Daniel Blake Schwartz breaks down how Tribeca Best U.S. Narrative Feature winner Cotton Fever grew out of years spent collecting stories during his own experience with addiction and recovery, ultimately transforming those fragments into a deeply personal debut feature. Drawing inspiration from filmmakers like Andrea Arnold and Hirokazu Kore-eda, Schwartz pursued a style rooted in realism, empathy, and lived experience rather than conventional dramatic structure.The film evolved from a self-funded short into an award-winning feature through grassroots fundraising, community support, a first-time filmmaker grant from Panavision, and the eventual attachment of actors Kyle Gallner and Sosie Bacon. Along the way, Schwartz navigated the uncertainty of first-time feature directing, discovering that some of the film's strongest moments emerged from vulnerability, collaboration, and instincts that couldn't always be explained on the page.At its core, Cotton Fever is a reminder that the most powerful stories often come from the experiences we're most hesitant to revisit. The challenge isn't always finding something meaningful to say. It's having the courage to tell the story that's already closest to you.What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

Vi porträtterar Barbra Streisand som får Hederspris i Cannes, träffar succéförfattaren Lisa Ridzén i Jämtland och författaren Leonardo Paduro på Kuba dessutom Klassikern om Both sides now. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Filmfestivalen i Cannes har dragit igång och i år är Hollywoods närvaro påtagligt mindre än den brukar vara. Juryordförande är den sydkoreanske filmskaparen Park Chan-wook och med i kampen om Guldpalmen är bland annat regissörer som Pedro Almodóvar, Asghar Farhadi, Pawel Pawilkowski och Hirokazu Kore-eda. Alla stjärnor förvisso, men när priserna delas ut 23 maj, blir det också med stjärnglans från Hollywood – Barbra Streisand får ta emot en Hedersguldpalm med motiveringen "Hon är den legendariska sammansmältningen mellan Broadway och Hollywood, mellan varieté- scen och storfilmsduken..." I dagens P1 Kultur tecknar Björn Jansson hennes porträtt.MÖTE MED DEN KUBANSKA FÖFATTAREN LEONARDO PADURALeonardo Padura är Kubas internationellt mest kände författare och han är översatt till mer än 20 språk, dock inte svenska. Paduras mest kända roman är "Mannen som älskade hundar", men numera får han inte sin böcker utgivna i hemlandet. Ändå fortsätter han att göra som han alltid gjort, skriva böcker och essäer. Ett priviligierat liv i ett land som annars präglas av en allt djupare ekonomisk och politisk kris. Lotten Collin, Sveriges Radios Latinamerika-korrespondent, har träffat den alltmer pessimistiska författaren.SUCCÉFÖRFATTAREN LISA RIDZÉNS LÅNGA VÄG TILL ANDRA ROMANENLisa Ridzéns debutroman "Tranorna flyger söderut" från 2024 har översatts till 43 språk och sålts i över 275 000 exemplar i Sverige. Dundersuccén borde bädda för Lisa Ridzéns bästa tid i livet, men en olycka satte stopp för all ork och arbete med hennes nästa roman. P1 Kulturs reporter Joakim Silverdal åkte hem till författaren i den jämtländska byn Heglede för att få höra hur det är med henne.KLASSIKERN: BOTH SIDES NOW AV JONI MITCHELLVeckans klassiker handlar om en låt som har åldrats parallellt med sin upphovskvinna - den kanadensiska-amerikanska sångerskan och låtskrivaren Joni Mitchells ”Both sides now”. Filmaren Richard Dinter har följt den i spåren, från mitten av sextiotalet till stora scenen på klassiska Newportfestivalen många decennier senare.Programledare Jenny TelemanProducent Maria Götselius

David Freyne's new Eternity shoves a thematically rich afterlife scenario into a romcom-shaped container, resulting in an above-average example of the genre that nonetheless feels like it's only scratching the surface of its narrative potential. That leaves us with a lot of logistical questions to mull in our discussion of the film — several of which Tasha addressed in her pair of conversations with Freyne over at Polygon — and also a lot of points of contrast when we bring Hirokazu Kore-eda's After Life back in for Connections. After Life and Eternity look and feel very different as they navigate the ins and outs of their respective postmortem bureaucracies, but both are ultimately concerned with characters being forced to make a single choice that will define their afterlives, what that choice says about what truly matters, and what the things we most value say about us. Those ideas pop up again in Your Next Picture Show, where Tasha offers an enthusiastic recommendation for the 2020 Edson Oda film Nine Days as an unofficial companion piece to After Life. Please share your thoughts about After Life, Eternity, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

The new fantasy romcom Eternity turns on a scenario familiar from any number of films that imagine life after death as a bureaucratic process, but its focus on characters forced to make big, symbolic choices for big, symbolic reasons is particularly reminiscent of After Life, Hirokazu Kore-eda's 1998 movie in which the recently departed are given one week to select a memory to take with them into the great beyond. While the functional logistics of After Life's post-life waystation are ultimately secondary to its heady ideas about memory and filmmaking, that doesn't stop us from talking through the ways this specific setting informs those ideas, and the various questions that arise from it. Then in Feedback, we tackle a listener's consternation with some of the choices Train Dreams makes in adapting its source material.

The fine, upstanding gentlemen of Pod Casty for Me, Jake Serwin and Ian Rhine, return to discuss Hirokazu Kore-eda's After Life, which follows a group of recently deceased people entering a state of limbo where counselors (also deceased) help them locate their most important memory and then go about the work of turning that memory into a film that they will watch forever in eternity. The film adopts, at least in part, a docu-fiction quality, assembling talking head interviews with several non-actors telling their memories directly to camera before becoming a treatise on art-making itself, considering how cinema reflects and retains memory. We begin with a discussion of Kore-eda's formalism, and how the director embraces both the erudite affect of slow cinema and the melodramatic dramaturgy of classical narrative to mixed effect. Then, we engage the film's high concept premise, how its emboldened by its ambiguities and where the film still feels grafted to terrestrial quotidian experience. Finally, we ponder the wide array of films that deal with the afterlife as a bureaucratic machine, and whether applying systemic order to something like death is a comforting fantasy or a cloistering nightmare.

'Art is labour'. This is a statement from composer Jung Jae-il, the man behind the iconic scores to Bong Joon-ho's Parasite, Okja, and Mickey 17, the Netflix smash hit Squid Game, and Hirokazu Kore-eda's Broker, amongst other works. For Jung Jae-il, the art of composing a score is work.For Jung Jae-il, artists like Roxette, Metallica and Björk are notable influences on his work, with Pina Bausch's dancing leaving a lingering mark on his mind. It's these kinds of artists who influenced Jung Jae-il on his solo album, Listen, released in 2023.For Jung Jae-il, there is a clear delineation between art for the self and art for a job, and it's with his work on Parasite that the distinction is felt, while his passion for his album Listen shows an artist in harmony with his craft.These are just some of the things discussed in the above interview with Jung Jae-il, recorded ahead of his performance of the live score for Parasite at the 2025 Melbourne International Film Festival.Jung Jae-il participates in a conversation with Caitlin Yeo on 23 August at MIFF, with the composer performing a live score for Parasite on 23 August over two sessions at MIFF.

Netflix's Asura marks the fourth iteration of the Takezawa sisters' story—last seen on-screen in the 2003 film Like Asura, which was nominated for Best Film in Japan. This year, acclaimed director Hirokazu Kore-eda (Shoplifters) expands the tale into a seven-episode series set in 1979 Tokyo, where four sisters discover their father's affair and watch their family bonds fray under hidden resentments and shifting alliances. Adapted from Kuniko Mukōda's classic Ashura no Gotoku, Asura blends humor and heartbreak with Kore-eda's signature humanistic touch. Tune in as we discuss the episodes, the critical reception, and our ultimate rating. Welcome to Today's Episode!

On this week's show, Dan Kois sits in for Dana Stevens. First, the hosts discuss One of Them Days, a new buddy comedy starring Keke Palmer and SZA that's quickly becoming a critical darling — and a box office success. Then, they dive into Asura, Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda's Netflix show that's about the dynamics between three sisters and is “totally uninterested in the rhythms of a TV show.” Finally, it's time to explore the “manosphere.” The trio dissected a deftly reported package from Bloomberg, “The Second Trump Presidency, Brought to You by YouTubers.” Also, we're looking for a new Production Assistant!

Cardy, Matt, and Mat are here this week to talk about cursed meals they've eaten. Before all of that, though, there are thoughts on the madness that is Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, why Hellblade 2 isn't quite working for them, the intriguing concept behind sci-fi survival game The Alters, and another of Cardy's foreign film recommendations in the shape of Hirokazu Kore-eda's Monster. As ever, there's also the regular dose of madness thanks to your feedback, including multiple unseasoned ground beef recipes.

After a mother (Ando Sakura) discovers that teacher's bullying is behind her young son's sudden strange beahvior, she storms into his school demanding an explanation. Continually left without satifactory answers-and with an increasingly distressed child-she furiously escalates her concerns to the school board and the media. But as the story unfolds through the multilayerd perspectives of mother, teacher, and child, the real truth gradually emerges-and proves much more complex than anyone could have expected.Starring Sakura Ando, Eita Nagayama, Soya Kurokawa, Hinata Hiiragi, Mitsuki Takahata, Akihiro Kakuta, Shido Nakamura, and Yuko TanakaMusic by Ryuichi SakamotoCinematography by Ryuto KondoScreenplay by Yuji SakamotoEdited and Directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda
Look here, film snobs. Perhaps you've already looked ahead to round two and seen that the topic is pop culture depictions of the afterlife. I'm gonna disappoint you right now and tell you that we do not get to Hirokazu Kore-eda's 1999 masterpiece After Life. That's just a thing you'll have to contend with as you trudge through the lowbrow muck we've provided you. But it makes for a great game nonetheless! Adam, Chloe, and Paul have a great time talking piracy, jamming out to songs sung by characters in cars, and (you guessed it) exploring pop culture depictions of what happens after we die. Despite all that, this episode is not morbid at all, and hews to the light tone you've come to expect of this show by this point. SUPPORT THE SHOW FOR MORE EPISODES PER MONTH
We go back to our Deep Cut roots with Kore-eda's latest, but don't call us Monster(s) for skipping out on the previously released Broker! Awarded the Queer Palm at Cannes in 2023, Monster is a return to form (and Japan) for Kore-eda, igniting a sprawling conversation about the film and its connections to his larger ouevre. We debate the film's visual treatment, the limits of its Rashomon-esque structure, and share our thoughts on what kind of story the ending is really trying to tell.

It's Arthouse Friday here at Breakfast All Day, as we continue catching up with acclaimed and Oscar-shortlisted international films. First, we review "Fallen Leaves," the amusingly understated romance from Finnish auteur Aki Kaurismäki.

Then we wrap up with a spoiler conversation about the German film "The Teachers' Lounge," which we reviewed earlier this week, because so many of you asked for it. And for our Patreon subscribers, we recap the excellent season 5 finale of "Fargo" on Hulu as well as episode 2 of Marvel's "Echo" on Disney+.

We begin our deep dive into the abundance of excellent films of 2023, a year that still saw fewer new releases than is typical of pre-pandemic cinema but gave us far more exciting, risky, and unusual movies of quality than we've gotten used to. It was a year of big swings by filmmakers, actors, and studios—most of which paid off, and familiar "comfort fair" from old favorites that still delivered excellence, as well as a fairly resounding rejection of the same-old-same-old corporate franchise product. It was a year that gave us Barbenheimer, the best Godzilla movie since the original, some terrific biographical documentaries, a slew of memorable dance sequences, two Hirokazu Kore-eda features, and six Nicholas Cage pictures! In this show, we focus on the smaller films that might have flown under people's radar, and we'll return next month to talk about the big awards movies.
Welcome back, Screamers to part two of our look at the films of Hal Hartley. Today we're digging into the made-for-PBS film 'Surviving Desire,' and the finale of the Long Island Trilogy (Long Island is a terminal moraine), 'Simple Men.' We also discuss Hirokazu Kore-eda's latest film--and his first Japanese-language film since 2018--'Monster.' As a bonus, Jason imagines a world where James Van Der Beek was nominated for an Oscar for his star turn in 'Varsity Blues.'

Mamma mia! We've got-a some-a sleepy pasta for-a you to taste-a this-a week! In our latest, much-awaited installment of PORCH CLASSICS, we're handing the reins to Producer Ben, who has chosen to spotlight a forgotten comedy about “the world's horniest pizza man who cannot die.” Lawrence Kasdan's I LOVE YOU TO DEATH is a feast of bizarre performances (Italian-face Kevin Kline, Serb-face Joan Plowright, Stoner-face William Hurt) and tonal miscalculations. All this to say - it's a very FUN movie to talk about.
