget splatterfests and existential comedies to a linguistically rich first-contact drama that asks what it really means to communicate. Whether you're into monster mayhem or visitors from beyond the stars, this episode is packed with thrills, chills, and a few laughs along the way.

From 1999- more from Michael Schumacher, talking about his book "Francis Ford Coppola: a Filmmaker's Life." Earlier this year, Coppola became the 50th person to receive the Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute.
Earlier this year, Francis Ford Coppola became the 50th person to be granted the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award- and the star-studded ceremony where he was presented the award was recently telecast on Turner Classic Movies. In honor of that, we are resharing our 1999 interview with Kenosha author Michael Schumacher in which we talk about his book "Francis Ford Coppola: A Filmmaker's Life." Coppola is renowned for directing and/or producing such films as "The Godfather," "The Godfather II," "Apocalypse Now," "The Outsiders," "Peggy Sue Got Married," "American Graffiti," and "The Cotton Club."
In 1996, Francis Ford Coppola needed the money. He was coming off a run of films that included The Godfather Part III, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Jack. His critical and box office results were at a career nadir. So he agreed to direct an adaptation of the John Grisham bestseller 'The Rainmaker' for Paramount. He wouldn't direct another film for 10 years. And he'd make only four more, including the epic disaster 'Megalopolis'. Curious then that 'The Rainmaker' is a superlative example of a courtroom thriller, a big-business-versus-the-little-guy movie that features fantastic performances from a large cast of total pros; a film that deserves to be considered among Coppola's best, and maybe a film whose constraints brought out the best in a filmmaker not know for personal or professional restraint.

Dracula may never stay dead, but his film incarnations sure evolve—or devolve—across decades. In this episode, Kyle Olson guides Pete Wright, Kynan Dias, and Tommy Metz III through three flavors of Dracula: Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), Dracula 2000, and Dracula Untold.They dig into Coppola's sweaty gothic melodrama, where Oldman chews the scenery and Keanu Reeves gets chewed out. Then it's on to Dracula 2000, where Gerard Butler's vampire has some serious history, and finally Dracula Untold, where Luke Evans broods his way through a Marvel-ified antihero origin story.The team debates: Is Dracula sexy? Is he even supposed to be? Is he best as a metaphor for carnal desire, theological vengeance, or medieval honor? And what happens when you declaw the monster in hopes of building a cinematic universe?Kyle signs off with a legacy worthy of the Count himself, and Tommy reveals next month's theme: rug-pulling horror films with Barbarian, Strange Darling, and the legendary British TV special Ghostwatch.Film SundriesThe List on LetterboxdWatch the movies discussed:Bram Stoker's Dracula: Apple • Amazon • LetterboxdDracula 2000: Apple • Amazon • LetterboxdDracula Untold: Apple • Amazon • LetterboxdThe Drac Pack (00:00) - Welcome to Sitting in the Dark (08:41) - Bram Stoker's Dracula (34:41) - Dracula 2000 (50:36) - Dracula Untold (01:09:11) - The Drac Pack (01:15:44) - But Kyle promised immortality!

"Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmakers Apocalypse" (1991), the award-winning documentary chronicling the tumultuous making of Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" recently had a theatrical run at New York's Film Forum in a new 4K restoration. In the late 1970s, director Francis Ford Coppola, accompanied by his family and cast and crew, travelled to the Philippines to begin work on what would become "Apocalypse Now". But it soon became one of the most notorious shoots in cinema history, spiraling into a hellish, life-threatening nightmare. Chronicling the drama was Coppola's wife, the late Eleanor Coppola, who shot extensive behind-the-scenes footage of the shoot in 16mm, and recorded audio interviews with her husband and others involved in the movie's making. In the early '90s, Eleanor turned her 16mm footage and audio interviews over to filmmakers George Hickenlooper and podcast guest Fax Bahr, who then interwove it with new interviews with the movie's cast members (including Martin Sheen and Dennis Hopper) and observers (like George Lucas). After a year of editing, the new documentary debuted at the Cannes Film Festival. Says Filmwax Radio guest James Mockoski, Film Archivist and Restoration Supervisor at American Zoetrope, "For the past 30 years, Eleanor's 16mm behind-the-scenes footage has been three to four generations removed from the original elements. For this new release and restoration of the documentary, Francis decided to scan the original sources in 4K. The extensive excerpts from the feature are now presented in their original 2.39:1 aspect ratio, rather than being letterboxed into a 4x3 frame." "Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmakers Apocalypse" has been restored by American Zoetrope from the original negative, with a re-mixed 5.1 soundtrack. Co-director Fax Bahr approved the grading, with the final seal of approval given by Francis Ford Coppola. Grading carried out at Roundabout Entertainment, Burbank, California.
Raise the subject of documentaries about filmmaking and you'll probably first go to Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse. Or the film you're thinking about instead was directed by somebody was thinking about Hearts of Darkness. Or, assuming the film came out earlier, it was perhaps directed by someone who later saw Hearts of Darkness and wishes they made a film as good. Which is no disrespect to any other film that fits into its genre––just to say that no other such documentary seems to mirror and match the subject. Though long available, the film has––very much contra Apocalypse Now––only just been restored by American Zoetrope and is now rolling out in theaters. The effort was overseen by James Mockoski, who has served as a guiding hand for the recent spate of Coppola restorations and recuts. I was accordingly pleased to speak with him and Hearts' co-director, Fax Bahr, about the film's legacy, its restoration, and what Francis Ford Coppola has planned after Megalopolis.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 317: Mihai Mălaimare Jr. For cinematographer Mihai Mălaimare Jr., ASC, his work with director Francis Ford Coppola from Youth Without Youth to Megalopolis has been a journey of constant education and evolution. Coppola, known for embracing new technology and a dynamic, on-set creative process, frequently pivots to explore fresh ideas in the moment. Megalopolis is Mihai's fifth collaboration with Coppola. Their partnership began when Coppola came to Romania to shoot Youth Without Youth and scout some locations for Megalopolis. Mihai recalls first encountering Coppola's “crazy ideas.” “I was like, yeah, that's crazy, but I'm 29, fresh out of film school and I'm working with Francis, so I better do it. And then you realize how much better the scene gets.” This relationship fostered a unique trust. “Little by little, we got in this interesting dynamic where I'm craving those moments. And I know it can be a really stressful situation when you prep, all of a sudden you change it 180 degrees. But I know that somehow we'll be able to find a solution and it will be better than anything we planned. And it's interesting- every single time, the scene got better.” Coppola had been developing his ideas for Megalopolis for decades, and shot test footage in 2001 with director/cinematographer Ron Fricke. He sought an ethereal, "poetic reality" with no specific timeframe, a concept Mihai initially found challenging to prepare for. However, the early footage provided crucial visual cues, and some of it was later integrated into the film. Coppola also collaborated with visual concept designer Dean Sherriff, who created a set of art keyframes for specific scenes, which guided Mihai's framing, shots, colors, and lighting. A gold and sepia color scheme added to the film's ethereal look. “It's such an amazing process of discovery with Francis,” says Mihai. “We did some storyboards, but very few. We never really shot listed. We were talking about things in general, but the idea is that when you go on set, and you have the actors, and you have sets and costumes and everything, you want to let yourself be inspired by the actors and the blocking more than just your plans and ideas.” While major scenes in Megalopolis were filmed on an LED volume stage, the movie creatively blends VFX, practical effects, and in-camera techniques. For a beautiful dreamlike driving sequence, Mihai used poor man's process for the car interiors, combining it with moving set pieces, miniature cars, and live actors dressed as statues. Coppola's long-standing admiration for the minimalist style of filmmaker Yasujirō Ozu influenced a preference for static camera work, with minimal dolly shots, tilts, or pans. "It's all about the frozen frame," Mihai explains. "It's a certain aesthetic that I like, because it's closer to still photography. There are things that are happening that you don't think of. First, you have to make sure that the composition is really spot on. And also, it's again the idea of contrast. When you do move the camera, that better be for a good reason.” Find Mihai Mălaimare Jr. Instagram:@malaimarejr_cinematography @malaimarejr_photography Hear our previous interviews with Mihai Mălaimare Jr.: https://www.camnoir.com/ep53/ https://www.camnoir.com/ep148/ Megalopolis will be on tour in select theaters starting July 20 with Francis Ford Coppola doing a Q&A after.

While Sofia Coppola's second film, Lost In Translation, remains her finest, the '70s-set The Virgin Suicides was a good start to her writing and directing career. Her debut is far from perfect, although it's lyrical, haunting and it looks fantastic. Now, we had issues with Coppola's loyalty to Jeffrey Eugenides' book, especially the narration and the inconsistent use of 5 boys across the street. Still, the movie is a good one. James Woods and Kathleen Turner as the parents and Kirsten Dunst as the most-rebellious of 5 daughters are the key members of a family of cloistered Catholics who live in the Michigan suburbs. The title of the movie gives away what happens...but why did they do it? We speak at length about the unknowable. So as June ends, take in Have You Ever Seen's 674th podcast as we throw it back and forth about The Virgin Suicides. Well, Actually: Bev is correct that Lux is 14 and is the second-youngest Lisbon...and because Ryan spent this episode thinking she was older than that, we didn't get as much into how she's a minor having sex with grown men as we probably should have. Also, this movie was playing at festivals before Freaks And Geeks hit TV screens in the fall of '99, so the movie used "Come Sail Away" in their homecoming dance before the TV show did.
