In episode 67, we're talking about James Baldwin's If Beale Street Could Talk, a novel that explores the love story between Tish and Fonny, two young African Americans living in 1970s New York City.Between Fonny's wrongful imprisonment and Tish's preparation for their child, it seems as though they have every reason to lose hope, but Baldwin's frank writing style blends together the hope and fear throughout the book. The result is a beautiful and heart-wrenching portrayal of love in the face of adversity.Got something to say?

"If Beale Street Could Talk" is great film that deals with injustice and how to get through it out. The tale is embodied by Tish & Fonny, who are beyond in love, separated by bars due to a crime Fonny was wrongfully convicted of. Tish is carrying Fonny's baby and with support of her family, they try to turn things around. But like life, there are challenges that one must get by with no guarrantee and that's what I love from the film personally, the fact that we're seeing a window to these fictional people's lives and seeing what their realities are. Barry Jenkins did a great job writing and directing this film, showing us how breaking the fourth wall has more dimensions than it seems. The eyes, they never lie. We see these characters be these characters to the truest nature, which is another thing I talk about, highlighted with excellent cinematography that teaches how to use light to set a tone or distress it. Enjoy.#ifbealestreetcouldtalk #barryjenkins #love
The gang gets locked up for a crime they didn't commit this week, as they review Barry Jenkin's follow up to Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk (2018). With a stacked cast, and dripping with 70's east coast vibe, this movie follows Fonny and Tish, as they do their best to live their lives and start a family in a country that hates them for no other reason than the color of their skin. Come for the beautiful cinematography, stay for the heart wrenching story and masterclass acting. http://www.MCFCpodcast.com-Email us at MCFCpodcast@gmail.com -Leave us a voicemail (209) 730-6010-Get some merch:https://middle-class-film-class.creator-spring.com/-Sponsor - N/AJoseph Navarro Pete Abeytaand Tyler Noe
The ladies return this week with a tragic love story. This episode was dedicated to Black Love and Gary, the boy next door. (*Side note: Moni couldn't hear Kat's dedication while recording so for the record she doesn't think it's fantastic that Gary was falsely imprisoned.) Moving on!! James Baldwin's “If Beale Street Could Talk” “is told through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child. Baldwin's story mixes the sweet and the sad. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of rape and imprisoned.”(Amazon summary) Although topics in this book triggered Kat, especially the discussion around the mass incarceration of black men, it wasn't all sad. Moni and Kat got nostalgic about their childhood and managed to have some laughs.

He wasn't anybody's nigger. And that's a crime, in this fucking free country. You're suppose to be somebody's nigger. And if you're nobody's nigger, you're a bad nigger: and that's what the cops decided when Fonny moved downtown.” ― James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk

Host Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle/Olomidara Yaya discusses the theme of grieving. From discussing how grieving can be a way to access honoring the dead by aiming to live our lives more fully in the present and the difference between letting go of the past/the colonial violence within being told to forget the past. Hinkle/Yaya explores her grieving methods of 2016 and how it relates to what it means to be creative in the face of massive loss of lives, separation from loved ones, and having dreams deferred. She discusses the difficulty of what it means to be creative during this time of grieving and offers some catalyst for how we can channel that grief into actions that extend outside of the market of productivity during this time. She asks listeners to do something that will allow them to thrive in the midst of death and destruction something that may seem like the most insignificant and mundane yet life-giving at the same time. Hinkle/Yaya also reads an excerpt from James Baldwin's If Beale Street Could Talk, published by Dial Press in 1974. The featured passage discusses Fonny's interior turmoil as he tries to process being jailed for a crime that he did not commit while he has a baby on the way. During this selected passage Baldwin paints a powerful portrait of Fonny trying to make a bust of his beloved fiancé Tish, but awakens within the belly of the prison industrial complex. Hinkle/Yaya meditates on this passage and how it relates to mass incarceration, theft of time and life, and what it means to find a way to thrive in the face of massive injustice.

We return to Barry Jenkins' If Beale Street Could Talk, his sumptuous romantic drama set in 1970s New York, for a deep dive, and take the opportunity to revisit his previous film, 2016's Best Picture winner Moonlight. It's an enriching conversation and we're glad we took the time to engage in it. We begin with Moonlight, working through our responses to what we experienced differently since having seen it previously (Mike last saw it during its cinema release, while José has seen it a few times on more recent occasions). The film's final third is given serious thought, José in particular enjoying the opportunity to properly work through his longstanding problems with it, which amount to the film's fear of the sex in homosexuality, its conscious refusal to openly and honestly depict two gay men being intimate - the film denies them even a kiss at the very end - and the critical establishment's bad faith in refusing to engage with this particular point. It's great to have finally discussed this topic, particularly paying close attention to the final few shots, where the problems are condensed and made perfectly clear; as José says, it's an itch he's wanted to scratch for a long time. Moving on to Beale Street, we re-engage with some points we brought up in our first podcast, such as the dissonance between the opening intertitle's invocation of drums and the soundtrack's absence of them, and the relative richness of the characters that surround Tish and Fonny to the central couple. And we draw out new observations and thoughts, in particular returning on a few occasions to the conversation between Fonny and Daniel, discussing the lighting that drops them into deep shadow, picking up just the lightest outlines of their features as if to expose their souls instead, and how shot selection, editing and the use of a rack focus develop the drama and bring the characters together but simultaneously isolate Daniel within his own traumatic experiences. Mike picks up on a motif of redness in their eyes, acknowledging that the reading he offers is always going to be a stretch but finding it meaningful nonetheless. We discuss the use of photo montages to reach for the universality of experience that the title implies and we felt was an issue the first time around, José describing how they thematically focus the film on black male incarceration and the lived experience of black masculinity in the United States. Mike feels that it's a bit of a hangout movie, wanting to spend time with the characters and in their world, despite - perhaps because of? - the hardships they experience and discuss at times; certainly because of the romantic transparency, the care and love that characters show for each other, and the richness of their conversations. José finds fault with how the Latinx characters are lit and generally visually portrayed to less than their best, arguing that they were excluded from the visual romance that bathes the rest of the film. And we see direct comparisons between Beale Street and Moonlight. Beale Street's sex scene is an obvious point of discussion with respect to Moonlight's ending, but we also find parallels in the elements that depict or imply betrayal between friends, Moonlight's hazing scene and Daniel's ostensible usefulness as an exculpatory witness for Fonny sharing complexities around whether the betrayals they depict are truly betrayals. A hugely enriching discussion that we had great fun having, thanks to two intricate, beautiful, thought-provoking films. Recorded on 21st February 2019.
Achingly romantic and visually rapturous, If Beale Street Could Talk, Barry Jenkins' adaptation of James Baldwin's 1974 novel of the same name, utterly bowls Mike over, while José expresses some reservations about it, despite also finding it enormously impressive. A love story set in New York City in the late 60s/early 70s, the film follows Tish (KiKi Layne) and Fonny (Stephan James) as they fall in love, begin to build a life together, but are threatened with its destruction by a racist cop and a false accusation of rape. The title refers to a street in New Orleans that Baldwin, and subsequently Jenkins, use as a metaphor for the black experience across America, and arguably this is overambitious (if not simply impossible). The universality implied by the title is dissonant with what the film offers, which is much more personal and idiosyncratic. José points out the lack of anger in the film, anger that would be absolutely justified to express given both the general institutional racism the characters face in their place and time, and the specific instance of racist behaviour to which they are subjected: the rape accusation. Instead of fury, we see coping, survival, sadness, resistance and love, all communicated with an extraordinary depth of feeling and a camera that finds the beauty and subtlety in everyone's face. And ultimately this is wonderful, it's just that the title and opening intertitle that explains it somehow don't seem to quite understand their own story. There's a huge amount we discuss, including the narration; the film's excursion to Puerto Rico and how its depiction of the experience of Latinx people might or might not offer an interesting comparison to its central interest, the African-American community; how Brian Tyree Henry shows up for a scene and steals the entire film; how the film aims for visual poetry; how Jenkins conveys rich sense of different people's lives and environments with just a few shots; and how the film chokes you up with its incredibly tactile depth of feeling that is sustained more or less throughout. We also bring up comparisons to Green Book, Get Out, and in particular, Moonlight, Jenkins' previous film - José has issues with how he copped out of giving his story of a gay black boy's difficulties growing up an honest ending, and takes issue with how viscerally one feels Tish's desire for Fonny due to the way he's shot, finding it even more disappointing than before that Jenkins didn't do the same in Moonlight. It's a film we want to see again, infectious and emotionally rich, and if you don't see it in a cinema you're missing out. It's great. Recorded on 8th February 2019.

Sam iinterview actor Stephan James on Barry Jenkins' radical empathy, James Baldwin, black love stories and British slang! Sam and Ava will be back in a new studio and with fantastic new guests in April! IF BEALE STREET COULD is out in UK cinemas on 8th Feb 'Like James Baldwin’s Best Work, If Beale Street Could Talk Contains Multitudes Barry Jenkins’s follow-up to Moonlight, starring KiKi Layne and Stephan James as a pair of lovers torn asunder, is a triumph.' 'Barry Jenkins makes movies about black love. His 2008 debut, Medicine for Melancholy, chronicled a one-night stand turned burgeoning romance in a maddeningly gentrifying San Francisco. Moonlight, his wonderful follow-up and 2016 best-picture winner, is a coming-of-age story about a fatherless queer boy set among the impoverished Miami neighborhoods that were once home to Jenkins himself. Its endgame isn’t sex, or even necessarily sexuality, but something even more rare in movies: pure, loving intimacy between black men, sexual and not. Now comes If Beale Street Could Talk, Jenkins’s extraordinary adaptation of James Baldwin’s soulful 1974 novel. It’s a lush, courageous black melodrama set in 1970s New York, a story about love defying injustice—or trying its damndest to. Tish (newcomer KiKi Layne), 19, and Fonny (Stephan James), 22, were once childhood playmates—chubby, laughing babes taking baths together, being raised alongside one another, despite yawning differences between their families’ social and religious beliefs. Fonny’s mother is extremely devout, as are his sisters. Tish and her sister, Ernestine (Teyonah Parris), are more modern: well-raised, hard-working women who nevertheless curse in front of their parents.'

On this week's episode of the Curzon Film Podcast we speak to Moonlight director, Barry Jenkins, about his new film, If Beale Street Could Talk, and we discuss All Is True with none other than Sir Kenneth Branagh.We start with If Beale Street Could Talk. Adapted from the novel by celebrated author, James Baldwin, it follows the romance between Fonny and Tish, two young lovers living in 1970s Harlem, New York. Their love is tested to its limits when Fonny is wrongly imprisoned, and the fight for justice takes a heavy toll on the young couple's lives. Once again taking social realist material and blending it with a poetic eye, Jenkins' film simply glows off the screen.Later in the episode we look at Sir Kenneth Branagh's All Is True, which tells the little known story of Sir William Shakespeare's humble retirement. Written by Ben Elton and directed by Sir Kenneth, this is a new take on Shakespeare that collects together the cream of British acting talent (including Sir Ian McKellen and Dame Judi Dench) and is shot with an elegance and beauty, as well as a pitched honesty, that is a tribute to the Bard.Discussing the films this week are Kelly Powell, Ella Kemp, Jake Cunningham and Steven RyderFollow the team on Social Media:@ks_powell - Kelly@jakehcunningham - Jake@irma_pep - Steven@efekemp - EllaProduced by Jake CunninghamEdited by Mark Towers Hosted on Acast.

Harlem est tout petit pour Tish et Fonny qui s’aiment d’un aussi grand amour. Ces deux ami·e·s d’enfance attendent leur premier enfant. Accusé d’un viol qu’il n’a pas commis, Fonny – joué par un Stephan James très émouvant – se retrouve derrière les barreaux. Tiré du roman de James Baldwin du même nom, ce film raconte, avec une incroyable modernité, une histoire d’amour impossible avec en toile de fond le racisme ordinaire d’une Amérique des années 1970 .D’une beauté digne d’un film de Wong Kar-wai, ces images font de « Si Beale Street pouvait parler » une peinture sublime dans la lignée esthétique de son oscarisé « Moonlight ». Avec les sorties de Spike Lee, Ryan Coogler, Boots Riley ou encore Steve McQueen, l’année 2018 aura permis de révéler la grande diversité du cinéma afro-américain.Animé par Thomas Rozec avec David Honnorat et Perrine Quennesson.RÉFÉRENCES CITÉES DANS L’ÉMISSIONI Am Not Your Negro (Raoul Peck, 2016), Si Beale Street pouvait parler (James Baldwin, éd.

Brandon, Sharmane and Rashanii are back to review one of the best films of the year If Beale Street Could Talk. "I Hope Nobody has ever had to look at anybody they love through glass" - James Baldwin. This film by Barry Jenkins (Best Picture; Moonlight) brings Balwin's fictional story to live in a very real way. This story tackles racial injustice, sexual assault, the criminal justice system and black family love in a way that respects all aspects of those topics while not creating a black torture porn film that we often get (See Detroit). This film follow the love story of Tish (Kiki Layne) and Fonny (Stephen James) as they fight to get Fonny out of jail from being falsely accused of rape.
