From Julianne Moore's tour-de-force performance to the evocative Elmer Bernstein score and Edward Lachman's exquisite cinematography, this conversation celebrates the film's style and its urgent relevance.Don't miss this conversation about one of the most visually rich and emotionally complex films of the decade.
SEASON 2 - EPISODE 132 - Post - with Ed Lachman In this special episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, cinematographer Ed Lachman (Season 1, Episode 77) joins us to talk about post-production from the point-of-view of a cinematographer. Throughout the episode, Ed shares a bounty of his own observations regarding colour, luminosity, and depth of field, and we share our own perspectives on the perceived effects of anamorphic and spherical lenses. We later discuss the fatiguing effect of a monotonous montage of dark images, and Ed reveals a recent revelation about the relationship between resolution and colour. We also discuss the different (and complicated) methods of mimicking film in digital images, and we reflect on the importance of making your image look the way you want in-camera. We also ask Ed what he might do differently today to achieve the same Douglas Sirk-inspired look of Todd Haynes' FAR FROM HEAVEN, and Ed even brainstorms what he might do on his upcoming film shooting later this year. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure
This season, I am focused on stories with negative or neutral character arcs. Sometimes, finding out what a character doesn't want is the first step to discovery. On the surface, Cathy Whitaker has a perfect life. However, it's a shallow life. Cathy's choices are symbolically represented by her husband, Frank, and her gardener, Raymond. The two male characters are interesting external representations of Cathy's internal choices. There's a small amount of exposition in Far From Heaven, but when it features, it's done straightforwardly and with simplicity. -M“The interesting events in Cathy's arc happen side by side in the movie. She shows an interest in Raymond at the same time, she discovers Frank with another man. While Cathy is trying to maintain one life, she's also growing in another part of her life.” - Melanie HillRelated Story Nerd EpisodesThe Accidental Tourist (Season 5, Episode 3) For access to writing templates and worksheets, and more than 70 hours of training (all for free), subscribe to Valerie's Inner Circle.To learn to read like a writer, visit Melanie's website.Follow Valerie on X, Instagram and Threads @valerie_francisFollow Melanie on X, Instagram and Facebook @MelanieHillAuthor
Original Release Date: Monday 23 September 2024 Description: On this week's episode, Dean and Phil answer the following questions: 1) Was Vincent Van Gogh a mathematics genius? 2) What does a Frisbee have to do with airline aviation? 3) Does Phil's hatred of The Fall Guy know no bounds? Then, a review of the neo-noir pastiche Love Lies Bleeding leads into a brief discussion about distributor A24's output. The recent Chillpak discussion of Joaquin Phoenix bailing on his planned collaboration with Todd Haynes, caused Phil to revisit Todd Haynes' 2002 almost-masterpiece Far From Heaven, and the death of the legendary leading man Alain Delon led Phil to watch three of the actor's greatest successes on the big screen this week. The result is not only a discussion of Le Cercle Rouge, Purple Noon and La Piscine (aka The Swimming Pool), but a full deep dive into "heist" pictures, film critics, and more.
Fortunes change with the seasons in this 2002 exploration of social consequences set in 1950s Hartford, Connecticut. Kathy Whittaker, played by Julianne Moore, achieves peak surburbia just as her husband Frank (Dennis Quaid) begins having gay dalliances and Raymond, a new gardener, awakens Kathy's need for romantic connection. That Raymond, played by Dennis Haysbert, is Black, allows Kathy to experience an instructive dose of otherness on her visit with him to the Black parts of town. This translates to very real social shunning once her bigoted peers learn of her relationship, and Kathy's standing is threatened on nearly all sides. Haynes serves up this compelling parable in the unblemished jewel-tones and maudlin violins of mid-century melodrama. With dialogue as stiff as Frank's starched collars juxtaposed with unexpectedly naturalistic performances, more than a few scenes combust to devastating effect within the button-down milieu. Dave delights in the throw-back nod to Douglas Sirk and the genre of the ‘women's picture,' and in the uncanny blend of cliches and earnest heartbreak. Jeremy questions the narrative goals at work in the movie, musing on the resistance the film offers to any easy moral judgments. Did Kathy change, or was she a fish-out-of-water the whole time? Is the audience–or even the whole film–complicit in a white lady pity-party? And does anyone who lives in a split-level house still wear a tux to their own holiday party?

We conclude our Camp Cinema season with our eighth episode covering Johnny Guitar (1954) and Imitation of Life (1959).In our finale, we delve into the origins of Camp Cinema in the 1950s, spotlighting Nicholas Ray's flamboyant western Johnny Guitar and Douglas Sirk's melodramatic Imitation of Life. Johnny Guitar subverts the traditional male bravado typical of most westerns by pitting two powerful women against each other. The visual artistry of Ray and his cinematographer, Harry Stradling, reveals the campy essense of the film with a rich palette of canary yellows, baked terra cottas, and deep azures. Imitation of Life achieves a similar feat, but with emotional resonance rather than visual flair. During our 1950s season, we explored Todd Haynes' commendable Douglas Sirk hommage, Far From Heaven. But nothing compares to the authentic touch of Sirk himself. Sirk masterfully understood cinema's power over an audience, manipulating emotions with precision in Imitation of Life. Its finale is one of the most emotionally explosive moments ever captured on celluloid. Camp manifest is many forms. Here we have two films that seem diametrically opposed in genre, but both use camp to full effect to elicit a deep response.

Biografía El inicio de la carrera de la banda se dio cuando fue el soporte de 4 de los 5 shows de Blaze Bayley (ex- Iron Maiden) en Finlandia, también cuando resultó ganador del Wacken Open Air Metal Battle 2010, organizada por la emisora finlandesa Radio Rock Starba y apareció en la Expo de Metal finlandés de 2011. La banda pronto consiguió un contrato de grabación con la compañía Hype Records a finales de 2010. Lanzado en abril de 2011, el álbum debut Steel llegó a las listas de ventas finlandesas al número 6. Los comentarios de Steel variaron de muy bueno a excelente en casi todos los medios de comunicación locales. El verano siguiente la banda se lanzó a girar extensivamente por su Finlandia natal, teniendo también una corta estancia en Alemania, apoyando a Poisonblack. A finales del 2011 se produjo el lanzamiento mundial de Steel mediante la multinacional Nuclear Blast. Poco después el grupo ganó el honor de salir de gira junto a Nightwish en su gigantesca gira europea Imaginaerum, que ofreció más de 20 conciertos en 13 países diferentes. La gira resultó de gran éxito. Se aprovechó para grabar un vídeo en directo de la canción "Iron Hand" durante uno de sus espectáculos en Francia. En septiembre de 2012 Noora Louhimo fue presentada como la nueva cantante, en sustitución de Nitte Valo. En noviembre de 2012 se embarcan de nuevo por Europa junto a sus compañeros de sello Sonata Arctica para ofrecer más de 20 conciertos en vivo. La banda lanzó en mayo de 2013, su segundo álbum homónimo, Battle Beast. En enero de 2015 Battle Beast lanza su tercer álbum, Unholy Savior. En agosto del 2015 la banda participa en el prestigioso festival alemán Summer-Breeze, en Dinkelsbühl. A finales de febrero de 2015 la banda da un cambio drástico en la formación al expulsar a Anton Kabanen, quien no sólo era el guitarrista sino que era el líder, fundador y compositor principal de la banda. En febrero del 2017 Battle Beast lanza su cuarto álbum, Bringer of Pain. En marzo de 2019 Battle Beast lanza su quinto álbum, No More Hollywood Endings. En enero de 2022 Battle Beat lanza su sexto álbum de estudio, Circus of Doom.

For as long as I've been a devotee of cinema, I've followed the career of Patricia Clarkson. Patricia is a genuine queen of the screen, featuring in films like The Station Agent, Far From Heaven, The Green Mile, and Pieces of April, for which she received an Academy Award nomination. Her latest films is the magnificent drama film Monica, featuring Trace Lysette (Transparent, Hustlers) who plays the titular character, a trans woman who poses as a support worker to visit her dying mother, Eugenia (Patricia Clarkson). Due to Eugenia's abusive nature, Monica left the family years ago, only to be drawn back into the fold by her sister-in-law, Laura (Emily Browning), to make amends with her mother.Unresolved trauma hovers under the surface of Monica's exterior, with Trace Lysette delivering a performance that stuns with its authenticity and complexity, and when she shares the screen with Patricia Clarkson, the film truly soars. Director Andrea Pallaoro, alongside co-writer Orlando Tirado, has crafted a masterful trans narrative which was part of a landmark year of LGBTIQA+ cinema in 2023.In the above interview, Patricia talks about her work throughout the years, the importance of celebrating and championing queer voices, and the joy of working alongside Trace Lysette.Monica screens at the upcoming Mardis Gras Queer Screen festival, running in cinemas in Sydney from 15-29 February 2024, with select films heading online for on demand screenings across Australia from 1-11 March 2024. Tickets can be purchased at QueerScreen.com.au.

There's something for everyone.Monica screens at Queer Screen on Tuesday 27 February 2024. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

SEASON 20 BEGINS!!! We meet ICON of film and Hollywood costumes SANDY POWELL OBE!!!! We discuss her love of art, collaborating with legendary queer artists/creative minds Derek Jarman and Lindsay Kemp, a 25 year collaboration with choreographer Lea Anderson, and how art informs her costume design. Sandy is a multi award-winning Costume Designer who has won three Academy Awards, three BAFTA Awards for Best Costume Design, plus the recent honour of BAFTA Fellowship 2023, and a Costume Designers Guild Award.Londoner, Sandy, studied at St Martins School of Art and the Central School of Art and Design where she specialised in theatre design. She started her professional career in fringe with the National Theatre working on numerous productions including Orders of Obedience and Rococo. She went on to design sets and costumes for productions of Lumiere and Son, Bright Side and Culture Vulture. As a student and one of the leading lights of the international theatre scene she most admired was Lindsay Kemp, the gifted director, designer and performer. On impulse she spoke to him on the phone and said how much she wanted to work with him. After seeing samples of her work he asked her to join him in Milan as costume designer for his theatre company.

Educated at Sydenham High School, she went on to complete an Art Foundation at Saint Martins in 1978, and in 1979 she began a BA in Theatre Design at Central School of Art and Design (now Central Saint Martins.)In 1981 she withdrew from her degree to assist a costume designer who worked for a fringe theatre company called Rational Theatre, and also began a long collaboration with Lindsay Kemp designing for him in Italy and Spain.In 1984 when, after a spell as a costume designer on music videos, she moved into the film industry. Her break came when the film director and stage designer Derek Jarman appointed her costume designer on his film, Caravaggio (1986), starring Tilda Swinton and Sean Bean. To date, Powell has worked as Costume Designer on over 50 films, including Orlando (1992);The Crying Game (1992); Interview with the Vampire (1994); Michael Collins (1996); The Wings of The Dove (1997); Hilary and Jackie (1998); The End of the Affair (1999); Gangs of New York (2002); Far From Heaven (2002); Sylvia (2003); The Aviator (2005); The Departed (2006); Shutter Island (2010) Hugo (2011) The Wolf of Wall Street (2013); Cinderella (2015); Carol (2015); Mary Poppins Returns (2018); and Living (2022).

Todd Haynes (Carol, Far From Heaven) directs this domestic drama/psychological thriller starring Oscar-winner Julianne Moore as a suburban woman who had an affair with an underage boy more than twenty years prior and ended up marrying him after she was eventually released from prison. This young boy has grown up into Charles Melton (Riverdale) and the two eventually had a family....now with three teenagers, two of whom are about to graduated high school. Their lives together have seemingly become more mundane now more than two decades removed from scandal....but complicating matters is the introduction of Elizabeth (Oscar-winner Natalie Portman) who is a TV actress who has come to visit them for an extended period of time. She will soon be starring in a film production recounting their affair so she has taken it upon herself to not only "study" Gracie as a person but to become involved with every one else in their lives. And what results is a truly unique story of love, loss, and regret which is unlike anything else you might have seen in recent years....and it's playing on Netflix!Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

In the third episode of our Set in the 1950s cycle, we compare two hommages to the post war decade: Todd Haynes' Far from Heaven and Frank Darabont's The Majestic.Special guests: Brian Eggert from Deep Focus Reviews, Rotten Tomato Approved and frequent KARE 11 guest film critic What started out as a random pairing of two 1950s period pieces from the early Aughts became a rather interesting juxtaposition on the potency and fugility of worshiping art from the past. Far From Heaven was born from a love and respect for Douglas Sirk's fifties melodramas, and The Majestic has Frank Darabont donning his best Capra impression. While both films have inherited riches from the past, their contemporary narratives tend to sizzle instead of sparkle. Far From Heaven is beautifully shot and acted with an intricate and immaculate product design. But we wonder if there is anything happening beyond a Sirk lovefest. The Majestic has a prefab Americana store of redemption that is instantly gripping. But while the trim looks polished and proper, the rooms feel empty. Both films demonstrate how hommage can result is both a dissonant feedback loop as well as an illuminating ouroboros. Note: This podcast was recorded and produced during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike. Without the labor of writers and actors currently on strike, Asteroid City and The Fabelmans would not exist.

This week we're excited to present a conversation with director Todd Haynes. Haynes's new film, May December, will make its North American premiere as the Opening Night selection of the 61st New York Film Festival on September 29th. In this archival conversation with Haynes, the director discusses his mid-90s classic, Safe, starring his May December and Far From Heaven leading actress, Julianne Moore. While Haynes shot Safe in 1994, he set it at the height of the AIDS epidemic seven years earlier. The unnamed disease at the center of this indelible, shuddering movie—widely considered one of Haynes's masterpieces—has taken on new, unexpected meanings since the film's release, and yet much of what makes Safe revelatory to watch is the uncanny precision of its setting, look, and tone. Carol (Julianne Moore), whose mysterious breakdown from perfect housewife to cloistered invalid drives the movie's plot, is a character couldn't live anywhere but suburban L.A. in the late '80s—a landscape Haynes captures in a strange, piercing, hyperreal light. Jonathan Rosenbaum called Safe “the most provocative American art film of the year” in 1995. It's hard to imagine any movie topping it were it released now. This conversation was moderated by NYFF Artistic Director, Dennis Lim.
Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 3 of the Director Watch Podcast, they are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Sophia Ciminello discuss the latest film in their Todd Haynes series, I'm Not There (2007). Following up his most successful film to date, Todd Haynes pivoted from the Douglas Sirk inspired world of Far From Heaven to tackle a music biopic about one of the greatest American figures in music history, Bob Dylan. Unlike Velvet Goldmine, where he wasn't granted access to use the songs of the iconic singer David Bowie, Dylan gave his blessing to Haynes for this project, which explore the multiple personas of the legendary singer songwriter performed by six different actors of various age, gender and race. With this, Haynes made a film that is now celebrated amongst the other outstanding films of the vastly rich year that was 2007. On this episode, Ryan, Jay and Sophia breakdown if Haynes was able to stick this landing for this ambitious film, if it does right by Dylan's legacy, why more modern biopics aren't made this way, they aren't looking forward to the new Bob Dylan biopic from director James Mangold, and which other music genius could get a similar I'm Not There style of film made about their life and career. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h37m. The guys will be back next week to continue their Todd Haynes series with a look at Carol. Till then, let's get into it.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this brand new AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision-making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 2 of the Director Watch Podcast, they are joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson discuss the latest film in their Todd Haynes series, Far from Heaven (2002). Right off at the top of the show, we address that there won't be an episode on Velvet Goldmine, as an error was made, and the episode has been lost forever. But Ryan, Jay and Erik give some brief thoughts on the 1998 film before diving into Haynes's 2002 follow up. In a pivot away from the glam rock drama, he found his way back into the cinematic world with another look at the domestic life of a wife played by Julianne Moore. Unlike Safe, Far From Heaven takes place in the 1950s, and explores a traditional 50's family crumbling due to sexual and racial relationships the married couple form in the film that were taboo for the time. Known for being one of the best films of the year 2002, Ryan, Jay, and Erik breakdown the film from every angle, from the brilliant score, Moore's performance, Haynes's screenplay, the homages to the genius director Douglas Sirk, and so much more.

In Far From Heaven, Todd Haynes pays loving homage to sumptuous 1950's Douglas Sirk melodramas. This movie is actually more ambitious than anything Sirk ever did though. Haynes tackles multiple controversies in his "Issues Film", including closeted homosexuality and romance between a black man & a white woman. The actors---especially Julianne Moore---are excellent. Moore, Dennis Quaid and Dennis Haysbert play it very close to the chest and they make their director's deliberately phony-sounding dialogue come across as true and accurate. These characters have three-dimensions and many shades of grey and they all get hurt by the way society was back then...and in some ways still is. Incidentally, we neglected to mention that Haynes himself is gay. We also skated over the horrible act of conversion therapy, which no one should have ever had to go through. And we didn't make the connection that Moore played ANOTHER desperately suppressed '50s housewife in her other 2002 Oscar nomination (The Hours).

All aboard as we celebrate one, two, three, four, scratch that, fifty episodes of Overlapping Dialogue with a movie so big that even this podcast couldn't sink it: Titanic! But before we rally to the lifeboats or slide hopelessly to our chilly doom, this week's Blue Plate Special finds us chowing down on a whole host of recent watches, including Smooth Talk, The Green Fog, Kameradschaft, Mud, and Far From Heaven. Once the appetizers are dispatched, we feast on James Cameron's gargantuan main course of a production, working our way through the various historical contexts the movie situates itself in, unpack the film's at once broad yet entirely effective characterizations of class, and answer the question of whether or not this really was the last great Hollywood movie made at this scale and execution. Spoiler alert: it was. It really was... Feel free to skip to 3:11:33 for the beginning of our audio commentary.

In this episode of the Don't Know Her? podcast we are back to chat about another performer we feel deserving of a lot more recognition than they have received so far. This time we are delighted to be joined by a guest from all the way Down Under, it's James Kunovski - host of the Out of Oscar podcast - who has brought the delightful Patricia Clarkson to round off our miniseries focussing in on one-time Oscar Nominees Patricia will be a familiar face to many for her eclectic work in American indie cinema and for her award-winning supporting turns in TV shows like Sharp Objects and Six Feet Under. In this episode we focus on a few of her many film performances, including The Station Agent, Far From Heaven, Easy A, and her Oscar-nominated turn in Pieces of April. We even dip into her less celebrated work in the 2002 TV adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie, where she plays iconic literary/screen mother, Margaret White. In the quiz this time Michael pits James against Scott to establish who is the bigger fan of Ms. Clarkson. Following on from this we all make our suggestions for what we'd love to see from Patricia down the line. Will any of these choices get picked up for development - we certainly hope so. We hope you enjoy this episode and that if you haven't already you'll join us on social media.

Welcome to MASTADQ: Mark And Sarah Talk About Dennis Quaid! Mark Blankenship slid into the guest chair (not a euphemism) to discuss Far From Heaven, the line between melodrama and tragedy, and how Todd Haynes's 2002 homage to Douglas Sirk and "women's pictures" lets the paintings that are Cathy and Frank Whitaker become real. Sarah revisits a ten-year-old review that wasn't fair to Quaid's performance; Jeb files his ratings from his score-poisoning sickbed (and unearths another DQ-blocking runner); and we all wonder how to rate a performance that won awards, but isn't very Quaidy.

Well known as writer of The Angry Filmmaker Survival Guides, Kelley has also directed various short and feature films. He has an extensive career working in sound design on films such as Good Will Hunting and Far From Heaven. In the late 90's Kelley would make his first feature film, Birddog, putting it all on the line to see his project through. In the interview, he talks with Poxy and Ragan about his early days as a father and filmmaker, the transition to Hollywood, and his career as an author, all of which would help make Kelley Baker who he is today, and that's The Angry Filmmaker.Support the show (https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E9988&id=1)

Come one, come all to the Sirk Du Soleil as the Deep Cut trio discusses Todd Hayne's Far From Heaven. Ben compares his Deep Cut Pick to Haynes' critically acclaimed, subsequent melodrama Carol to show the breadth of the director's approach to melodrama, but Eli and Wilson aren't so convinced. Wilson feels that it's a shallow imitation of the Women's Picture auteur Douglas Sirk, while Eli questions the movie's sociopolitical outlook from the early 2000's. Can Ben open the discussion to the movie's merits? What's a color score? And will Eli ever shut up about Psycho (1998)? Wistfully contemplate your loves of yore in our Discord server. Keep up with Deep Cut on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Letterboxd. Read Scott Higgins' essay on the color score in Far From Heaven (Chapter 9, pages 101-113).
Rebecca Hall's new PASSING takes a more restrained, internal approach to its story about racial identity and the rejection thereof than Douglas Sirk's 1959 classic IMITATION OF LIFE, but the two films share an awareness of how style and subject matter can work hand in hand.

Todd Haynes is co-host Dolores McElroy's “favorite living director” for his films' “meticulousness” and “visual splendor,” but above all the way he loves his subjects and makes them “vibrant and romantic”! Dressed for life at the front of a classroom, Haynes always projects the air of a nice, well-adjusted teacher--and indeed, he figured he'd wind up as a teacher who made experimental films on the side. But he made a splash in the late 1980s film world with his surprisingly moving film Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, done in stop-motion animation using Barbie dolls as his cast, quickly became a leading light of the New Queen Cinema movement with his film Poison under conservative right-wing attack, and he's been with us as a fascinating filmmaker ever since, with films as varied in content and approach as Safe, Far From Heaven, I'm Not There, Mildred Pierce, Carol, Wonderstruck, Dark Waters, and the new documentary The Velvet Underground. [MIND THE GAP: We got so embroiled in talking about Haynes, we talked right through a gap in the sound around the ten-minute mark. Just keep on listening, we come back strong!]
Douglas Sirk (1897 - 1987) - All That Heaven Allows (1955) Sirk was a Dane born in Germany and became very successful in Germany as a theater director. His 1st wife joined the Nazi Party. He left Germany primarily because of the danger the rise of the Nazi Party created for his 2nd wife who was a Jew. The core and substance of Sirk's oeuvre was created in Hollywood in the 1950's in so-called women's films. Sirk's greatest works depicted social constraints from the woman's point of view and offered full-bodied characters to his female stars. Sirk uses sweeping music, vivid technicolor, and lush scenery in opposition to emotional suppression and the heavy hand of systemic oppression. He hides his true anti-fascist message behind the tissue-thin glamor of Hollywood. At the time of their release, Sirk's movies were critically sneered at for their swollen emotions and woman-centric themes. It was, per usual, the French New Wave directors and Cahiers du Cinema who embraced, lauded, and raised to the pantheon Douglas Sirk's 1950's films. Perhaps, the French could appreciate the films in depth because they were not afraid of the romantic stylistic grandeur and the anti-bourgeoises subtext. ATHA stars the almost forgotten Jane Wyman (Ronald Reagan's 1st wife in real life) opposite the younger Rock Hudson. Wyman is an upper class widow in love with a younger, working class man. And all the forces of her class, family, and larger social circle put pressure on her to forego an alliance with an “unsuitable” man. Her family and society's discomfort come from her crossing the class barrier and more, fundamentally, her implicitly asserting her sexual desire by making this choice. Sirk uses lighting, imagery, and mise en scene to evoke Wyman's inner life, which she keeps buttoned up as required by her training and social position. To my mind, Sirk's greatest film is his last, Imitation of Life (1959). It is a remake of the equally good 1934 black-and-white version starring Claudette Colbert and Louise Beavers as two women whose lives are bound together. They are bonded emotionally and economically, yet divided by race and class. Sirk's remake starring Lana Turner and Juanita Moore is more stylish and emotionally febrile as he builds an edifice of intersectional inequality with gowns by Jean Louis. The major difference between the films is that in the 1934 version Louise Beaver's black maid character plays a major role in raising the family's fortunes by her own talents. Sirk retired in 1959 after Imitation of Life. But continues to influence and inspire filmmakers, particularly male filmmakers. Todd Haynes (b. 1961) - Far From Heaven (2002) Todd Haynes has a strong sympathy and insight into the female point of view. He has directed films in many genres but he brings a complex compassion no matter the form he is using. Far From Heaven is a remake of All That Heaven Allows (1955) with a large dollop of Imitation of Life (1959) folded in. In FFH, Julianne Moore is not a widow but a woman married to a closeted gay man, who falls in love with a straight, working-class, black man; thereby, challenging all the taboos. Haynes adopts all the hallmarks of Sirk's style - oceanic musical score, colors so rich you can taste them, and pulsating, barely expressed emotions shifting the tectonic plates of the character's lives. Rainer Werner Fassbinder (1945 - 1982) Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1974) This is one of the best out of Fassbinder's enormous catalog of 44 films directed during his 18-year career. Fassbinder lived an openly queer lifestyle, indulged in, and eventually died from drugs. Basically, Fassbinder did not give shit what conventional and middle-class morality dictated. All of his films were political in that they spit in the face of the establishment. In Ali, Fassbinder has the courage to cast a man and woman whose demographics really challenges normative attitudes about heterosexual relationships. Brigitte Mira is actually 25 years older than her love interest played by El Hedi Ben Salem. She is not cosmetically enhanced with surgery, weight-loss, or special undergarments. Salem is a man of color, originally from Morocco, making him an immigrant and non-white. Every element is spectacularly transgressive in the 1970's and still challenging today. Unlike Douglas Sirk and Todd Haynes, Fassbinder had no ties to the filmmaking establishment. He rebels stridently in his raw, unlovely mise en scene. Yet, at the same time, he pays homage to Sirk's visual vocabulary.
An Autumn's Tale (1987) / Far From Heaven (2002) This week autumn leaves are falling as we discuss two tales of love and transition in Todd Haynes' modernist melodrama and Mabel Cheung's immigration romantic comedy
This week, Morgan and Gavia dive into Todd Haynes' 2002 masterpiece "Far From Heaven," starring Julianne Moore as a 1950s housewife, Dennis Quaid as her closeted husband, and Dennis Haysbert as the gardener with whom she falls in love. They discuss the film's relationship to Douglas Sirk's 1950s women's pictures, its recreation and subversion of period aesthetics and attitudes, the stunning performances from the main cast members, and much more.

You Might Know Her From Dead Man Walking, In the Bedroom, Junebug, Alice, The Talented Mr. Ripley, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Igby Goes Down, Far From Heaven, and The Village. Celia, one of the truest embodiments of the premise of this show, talked to us about bringing improv to Jody Hill’s set but not being encouraged to do so on Nancy’s Meyer’s The Intern, working with auteurs like Todd Haynes and M. Night Shyamalan, sinking her teeth into accents whether Staten Island or Bavarian, and the complexities of joining the sitcom Alice in its fifth season. There was just so so much. Follow us on social media: @damianbellino || @rodemanne Celia Weston IMDB Charlotte Raines (daughter of Ron Raines and Dona Vaughn, Celia’s goddaughter) facilitated our interview, shout out to her. Nominated for Best Supporting Actress Indie Spirit Award for Dead Man Walking Susan Sarandon as Sister Helen Prejean was very generous during their filming Had extremely emotional scene opposite Sissy Spacek in In the Bedroom (2001, Todd Field) Directed actors turned directors: Jodie Foster (Little Man Tate), Diane Keaton (Hanging Up), Todd Field (In the Bedroom), Tim Robbins (Dead Man Walking). Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven) was a tribute to Douglas Sirk (All That Heaven Allows, Imitation of Life) Female directors: Poms (Zara Hayes), The Intern (Nancy Meyers), Jodie, Diane Improvised with Anne Hathaway in The Intern (Meyers not into it) Loved working with director, Jody Hill (Observe and Report). He also directed her in an excellent episode of Vice Principals with Danny McBride where she gets fired and destroys the office. Joined the sitcom Alice in season 5 as Jolene Honeycutt. Was almost in the Private Benjamin tv series but ultimately landed on Alice. Sitcom money paid for her UES apartment. Nancy Walker directed many episodes of Alice, and once came over and told her she was “a real lady.” Matthew McCounaghey’s character in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days was originally supposed to be from Staten Island. Has performed Bavarian (Snow Falling on Cedars) and Czech (The Invasion) accents M Night Shyamalan put the cast of The Village through a 19th century bootcamp so they could get that authenticity right Cast as Tom Cruise’s mom in Knight and Day (she’s 10 years older than him) Plays Lady Ambrosia on a crazy episode of The Blacklist. If she fell down a well in real life and could only call one person from the cast of Poms, she’d call Diane Keaton. Did not read The Secret but co-starred in the film. Plays Cate Blanchett’s aunt in The Talented Mr. Ripley and was in the opera scene when Matt Damon had to produce a single tear. While on Alice, she competed on Battle of the Network Stars (1984) and her CBS team beat ABC and NBC
I'm joined once again by the highly entertaining, encyclopedic film critic and lawyer Nell Minow of MovieMom.com and RogerEbert.com for a timely episode on fall and Halloween movies you're sure to enjoy.Fast-paced and fresh, whether she's discussing the vacations taken by Alan Alda and Carol Burnett in The Four Seasons, Haynes at his most Sirkian in Far From Heaven, the nonsensical joys of Hitchcock's The Trouble With Harry, or those geniuses at Laika studios, Nell delivers great film insights with a friendliness that makes her both a must-listen and a must-read.Originally Posted on Patreon (10/24/20) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/43110692Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive
We celebrate curiosity’s role in discovery, and regret its potential for damage. Mature curiosity demands that we embrace the confusion, doubt and anxiety inherent in engaging new ideas and complex problems. Social curiosity requires discernment: are we genuinely and empathically interested in others, or simply indulging voyeurism via social media? Curiosity can lead us into thrill seeking, but lack of it dulls our libido for life. Is it grandiosity, ambition, or impulsive desire that is tweaking our interest—or is curiosity leading us into purpose, service and the numinous? We need to be curious about curiosity: what are we enacting--and why? In the unrestrained theater of our dreams even the most disallowed outer-world scenarios are played out. Dreams can do much to satiate and integrate the shadowy curiosities of the inner world if we remember, record, and reflect on them. Dream I am in a dreary kind of industrial place full of single-story warehouse or farm type sheds/buildings - everything is grey. I don't relish being there but I am resigned to it. I look up again at the shed I'm standing next to and am surprised to see a beautiful mural has appeared on it's concrete apex (the triangular bit under the roof) - I don't remember exactly the image but it is full of blue and movement. I walk on to the next smaller row of sheds and in one I find skeletal figure of a man who is very sick and being tended to. The man is more skeleton than person, he has no eyes, only eye sockets for example, and is blackened/scorched: parts of his flesh seem about to fall away. I remember him as a famous actor, someone once very charismatic and good-looking, it is terrible to see him reduced to this. He is being moved from bed to chair by two nurse-type figures whom I do not see clearly. I go to help and hold his head - I am disgusted a little but also terrified that his head will come away in my hands if I am not careful enough. Once he is installed I move away. I find myself in another larger room next door where a group of people I do not know are gathered for a purpose I do not understand. I leave and go back out into the grey yard, but then feel an urge to reconnect with the man. I find another of these nurse-type figures who tells me he is with his wife and family now. I feel a little disappointed/left out but also glad for him that even in his repulsive/decrepit state he is surrounded by loved ones and is cared for. References:Giorgio Tricarico.

After a longer than intended hiatus (it was meant to be a 'slow' podcast, but not this slow...), the That's Not My Age podcast is back with a magnificent guest. One of my Style Heroines, the Academy-Award-Winning costume designer Sandy Powell. With three Oscars on her South London mantlepiece, for: Shakespeare in Love (1999), The Aviator (2005) and The Young Victoria (2010), Powell's creative talent is undoubtable. Beginning in 1992 with a nomination for Orlando, directed by Sally Potter and starring Tilda Swinton, she has been nominated for 15 Academy Awards and 16 Baftas. The 60-year-old costume designer has worked on over 40 films including five Martin Scorsese flicks, probably because, ‘Scorsese is a shoe man. He always gets in a good shot of the shoes.’ As well as behind the scenes on iconic fashion movies such as Todd Haynes' Far From Heaven, Velvet Goldmine and Carol; and The Favourite by Yorgos Latimos (Olivia Coleman won an Oscar for her performance as Queen Anne).In this special episode we chat about her philanthropic work, her exciting career, sustainability and how Sandy feels about ageing.

First Draft Episode #227: Courtenay Hameister Courtenay Hameister, debut author of memoir Okay Fine Whatever: The Year I Went From Being Afraid of Everything to Only Being Afraid of Most Things, and former host, co-producer and head writer of Live Wire Radio. Links and Topics Mentioned In This Episode Books by Beverly Cleary (author of Ramona Quimby, Age 8, Beezus and Ramona, and The Mouse and the Motorcycle) and and Judy Blume (author of Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret, Forever, and Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing) and The Crystal Cave series by Mary Stewart were some of Courtenay’s favorites growing up Create More, Fear Less is an organization in Portland Courtenay volunteers with that works with anxious kids While Courtenay went to New York University, she had the chance to work with legendary comedy group The State. The State — made up of Kevin Allison, Michael Ian Black, Robert Ben Garant, Todd Holoubek, Michael Patrick Jann, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Thomas Lennon, Joe Lo Truglio, Ken Marino, Michael Showalter, and David Wain — was formed in 1998 and had a self-titled comedy sketch show on MTV from 1992-1995. You can learn more about the history of the group in The Union of the State by Corey Stulce. Members of The State went on to create Reno 911, which is coming back! “The 7,000 Dollar Pyramid,” is one of The State’s sketches that Courtenay remembers Robert Ben Garant writing Writing Movies For Fun and Profit: How We Made a Billion Dollars at the Box Office, and You Can, Too! by former State members and co-writers Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant The Joan Didion quote Courtenay paraphrases is, “I don't know what I think until I write it down.” Some of Courtenay’s favorite guests from her many years of hosting Live Wire include: comedian, storyteller, director and actor Mike Birbiglia, who is best known for Sleepwalk With Me, which was also a comedy special and a New York Times bestselling book, Sleepwalk with Me and Other Painfully True Stories, and his new comedy special, The New One is also going to be a book, coming out in May 20202, The New One: Painfully True Stories from a Reluctant Dad; Carrie Brownstein, guitarist with Sleater-Kinney (who have a new CD in 2019, The Center Won’t Hold), co-creator and writer of TV show Portlandia, and author of memoir Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl; director Todd Haynes (who has directed Velvet Goldmine, Far From Heaven, and this year’s Dark Waters; Cheryl Strayed, author of Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life From Dear Sugar and memoir Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail; and David Rakoff, humorist and author of Fraud: Essays, Don't Get Too Comfortable: The Indignities of Coach Class, The Torments of Low Thread Count, The Never- Ending Quest for Artisanal Olive Oil, and Other First World Problems Courtenay’s friend Daniel H. Wilson wrote Robopocalypse: A Novel (which was optioned by Steven Spielberg, but after some delays has now been thrown over to Michael Bay) was the one who introduced Courtenay to his agent, Laurie Fox, who is an author in her own right, of The Lost Girls: A Novel and My Sister From the Black Lagoon: A Novel of My Life. Jean Garnett at Little, Brown was Courtenay’s editor Courtenay super recommends Sleepwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer (and, oh my god, would you look at that, he also has a TED talk!) The Oprah and James Frey controversy which exploded over his memoir, A Million Little Pieces, is an inevitable reference point for a conversation about what “truth” means in the memoir category Courtenay’s recommendation for David Carr’s memoir, Night of the Gun: A Reporter Investigates the Darkest Story of His Life. His Own, was so persuasive that I bought the audiobook that night! I admit to being a complete comedy nerd, and having recently mightily enjoyed John Hodgman’s collection of personal essays, Medallion Status: True Stories From Secret Rooms. Jennifer Pastiloff (author of On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real, and Listening Hard) and Lidia Yuknavitch (author of memoir The Chronology of Water and Verge: Stories, out Feb. 4, 2020!) teach a class called “Writing and the Body” that incorporates yoga and writing to enrich personal stories. Humor writer Steve Almond, author of Bad Stories: What Just Happened to Our Country? and William Stoner and the Battle For the Inner Life: Bookmarked. Writers Samantha Irby (author of We Are Never Meeting in Real Life: Essays, Meaty: Essays and omg she has a new one coming out this year, Wow, No Thank You!) and Jenny Lawson, aka The Blogess (author of Let’s Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir and Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things), were bloggers before they had books, and they indicate the kind of conversational writing style that Courtenay tends to naturally align with in her writing Elizabeth Gilbert’s 2009 TED Talk, “Your Elusive Creative Genius” Dan Harris, author of 10% Happier Revised Edition: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story, and Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-to Book Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking and her TED talk on the subject of introverts Courtenay admires Michael Ian Black’s evolution as a writer. Especially significant to her was his honesty in the memoir Navel Gazing: True Stories of Bodies, Mostly Mine (But Also My Mom’s, Which I Know Sounds Weird). His newest book, A Better Man, tackles toxic masculinity in the form of letters to his son as he goes off to college. I have always dreamt of being able to link to an article about Jeff Bezos’s dick pics (just kidding but here we go): this incident was wild - The National Enquirer allegedly tried to blackmail Jeff Bezos, threatening to release intimate pictures of him unless he paid up. Instead, Bezos released the pics himself and told them to screw off. It was wild. It was great. That incident calls to mind So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson “To Fall in Love With Anyone, Do This,” the Modern Love essay by Mandy Len Catron, references Dr. Arthur Aron’s study, which included 36 questions to generate intimacy. (And hey, look at that, Mandy has TED talks about love stories, too!) I want to hear from you! Have a question about writing or creativity for Sarah Enni or her guests to answer?

On this episode of G&T, Greta & Taylor consider two movies starring the good and great Patricia Clarkson. Can she make enough of a stamp as a character actress to put her identity onto the larger canvasses of her projects? Does white performative 'wokeness' affect a 2019 reading of Far From Heaven? Can Welcome to Collinwood rise above the moniker of "greaseball Ocean's Eleven?" We'll get into all this and more on this week's G&T!
With Pride Month 2019 winding down, James and Brian take a look at two queer films that share more than just an actress in Julianne Moore. For the first time, we're talking two queer films from two queer filmmakers! Each film takes a look back at where we've been with Far From Heaven taking place in the 1950's. In the era of Leave It to Beaver and Donna Reed, Todd Haynes' film showcases a woman who learns her loving husband is gay and must deal with the fallout. First time filmmaker Tom Ford takes us to the 1960's, where the titular single man, Colin Firth, loses his lover in a tragedy and spends the film planning his last day on Earth.

In this episode, I explore Todd Haynes's 2002 film, "Far From Heaven." It's an homage to 1950s melodramas and stars Julianne Moore as Cathy Whitaker, a Connecticut housewife who develops a deep connection to her African American gardener (Dennis Haysbert) while her marriage starts to crumble when her husband (Dennis Quaid) starts struggling with his repressed homosexuality. I talk about melodrama, woman's films, Douglas Sirk, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, how the film looks at race, sexuality, and gender, and much more! Spoilers are in this episode.

This week's episode has been a long-time coming. We reckon Edith spoke to director Todd Haynes just before Christmas - after his latest film Wonderstruck received a 3 minute standing ovation at last year's Cannes film festival - and we've been desperate to share our chat ever since. Well, the moment has come, as Wonderstruck finally gets an official UK release - though you may already have been lucky enough to see it on Amazon. Based on the bestselling novel by Brian Selznick, who also wrote the screenplay, Wonderstruck intertwines two stories set 50 years apart about children Rose and Ben, both of whom are on quests to find their parents. In a novel twist, Rose's story plays out as a black and white silent movie, which presented various challenges for composer Carter Burwell. As well of plenty of examples of Carter's score, you'll also hear music from Thom Yorke, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Billie Holiday and more.

Celebrate the SCORSESE exhibition and join one of the master filmmaker’s long time collaborators, BAFTA and Oscar winning designer Sandy Powell OBE, as she delivers a masterclass on costume design and gives a fascinating insight into her extraordinary career. From working closely with Scorsese on films including The Aviator, Gangs of New York and Wolf of Wall Street, to the collaborative process of designing costume for celebrated films such as Carol and Cinderella, the acclaimed designer will appear at ACMI for a special night of conversation hosted by Associate Professor Jessica Bugg (School of Fashion and Textiles, RMIT) to explore her iconic work, her influences, and her creative partnerships with Scorsese and a range of legendary filmmakers. Powell, who has won the Academy Award for Costume Design three times for Shakespeare in Love (1998), The Aviator (2004), and The Young Victoria (2009), and has been nominated a total of twelve times, is renowned for her ability to form long lasting, creative collaborations with a diverse range of auteurs. Across a career spanning over 3 decades, Powell has helped shape the celebrated films of Derek Jarman (Caravaggio, The Last of England), Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, Michael Collins, The Butcher Boy), Todd Hayes (Velvet Goldmine, Far From Heaven, Carol) and of course, Martin Scorsese. When it comes to working with Scorsese – with whom she has worked with on six films to date – Powell says there is always serious attention to detail. "When an actor comes onto the set wearing a costume for the first time, he'll actually go and touch them and touch the cloth," she states. "He's always very interested." Providing a rare insight into her interconnected work with such celebrated directors, Powell will explore her own creative processes and will look back over a body of work that has positioned her as one of the most highly acclaimed designers in the film industry in this very special masterclass event.
The two fascinating collaborations between director Todd Haynes and actor Julianne Moore, 1995's SAFE and 2002's FAR FROM HEAVEN are the primary topics of this episode. Detours include: what defines a movie musical, unseen Altman movies and Pacific Rim vs. Godzilla. Recorded at Vidiots in Santa Monica. Hosted by Clay Keller and Darren Franich.

On this episode Todd Haynes' new film CAROL inspires NOT ONLY a conversation with Dave from Pop Culture Case Study on this Cate Blanchett/Rooney Mara romance, but ALSO a previous Haynes' movie in FAR FROM HEAVEN.

John Malkovich make a record, a Southern rocker relocates to Portland, kids confront gentrification and sneakers become high fashion. Change is afoot in this week’s State of Wonder.Malkovich On VinylActor and director John Malkovich has powerhouse interpretive skills and a knack for transformation that has carried iconic performances in films such as “Dangerous Liaisons,” “Of Mice and Men,” “In the Line of Fire” and, of course, as a fictional actor-turned-puppeteer in "Being John Malkovich." His greatest asset might be his voice, which is front and center in a new avant-garde record, “Like a Puppet Show.” We talked with him during the album's national release at Music Millennium.Portland filmmaker Todd Haynes’ "Carol"One of Portland’s most famous directors, Todd Haynes, captured our attention with experimental classics “Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story” and “Poison” and held it with "Far From Heaven” and the HBO miniseries “Mildred Pierce.” His latest film, "Carol," about the love that dare not speak its name, stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. It’s racking up raves, including a best actress award for Mara at Cannes, and one of the most insightful reviews comes from critic David Edelstein for Fresh Air. It opens in Portland on Dec. 25.Dreamscapes in AstoriaDarren Orange of Astoria paints large, bold, abstract landscapes that are collected inside and outside Oregon. His moody treatments and strong color communicate coastal land and water with force and energy. He tells us about his latest exhibition, “Cascadian Slipstream,” which opens in downtown Astoria at 1198 Commercial St. on Dec. 12 and runs through Jan. 3. Drive-By Trucker Rolls Into PortlandOver the past couple of decades, Patterson Hood and his band, the Drive-By Truckers, have become standard-bearers for a unique strain of Southern rock – scorching and also super-thoughtful. Now, as the band releases a sprawling live album, Hood is spreading his wings. He turned heads with a recent essay in The New York Times Magazine about the Confederate flag and he recently relocated to Portland. Jerad Walker of opbmusic caught up with Patterson at Wordstock. Hood plays solo shows at the Doug Fir Lounge Dec. 9 and 16.A YA Sensation About Portland GentrificationAs a teenager in the 1990s, Renee Watson watched her friends and neighbors get priced out of Northeast Portland. Although she has since moved to New York, Watson’s new young adult novel, “This Side of Home,” is set in Portland and explores gentrification through the eyes of teenaged twins who come down on different sides of the issue. What’s The Most Expensive Book At Powell’s?Thousands wander through Powell’s City of Books in downtown Portland everyday, browsing through more than one million titles. As OPB’s John Rosman learned, there is one book that almost no one — including staff — is able to see. It’s locked away in a secret location and only taken out for serious buyers.Portland: The Center Of The Sneaker Universe? Portland has been called the Paris or Milan of sneakers, and that’s a big deal. “Sneakerheads,” who collect the shoes, have helped U.S. sales for Nike, Adidas and Under Armour sneakers soar 47 percent since 2009, and all three companies have major presences in Portland. OPB’s John Sepulvado hit the pavement to find out more about how sneaker fashion transforms Portland’s streets.Rapping Like The PopeThis week, Pope Francis set the Twitterverse on fire with a photo taken during his historic tour of Africa that looks like his Holiness is … well, rapping. Wags have been posting papal rhymes to Twitter with the hashtag #popebars. We asked Portland’s own Elton Cray, of Elton Cray and the Pariahs, to read some of the best ones for us. For example:“I murder these bars like Cain did to Abel /Better call me Charlie cause I'm surrounded by angels"
