Hay líneas en la vida, que si las cruzas, no tienen vuelta atrás. Asomarse al abismo de nuestro interior, produce vértigo, pero también terror, al descubrir que no tenemos el corazón de oro, que pensamos tener. El ahora centenario Truman Capote (1924-1984) descubrió en Kansas algo de sí mismo, que le hundió en un pozo del que ya nunca pudo salir. Al investigar el incomprensible crimen de la familia Clutter en “A sangre fría” (1966) reinventa el periodismo, pero es incapaz de escribir ningún libro más, sumido en el alcoholismo y un descenso a los infiernos, que le lleva a destruir todas sus amistades. En este programa de radio, "Al Trasluz", escuchamos fragmentos del libro leído por Eugenio Barona, después de la voz del propio Capote leyendo el principio de la novela. Oímos escenas de las película que hizo Richard Brooks sobre la obra en 1967 (A sangre fría), Douglas McGrath sobre la biografía de George Plimpton en 2005 (Historia de un crimen) y de Bennet Miller en 2008 sobre el libro de Gerald Clarke (Capote). Escuchamos también la composición que hizo Peter Gabriel en 1980 (Family Snapshot) y la "Canción para Truman Capote" de Rhett Miller en 1989. La música que suena de fondo a los comentarios de José de Segovia es de la banda sonora original de Quincy Jones para la película de 1967 (In Cold Blood), la de 2005 por Rachel Portman (Infamous) y la de 2008 por Mychael Danna (Capote). El diseño sonoro y la realización técnica es de Daniel Panduro

There's no gentlemen where we are and none where we're going. This week's Nose is worried it's not fair. Taylor Sheridan is an actor and film- and television-maker. You might recognize him from Sons of Anarchy or Veronica Mars. You might have seen some of his movies, like Sicario or Wind River or Hell or High Water. But it's more likely you've seen some of the five TV series he's created. This week's Nose looks at three of them: Yellowstone, the most-watched scripted show on television; the Yellowstone prequel, 1883; and the standalone Mayor of Kingstown, starring Jeremy Renner. Some other stuff that happened this week, give or take: Aaron Carter Has Died At 34 Police were called to his home in Lancaster, California, Saturday.

Confessions of a Closet Romantic

This former literary snob confesses that — at least right now — I prefer watching Austen to reading Austen. I need streamlined, quick banter, a snappy pace. Luckily, there are a ton of adaptations, retellings and inspired by Austen books and films to last quite a while. Vanessa King, author of A Certain Appeal, the Pride and Prejudice-inspired story set at a New York burlesque club, stops by to talk about why she decided to modernize Austen. And listener Mariah joins me to explore the 2005 Pride and Prejudice with its subtle updates to the classic story. Grab a cozy throw and pull up a chair. How do you take your tea? https://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.comThe performance of the audiobook of A Certain Appeal by Julia Whelan brings this bright, modern Pride and Prejudice reset to life. Darcy is the hottest, sexiest thing ever here--as good a lover as we'd always hoped he'd be. The final sequence of the 2005 Pride and Prejudice is pitch perfect in every way: the pacing, the dialogue, the editing, the performances, the music. Darcy striding toward Elizabeth, frock coat flapping, across that misty field at dawn! How close they stand in this modern adaptation! And the casual, young-love intimacy of that final shot, with them in various stages of undress, is exactly what a modern audience wants to see for this favorite Austen couple.I realize I say this about nearly every kiss or proposal in an Austen adaptation, but the proposal in the 1996 Emma performed by Jeremy Northam and Gwyneth Paltrow is just about the most beautiful ever filmed. The whole movie is a delight, modern, fun and fresh, but in this sequence, writer/director Douglas McGrath constructed the ultimate culmination of their friends to lovers journey. The gorgeous score by Rachel Portman doesn't hurt, either.That final kiss sequence in the 2007 Persuasion just thrills me to my bones. It's such a perfect metaphor for their second chance/last chance relationship. Sally Hawkins' performance in this movie was a revelation, and she is now one of my most favorite Anne Elliots ever. You can watch the whole movie, broken into two parts, here.Clueless, based on Emma, may have been made in 1995 but it still feels fresh and modern today — fully capturing the spirit of that centuries-old story.And for some bonkers, post-modern fun, you can't beat the delightful time-travel story Lost in Austen or the immersive amusement park that is Austenland.

It's February, and that means Valentine's Day. We think there's no better way to celebrate than a month-long, two-part look at Jane Austen's wannabe-Cupid herself, Emma Woodhouse! In Part 1, we're discussing: Jane Austen's original 1815 novel The 1972 miniseries, directed by John Glenister, written by Denis Constanduros, and starring Doran Godwin and John Carson The 1996 theatrical movie, written and directed by Douglas McGrath, and starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Toni Collette, Ewan McGregor, and Jeremy Northam The 1996 TV movie, directed by Diarmuid Lawrence, written by Andrew Davies, and starring Kate Beckinsale, Mark Strong, Samantha Morton, and Olivia Williams The 2009 miniseries, directed by Jim O'Hanlon, written by Sandy Welch, and starring Romola Garai, Jonny Lee Miller, and Michael Gambon The 2020 theatrical movie, directed by Autumn de Wilde, written by Eleanor Catton, and starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Johnny Flynn, and Bill Nighy In Part 2, we'll be taking a look at some of the less traditional adaptations (and yes, that means Clueless). Footnotes: Our previous looks at Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3) and Sense and Sensibility The Librivox dramatic reading of Emma (starring Arielle Lipshaw as Miss Bates) Emma: A BabyLit Book by Jennifer Adams and Alison Oliver Our two-part look at Jane Eyre (Part 1 and Part 2) Maddy Prior and Steeleye Span Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit, A Larum, and Song One (2014) Miranda Hart and Miranda (2009–2015) Green Wing (2004–2007) You can follow Adapt or Perish on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, and you can find us and all of our show notes online at adaptorperishcast.com.

Crash positions listeners: it’s a JANEuary charm bomb. This week, Morgan and Isabeau pour one out for the chaste and stationary in their discussion of the classic Jane Austen adaptation and sleepover film par excellence, Clueless, directed by Amy Heckerling, and its lackluster bedfellow, Emma, directed by Douglas McGrath. What is a proper distillation of this novel’s essence - is it the tragedy of a trapped mind? Does a modern retelling highlight its comedic elements? Did Alicia Silverstone and Gwyneth Paltrow become Emma in real life? Where do you stand on Emma? Cuddle up with your favorite sexy step-brother for this one y’all because it’s movie night.

[NEW FILE AVAILABLE - Dear listeners, we discovered and deployed some further audio fixes after releasing this episode, so if your episode auto-downloaded, we recommend deleting and re-downloading it to get the new version. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience!] Hello First Impressions fans! Everyone, we bespeak your indulgence: Episode 10 of the podcast is our experimental attempt to do a Rifftrax-style movie commentary on Douglas McGrath's adaptation of Emma (starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeremy Northam). This track is meant to be listened to while simultaneously watching the movie (we tell you when to press play!), however, if you're just doing data entry at work, Maggie tells me that it is still quite entertaining to listen to on its own. Two important notes! First, we pretty much talk over the whole movie, so, if you've never seen the movie before, you might want to give it a watch on its own first! Our verdict is that a delightful adaptation. Second, the audio quality improves greatly at minute 18, as we discovered and corrected a minor microphone issue. Better late than never, right?  Thanks to all for indulging our experiment, and look for our next podcast on Lady Susan, including a movie review of Whit Stillman's Love and Friendship, coming soon!
