Muchas películas rezagadas de la pasada temporada aprovechan estas semanas de primavera para buscar su sitio en la cartelera. Es el caso de 'The End', un musical apocalíptico con Tilda Swinton y George Mackay que compitió en el pasado Festival de San Sebastián. Por allí también pasó el incansable Costa-Gavras con 'El último suspiro', un drama sobre la muerte digna y los cuidados paliativos. De Hollywood llegan propuestas como 'El contable 2' o películas de terror, y el cine español trae dos interesantes óperas primas, 'La isla de los faisanes', sobre la situación de los inmigrantes en la frontera de Euskadi y Francia, y 'Todo lo que no sé', un retrato de una treintañera frustrada entre el trabajo y los cuidados. En televisión, recibimos a Blanca Martínez y Carlos González por el estreno de 'Mariliendre'.
This episode features a conversation with film director, Joshua Oppenheimer. It was recorded in March 2025.Joshua gained notoriety through his documentaries The Act of Killing and The Look of Silence, which, amongst their many accolades, gained him Academy Award and BAFTA nominations. In fact, back in 2012, it was his extraordinarily beautiful and bizarre film, The Act of Killing, which follows former Indonesian death-squad leaders in reenacting their mass-killings through cinematic set pieces and lavish musical numbers, that put Joshua on my radar. The Guardian called it “The most compelling thing you'll ever see.” I tend to agree. His latest film, entitled The End, hit cinemas in the UK and Germany last week.The End stars Tilda Swinton, Michael Shannon, and George MacKay, as a wealthy family living isolated lives in a luxurious bunker, two decades after an environmental catastrophe renders Earth's surface uninhabitable. But this isn't your run-of-the-mill, seen-it-before disaster take, The End is a genre-bending tale that urges us to reconsider the illusions we hold about the fate of our planet and, perhaps crucially, our role in shaping that fate. Amongst other things, Joshua and I discussed The End, why we often find living in lies a more comforting situation than facing reality, and the need to challenge the silence and the self-deception that is all around us when it comes to climate.Additional links: The End is out now in Germany and the UK.

We start on a director's chair. We pull back to reveal its back. On it is emblazoned a name. That name? George MacKay, the wonderful star of this week's thought-provoking original movie musical, Joshua Oppenheimer's The End, who pops into the podbooth to have a good old natter [from 30:49 - 48:20 approx] with... We pull back. It's another director's chair. On it, another name: Chris Hewitt. Everyone shrugs their shoulders. But wait! There's another chair, and another name! That name is Irwin Winkler, the legendary producer of Rocky, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Irishman, Creed, and now The Alto Knights, as he talks to Chris about going double De Niro on that movie. [1:00:37 - 1:17:11 approx] And then there are three more chairs, with three more names, as Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and John Nugent join Chris in the podbooth for a topsy-turvy episode that flips the format of the show upside down. Our intrepid quartet answer a listener question about Double De Niro, review A Working Man, The Woman In The Yard, and Novocaine, and discuss the week's movie news, including the glacially-paced reveal of the cast of Avengers Doomsday, which was unfolding as we recorded this very show. But they don't necessarily do all of those things in that order. If you're not an MCU stan (or Stan), that discussion comes right at the end of the episode, so here's a rough time stamp should you wish to skip. [1:32:24 approx] For MCU fans, though, dive in. Enjoy.
This week on Screentime John Fardy talks to actor George MacKay about his role in the new apocalypse musical drama 'The End' as well as his roles in 1917 and being a child actor. Chris Wasser is also here with all the week's new cinema releases including the pain-less 'Novocaine'.

In return you'll get a whole extra Take 2 alongside Take 1 every week, with bonus reviews, more viewing recommendations from the Good Doctors and whole bonus episodes just for you. And if you're already a Vanguardista, we salute you. A smashy crashy action movie double bill on the review slate this week. First up, ‘Novocaine'—the action comedy where Jack Quaid plays Nathan Caine, a man born with a disorder that leaves him unable to feel pain. When the bank he works in is robbed and the girl of his dreams taken hostage, he discovers his physical quirk can be a superpower. But will it make Mark wince? Plus, The Stath returns in ‘A Working Man'--where he's Jason Statham, doing Stath things. That's probably all you need to know... but Mark will tell us where it's at in the Stath stakes. Our guest this week is none other than Gorgeous George MacKay, who plays ‘Son' in Josh Oppenheimer's post-apocalyptic bunker-musical (yes, you read that correctly) ‘The End'. Set 25 years after an environmental catastrophe leaves the earth uninhabitable, MacKay and his ‘Mother' (Tilda Swinton) and ‘Father (Michael Shannon) carry on a life of luxury and denial in their opulent underground shelter—where Son was born and raised, never having known life before. As Father writes a memoir nobody will read, and the family sing and dance their way through their bizarre existence in Golden-Age style, their brittle harmony is broken by the arrival of an unexpected guest. George tells Simon all about singing, dancing, having the most arthouse onscreen parents evs, and how his own new fatherhood has made him feel differently about the end of the world. Plus more correspondence on Flow from our Latvian listeners, the Milennium Bug from ‘Y2K' defenders, and of course Snow White--including a message from a young critic giving Mark a run for his money.

What is this Movie? A musical, set in an apocalyptic world covered in snow and ice, where a small collective has been surviving very well off in a luxurious bunker. While attempting to live out the rest of their days with silver-spoon syndrome an outsider separated from her family stumbles into their home and begs them to let her stay. They reluctantly allow her to stay where-in she and their only son develop a romantic relationship. But for everyone else, this outsider is a living reflection of their own shame and the atrocities they've committed and buried deep down in hopes to never resurface. What is this Film? It's an apocalyptic musical. It's whimsical Silo. It's Blast from the Past if Adam never actually went back to the surface but instead contracted a strong case of jungle fever. And then finds out his pompous parents are cowards and liars. The End is a story about a group of people who delusionally parade about their aristocracy to distract themselves from the fact that the world has ended, and they might be responsible for it. And this they were fine with, this disgrace all their own they had come to accept even maybe forgotten until one of the offspring of the last living survivors they abandoned decades ago forces them to wake up and remember who they really are and the horrible things they did for their own self-preservation. Billions of people died, and these people all just buried their guilt and survivor's remorse in walls of snow and ice surrounding themselves with meaningless privilege. In a world with no poor, how can there be any rich. What is power if there is nothing left to rule? If you leave humanity to die, are you still human? I couldn't get enough of Moses Ingram as Girl, yes that's her name, in this movie. I had no idea the woman could sing. Her duet “Catch Fire” with romantic co-star George MacKay has been living rent free in my head for days now. Her conviction on screen is palpable as she struggles with her own survivor's remorse after growing up in the cold is heart-wrenching. Every time she sings I think I started melting away into a big ball of man tears. Your boy is not a big musical fan but in an interview, George MacKay said something to the tune of “this was made for the big screen” and I have to agree. This film deserves your full attention from the moment MacKay as Boy reveals his desire to experience anything of the world he never got to know. He longs for the outside, longs to feel the sun, longs to express his emotions and talk about his feelings with his family, in hopes they reciprocate. But this is just not to be. Dad, played by Michael Shannon, has an established order. He treats Boy as if he's preparing him for the world, a world where you work on manifestos and read them aloud in your study, because this bunker has a damn study. Mom, Tilda Swinton, floats about from room to room nitpicking in the name of perfection. You never know when guest might be coming over. We must make sure there's enough soup spoons for everyone. And yet, you can see she's unstable and full of contempt. Everyone else in the house is just playing the role that keeps them sheltered. A Doctor, a Butler, a Friend, and Mary in addition to are all that makes up of what's left of humanity in this world. They even put on performances for entertainment where you can clearly see these people used to be people. They used to have real worth but now have been reduced to props. Beautifully, the real story here is told through the music. All of the emotions come out through song, which took me a while to pick up on. At first I thought they would just randomly sing short snippets of songs depending on where they were standing in the house. These aren't long ballads but instead short melodies, where the vocalist through subtle metaphors reveal their internal conflicts. They don't really sing and then cut to the next season as a way of transitioning through the plot poin...

For better or worse, Bertrand Bonello's The Beast is one of the most memorable movies of 2024. A discombobulating sci-fi trip through time that stars Lea Seydoux and George Mackay, it explodes the kernel of loneliness at the center of Henry James' 1903 novella - The Beast in the Jungle - into something much more...perplexing.
This week, the fellas go to ground in the Belorussian Forest and watch 2008's Defiance!

Not content to simply stay alive, they form a working commuinity deep in the woods and aid the Soviets in the fight against fascism and genocide. Next week: Brendan and Jason want to play a game.

It's an extreme Arthouse Tuesday here at Breakfast All Day. First, we have a super-early review of "Nosferatu," Robert Eggers' exceptionally crafted retelling of the classic vampire story. Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Willem Dafoe and Bill Skarsgard co-star. It comes out Christmas Day, but we couldn't wait to talk about it, so we're reviewing it now. Next is "The End," Joshua Oppenheimer's ambitious drama about a family living in an elaborate underground bunker after an environmental disaster. Did we mention it's a musical? Tilda Swinton, Michael Shannon, George MacKay and Moses Ingram co-star. In limited release this weekend. Finally, a palate cleanser: Our review of "Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary." The film takes an appreciative, nostalgic look at soft rock stars of the '70s like Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins and Christopher Cross, and how they've shaped pop culture decades later. This is the music of our childhood, so we loved this. Streaming now on Max. We'll back back on Friday with "Nightbitch," "Y2K" and Movie News LIVE!, so come on back then. Thanks for being here!

Michael Shannon is known for his intense and versatile performances across film, television, and theater—“Take Shelter,” “99 Homes,” “Nocturnal Animals,” “Boardwalk Empire,” “Long Days Journey Into Night,” “George and Tammy,” to name just a few. On this episode, he talks about his “simplistic” approach to preparation, the test he gives directors to see if he can trust them, the importance of “disappearing,” why he no longer likes to do endless takes, and much more. Plus he discusses his love for George Mackay, who plays “Son” to Shannon's “Father” in “The End,” Joshua Oppenheimer's post-apocalyptic musical which opens in select theaters December 6th. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from Filmmaker Magazine.

In the grand tradition of such intimate war epics as Dunkirk and Black Hawk Down, Oscar-winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall) directed this ground-level journey of two young British army privates (Dean-Charles Chapman, George MacKay) who are sent on an urgent mission during World War I to deliver a message that will hopefully stop 1,600 men from walking straight into a deadly trap set by the enemy. And everything which transpires on-screen is conducted within ONE continuous shot. :o One of the more acclaimed and successful war epics of recent years, this film nonetheless was dismissed by several as relying more on its central conceit than telling a compelling story....it was also nominated for ten Oscars including Best Picture, and ended up winning three.

The discussion will happen on October 13 at 12 p.m. EST. ** Toronto-based film critic Angelo Muredda joins Alex Heeney to discuss one of the biggest directorial swings at TIFF: Joshua Oppenheimer's The End. Starring Tilda Swinton, George MacKay, and Michael Shannon, the film is a musical about a rich family surviving in isolation in a salt mine bunker after the climate apocalypse. We discuss how the film works as a post-apocalyptic story and a musical, and how what we found interesting about the film may not be what Oppenheimer felt was most central. The End will be released in North America on December 6, 2024. The episode avoids major spoilers.

This week on End Credits we're getting weird. Now obviously, this show is always a little weird, but this week we're making it official by talking about movies that stray away from the normal path, and that includes the movie we're reviewing this week. First, we will look at "What the funk?!" movies, and then we will say "WTF?" about a French movie that's a Beast. This Wednesday, August 7, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: What the Funk Movies. The best part of watching a movie is when it surprises you, when it makes you say "What the funk?!" Well, when we say "funk" we mean another word that almost has all the same letters in the same order, but the feeling is the same; "What the funk did I just watch?!" To begin this week's show, we will turn out some of our favourite WTF? Movies, from the bizarre to the twisted to twist endings. REVIEW: The Beast/La Bête (2024). In the future, artificial intelligence controls everything and if you want to be a good human helper then you have to purge yourself of emotions. How do you do that? By examining your past lives. How bizarre. Léa Seydoux and George MacKay play lovers through time, each struggling with feelings of isolation and impending doom in 1910 Paris, 2014 Los Angeles, and the the cold indifferent future. So what are we to make of Bertrand Bonello's acclaimed trip through time, space, love and confusion? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm. PROGRAMMING NOTE: End Credits is taking the next two weeks off and will return with new episodes on Wednesday August 28.

To coincide with the release of his latest film The Beast (starring Léa Seydoux and George Mackay), writer/director Bertrand Bonello came on the podcast to talk about AI and technology, acting, connection, memory, music and perplexing cinema. It was an honour for Neil to talk filmmaking and cinema - taking in Eyes Wide Shut, David Lynch and Sunrise - for the podcast, as Neil and Dario are big admirers of Bonello's work and it's a privilege to have one of the world's most interesting contemporary filmmakers on the show. Highlights from the Episode: Perplexing Cinema: Bonello discusses his preference for films that engage viewers in active thought, asking questions rather than providing answers. Casting Insights: Learn about the challenges and triumphs of casting George McKay and the enigmatic Lea Seydoux, whose performances bring profound depth to the film. AI and Memory: The film's exploration of AI delves into the subjective nature of human memory and emotion, highlighting the inherent limitations of technology in capturing the human experience. Music as Narrative: Bonello's meticulous selection of music is more than an illustration—it's a narrative tool that enhances character and story. Cinematic Time: Discover how Bonello plays with time in his films, creating a fluid and immersive experience for the audience. The Beast is released by Vertigo Releasing on Friday May 31st in UK cinemas and marks the filmmaker's boldest and most cinematically adventurous film to date. It's one of the films of 2024 and The Cinematologists is proud to have welcomed Bertrand on the show to promote the film's release. Huge thanks to the publicist Chris Lawrance for making this conversation happen. — You can listen to The Cinematologists for free wherever you listen to podcasts: click here to follow.

Ep. 239: Bertrand Bonello on The Beast, Experimenting with AI, Crafting Melodrama, Reading Henry James, and more Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. Bertrand Bonello's latest film The Beast has been melting minds with its time-skipping saga of star-crossed lovers and strangers played by Léa Seydoux and George Mackay. Inspired by a Henry James story, The Beast spans three different time periods and pairings: a married woman and a suitor in the 1910s (Belle Époque), an actress and a madman in 2010's California, and a woman facing a fateful choice in a not-too-distant future where artificial intelligence promises to remove individual trauma. I chatted with the restless French auteur (Nocturama, Saint Laurent) about the struggle for connection across these stories, being tempted by AI, directing Mackay and Seydoux, and more. The Beast is in theaters now, and Bonello's previous feature, Coma, will have its first U.S. theatrical run on May 17.

Another seven movies on the docket for Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy and a lot of variations on horror. Not so much with the third film from director Goran Stolevski that Steve suggests a look at (Housekeeping for Beginners). But Larry Fessenden crafts a werewolf metaphor for America (Blackout), there is a new giant spider film (Sting), Nicolas Cage's sons, at least, fighting hairy snapping creatures (Arcadian) for a few minutes plus Lea Seydoux on the lookout from unimaginable dread for over a century (The Beast) and a new Woody Allen film (Coup de Chance). But the biggest discussion lies with the new film from Alex Garland whose title wants to say it all (Civil War). 0:00 - Intro 1:18 – Housekeeping for Beginners 9:47 – Blackout 22:21 – Coup de Chance 30:27 – Sting 41:34 – Arcadian 50:13 – The Beast 1:03:15 – Civil War 1:23:03 - Outro

This week we're excited to present a conversation with Léa Seydoux, lead actress of the 61t New York Film Festival Main Slate selection The Beast, which will open in our theaters on April 5. The Beast opens at FLC next Friday, April 5 View showtimes and get tickets at filmlinc.org/beast A filmmaker consistently unafraid to wade through the weird miasma of contemporary life, Bertrand Bonello (Nocturama; Coma, NYFF60) works from the outside in, dramatizing the psychological toll of the political and cultural world around us. Here he has created a dynamic and disturbing parable that jumps between three different time periods (1910, 2014, and 2044) to diagnose our acute—and perhaps eternal—feelings of estrangement and alienation. Using Henry James's haunting 1903 short story “The Beast in the Jungle” as his film's provocative inspiration, Bonello tells the story of a young woman (Léa Seydoux) who undergoes a surgical process to have her DNA—and therefore memories of all her past lives—removed. In so doing, she realizes her fate has long been intertwined, for better and worse, with a young man (George MacKay). Touching on modern anxieties of AI and incel culture, which may recur throughout history as commonly as love and hate, The Beast, like all good science-fiction, asks essential questions about the ever-shifting status of humanity itself. An NYFF61 Main Slate selection. A Sideshow and Janus Films release. This conversation was moderated by FLC's Vice President of Programming Florence Almozini.
You know the gifted actor George MacKay from films like “1917” or “True History of The Kelly Gang.” Now he has given us two absolutely incredible performances in “Femme” (in select theaters now) and “The Beast” (out on April 5th). On this episode, he takes us into his process of inhabiting these two extremely different characters. He explains why context is becoming more and more important to him in his preparation, talks about the actor as storyteller, the secret to appearing truly menacing, those sex scenes in “Femme,” a lesson about respect that he learned from Eddie Marsan, and much more. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft. Follow Back To One on Instagram

Eyes in the movie world turn to Berlin as its annual film showcase opens with a typically exciting roster, including the new release from French director André Téchiné starring Isabelle Huppert and Hafsia Herzi. Film critic Lisa Nesselson also tells us about a suitably surreal take on the master painter himself: “Daaaaaali!” is Quentin Dupieux's interpretation of the artist's unique persona. Meanwhile, Bertrand Bonello's latest film "The Beast" blends sci-fi and romance in a time-travelling jaunt that takes the central couple, played by Léa Seydoux and George MacKay, through two centuries. And we check out "Bob Marley: One Love", as the final years of the reggae star's life are revisited in a new biopic.

Joining Alex this week is the wonderful actor Nathan Stewart-Jarrett who can currently be seen alongside Gemma Arterton in the Disney+ crime drama Culprits and alongside George MacKay in the gripping new thriller Femme, out in cinemas now, that they just won Best Joint Lead Performance for at the BIFA's. Nathan then takes us on an incredible trip, talking about landing his role in the Candyman remake, why watching the excellent horror Hereditary is a wonderful memory and why watching the live-action remake of Cinderella is not. He talks his love affair (and a cheeky game he plays) with James Cameron's epic Titanic, and the Haley Joel Osment performance that gets him choked up. Also, the weird reason he doesn't get on with the much-loved sci-fi Arrival. All that, before he screens for us a seminal 60s horror classic. Nathan's new film 'Femme' is in UK cinemas now.Find us here: https://linktr.ee/triptomoviespodA Trip to the Movies is proudly sponsored by @ODEONCinemas - We Make Movies Better Hosted on Acast.

Yorkshire born actor, Samuel Edward-Cook made his screen debut in the BBC One series LAND GIRLS, before landing the role of Danny Whizz-Bang in the highly acclaimed and BAFTA award-winning crime drama PEAKY BLINDERS alongside Cillian Murphy, Joe Cole and Helen McCrory. Other television credits include the ITV miniseries BRIEF ENCOUNTERS, the ITV anthology series INNOCENT, the long-running BBC series SILENT WITNESS, and the Channel 4 comedy-drama PURE. Samuel will soon appear playing Ceri Davies in BETTER, a BBC series by Sister Pictures, the production company behind THIS IS GOING TO HURT, CHERNOBYL and GANGS OF LONDON, among many others. The crime drama follows a corrupt police detective who undergoes a major moral awakening and makes amends of her wrongdoings of the past. The series will also star Leila Farzad (I HATE SUZIE), Andrew Buchan and Anton lesser. Also in 2023, Samuel will play Isaac Hartley in Shane Meadows' highly anticipated BBC drama THE GALLOWS POLE, based on the novel of the same name by Benjamin Myers. Loosely based on true events, the six-part series set in 18th century Yorkshire will recount the rise and fall of David Hartley and the Crag Vale Coiners. The series will also star Michael Socha (PAPILLON), George Mackay (1917), Thomas Turgoose (THIS IS ENGLAND), Tom Burke (THE SOUVENIR) and Sophie McShera (DOWNTON ABBEY). As well as his screen credits, Samuel has numerous theatre credits, including BOYS for Headlong, directed by Robert Icke, Matthew Quintal in Richard Bean's PITCAIRN directed by Max Stafford-Clark, TITUS ANDRONICUS at Shakespeare's Globe, Edmund in Lucy Bailey's contemporary adaptation of KING LEAR, staring David Haigh and portraying Captain Wentworth in the Royal Exchange Theatre production of PERSUASION. His performance as Haimon in Ivo van Hove's production of ANTIGONE alongside Juliette Binoche attracted rave reviews, with theatre critic Stephen Collins praising his “passion” and "extraordinary range of emotions”. The play itself was described as “undeniably impressive” by The Independent and as a "production that combines a sombre aesthetic beauty with a sense of the ambivalence at the heart of Sophocles's play” by The Guardian.
*******SPOILER ALERT****** (MINOR SPOILERS FOR RANDOM ISH STARTING AT ABOUT 45MINS .. sorry beef forgot the alerts!!) Based on a true story, this 2014 film follows a group of gay and lesbian activists who lend their support to a Welsh mining village during the 1984-1985 miners' strike, uniting two very different communities in the process. Starring Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, Dominic West, Paddy Considine, Andrew Scott, George MacKay, Joseph Gilgun, and Ben Schnetzer, the film written by Stephen Beresford and directed by Matthew Warchus received critical acclaim and a Golden Globe nomination. Set against the backdrop of Margaret Thatcher's Britain, the film incorporates historical details and enough recognizable British talent to appeal to the Harry Potter crowd, but didn't exactly strike paydirt at the box office.
