This time, we journey into the deep recesses of space, repressed emotion, studio interference, and last but not least, masculinity in James Gray's 2019 semi-hit semi-not a hit semi-not even James Gray's science fiction film, Ad Astra. When did we record this episode? Don't ask those silly questions...but it was a bit ago. If you can, leave us a review and some feedback! Thank you!

Quel film succédera à « Un simple accident », Palme d'or l'an dernier ? Les jeux semblent très ouverts pour le jury présidé par le cinéaste sud-coréen Park Chan Wook. Plusieurs films sont de sérieux candidats à la récompense cannoise, signés du Roumain Christian Mungiu, de l'Américain James Gray ou du Russe Andreï Zviaguintsev. Mais il faut compter aussi sur de nouveaux venus, comme Emmanuel Marre ou Rodrigo Sorogoyen. On dresse le bilan de cette édition avec trois critiques de cinéma. La Palme d'or 2026 sera-t-elle décernée à Fatherland de Pawel Pawlikowski ? Minotaure du Russe Andreï Zviaguintsev ou Paper Tiger de James Gray ? Que retenir de ce millésime 2026 marqué par une polémique qui agite le cinéma français, après la pétition lancée par 600 professionnels de cinéma pour s'inquiéter de la mainmise du milliardaire Vincent Bolloré, et de son projet idéologique d'extrême droite, sur le cinéma français. On parle films, coups de cœur, déceptions et agitation politique avec trois critiques : Maria-Carolina Pina, notre consœur de la rédaction hispanophone de RFI, elle y présente l'émission Carrusel de las artes, Étienne Sorin du quotidien Le Figaro et Ben Croll qui écrit dans Variety, Indie Wire et The Wrap. Musiques : Popcorn de Gershon Kingsley, et Libertango de Grace Jones.

In seinem ersten artechock-podcast von den Filmfestspielen in Cannes stellt Rüdiger Suchsland drei Filme junger Regisseurinnen vor: Sandra Wollners grandiosen "Everytime", ein Spiel auf der Zeitachse, das Leben und Tod aufhebt; Manuela Martellis "Meltdown" das einen chilenischen Winter zeigt, bei dem der dicke Schnee auch die Fakten zudeckt; und Katharina Rivilis' "I'll be gone in June", der die US-Realität von 9/11 und den Anfang des MAGA-Wahns mit romantischen Sehnsuchtsbildern kombiniert. Aber auch James Gray blickt mit kühler Nostalgie auf die Zeit zurück, als im Brooklyn von 1986 unsere Gegenwart noch Zukunft war - in seiner Brüder-Tragödie "Paper Tiger".

Até o próximo dia 23 de maio, as atenções dos cinéfilos do mundo todo se voltam para o Festival de Cinema de Cannes. A participação do Brasil neste ano é bem mais discreta do que em anos anteriores. Nenhum longa brasileiro foi selecionado, mas o curta Laser-Gato, de Lucas Acher, representa o país na mostra La Cinef. Adriana Brandão, enviada especial a Cannes O Brasil está presente neste ano no Festival de Cannes em quatro coproduções de longas-metragens. Paper Tiger, do veterano diretor americano James Gray, é produzido pelo brasileiro Rodrigo Teixeira, um dos latino-americanos mais influentes de Hollywood. O thriller, estrelado por Adam Driver e Scarlett Johansson, concorre à Palma de Ouro. Na seleção Um Certo Olhar, voltada ao cinema emergente, o nepalês Elefantes na Névoa também é coproduzido pelo Brasil, assim como Seis Meses no Prédio Rosa e Azul, do diretor mexicano Bruno Santamaría Razo, que integra a mostra paralela Semana da Crítica. O ator Selton Mello estará nas telas de Cannes como protagonista de La Perra. O longa da chilena Dominga Sotomayor estreia na seleção paralela Quinzena dos Cineastas. O paulistano Lucas Acher é o único cineasta do país selecionado. O curta-metragem Laser-Gato será exibido na mostra La Cinef, dedicada a filmes de escolas de cinema. Cinema do Brasil Como todos os anos, o Brasil marca presença no importante Mercado do Filme do Festival. Depois de ser o país convidado de honra no ano passado, mais de 200 profissionais, entre produtores e cineastas, além de várias instituições públicas e privadas, voltam a Cannes em busca de parcerias de produção e distribuição. A participação brasileira é organizada pelo Cinema do Brasil, programa de internacionalização do setor em parceria com a Apex, com apoio da Spcine e da RioFilme. A novidade deste ano é a “Matinée Brésil”, uma manhã inteira de debates e encontros, na segunda-feira (18), dedicada a mostrar como o país está se posicionando em relação ao cinema e ao audiovisual. “O que a gente está tentando consolidar é manter constante esse bom momento do cinema nacional que alcançamos, para poder aproveitá-lo por um longo período, evitando aqueles ciclos viciosos que existem no Brasil, com rupturas nas políticas públicas e na promoção do que se faz no país, dos nossos filmes e das nossas séries”, afirma Leonardo Edde, diretor-presidente da RioFilme. Ele avalia que, apesar da presença discreta do Brasil nas seleções competitivas de Cannes, o cinema brasileiro vive um bom momento. “Este ano tivemos uma participação pequena aqui em Cannes, ao contrário do ano passado, quando houve grande presença. Mas isso também se deve às quebras de ciclos nas políticas públicas. Muitas vezes, sentimos os efeitos disso apenas anos depois. Estamos vivendo momentos de glória por um lado, mas ainda enfrentamos os resquícios da crise da última gestão federal.” Leonardo Edde reforça que a participação no Mercado do Filme de Cannes, considerado o centro da produção cinematográfica mundial, “visa manter o cinema nacional no cenário global”. Elogios e críticas Apesar de elogiarem a política pública de cinema desde a criação da Ancine, que permitiu sucessos mundiais como Ainda Estou Aqui e O Agente Secreto, alguns produtores presentes em Cannes reclamam da má distribuição de verbas no setor. A veterana Sara Silveira frequenta o Mercado do Filme de Cannes há mais de 20 anos. Nesta edição, participa com três filmes e um projeto. Ela pede mais apoio ao cinema autoral brasileiro. “Estou com 76 anos, sou uma produtora brasileira extremamente ativa, tenho muita vitalidade e tenho encontrado dificuldades para captar recursos para o meu cinema de porte médio, que é o cinema básico brasileiro, que faz história e diz o que precisa ser dito. Nosso cinema precisa ser reconhecido. É esse cinema de autor que forma a base”, salienta. Sara Silveira defende mais “dividendos, força e coragem” para esse tipo de cinema: “Para que possamos realizá-lo e trazer o Brasil para essas telas (de Cannes), é preciso que esse dinheiro, que é do próprio setor, seja revertido e volte para nós, sendo melhor gerido e distribuído.” Emocionada, ela também pede maior inclusão. “Há jovens, pessoas de meia-idade e também há o etarismo — eu sou etária. Quero que reconheçam a minha força. Quero ter energia, modernidade e a liberdade de fazer cinema em todas as idades, com todos os gêneros. Isso é fundamental para mim: inclusão. Contem comigo. Sou uma militante da arte e do cinema brasileiro”, afirma. Para o produtor Lucas Pelegrino, o grande problema é a imprevisibilidade dos editais. “A principal reclamação é que fazemos reuniões, fechamos acordos, o parceiro capta a parte dele, e nós, no Brasil, ficamos sem recursos porque não sabemos quando os editais serão abertos, o que nos impede de nos posicionar adequadamente. Foi o que aconteceu comigo: no ano passado tivemos reuniões, mas os editais que esperávamos não foram lançados”, conta. Segundo o jovem produtor de São José do Rio Preto, no interior de São Paulo, essa indefinição enfraquece os brasileiros. “Perdemos credibilidade na hora de negociar projetos. É mais uma questão de organização de prazos do que de dinheiro. Existe um volume considerável de recursos, especialmente no fundo setorial, além da Lei Aldir Blanc e do ProAC em São Paulo. São mecanismos incríveis, mas falta previsibilidade, e isso pesa mais”, reforça. Lucas Pelegrino produz principalmente filmes de gênero, como fantasia e terror. Ele busca recursos em Cannes para internacionalizar o projeto A Usina Atrás do Morro, baseado na obra do autor brasileiro de realismo mágico José J. Veiga. O Mercado do Filme termina no dia 20 de maio, três dias antes do 79º Festival Internacional de Cinema de Cannes.

Ross Brodar joins The Film Situation for a wide-ranging conversation about filmmaking, New York stories, and the strange overlap between cinema and real life. Ross has worked as a locations manager on acclaimed films including ANORA, MARTY SUPREME, and projects with directors such as Sean Baker, James Gray, and Josh Safdie. In this episode, Ross breaks down the art and logistics of location scouting, transforming real-world environments into cinematic spaces, and collaborating with visionary directors and production designers. The conversation also dives deep into Ross's gripping documentary The Linchpin of Bensonhurst, which chronicles the unbelievable life of Dominic Montiglio, a Vietnam veteran, artist, singer, and former associate of the infamous DeMeo crew tied to the Gambino crime family. Ross shares how he met Dominic by chance, ended up living with him for years, and spent over a decade documenting his life story. Along the way, Zef and Ross discuss New York in the ‘80s and ‘90s, CBGB's, Roseland Ballroom, collecting money for Sicilian fish markets, and why some true stories are ultimately stranger than fiction. Ross also shares one of his favorite movie scenes of all time: the iconic “Tears in Rain” sequence from BLADE RUNNER.   Hosted by Zef Cota * Website for Ross' documentary: THE LYNCHPIN OF BENSONHURT: The Dominick Montiglio Story https://www.dominickmontiglio.org

They're back to talk all about tennis from the last seven days, which included the end of Indian Wells, a whole host of withdrawals from Miami and another glimpse of the new structure of the tennis tour post-Saudi spend. Jannik Sinner won his first Indian Wells title, finally ending Daniil Medvedev's winning run... ...but is the Russian, who is now back in the top 10, ready to become the third guy in men's tennis? Jack Draper is back to winning ways, beating Novak Djokovic en route the quarter-finals... ...but was he unfairly "hindered" by a hindrance call in his last eight defeat? Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka slogged it out in the women's final... ...and while Sabalenka won to ding-dong the head-to-head back in her favour, is it really a match-up that helps the women's game? That and SO much more...

Send a textWith Episode 8, our hosts put their Gray Days behind them, wrapping the short Season 16 with THE IMMIGRANT (2013), or as it was a.k.a.'ed during its short development and prior to its delayed release “Low Life” and “The Nightingale.”  James Gray teams back up with cowriter Richard Menello to write a period drama role explicitly for Marion Cotillard whom Gray met through her then-partner director Guillaume Canet during their work together on the oft-mentioned Blood Ties also released in 2013. The story follows the hard luck of Cotillard's titular immigrant as her likewise Polish emigre sister is confined to a medical ward on Ellis Island during immigration while Cotillard's Ewa Cybulska is offered an opportunity to remain in the States through the kindness of Joaquin Phoenix playing a pimp and former child immigrant named Bruno Weiss in the actor's fourth and to-date final Gray film role. Cotillard's immigrant forms a brief love triangle with Jeremy Renner's magician and brother-to-Bruno character Orlando The Magician until he ***SPOILER*** runs off to Iraq to defuse bombs as one of the Avengers who just shoots arrows or something. J/k. It's a Gray film. You know someone is going to die. Maybe it's the magician. Maybe it's the sister. Maybe both. Stay awake to find out, or give this episode a listen.   This episode, Harvey Weinstein returns; Ken tries renaming the podcast; Ryan and Thomas are spot on in their estimation of the film; and our boys rank the eight-film oeuvre on The Gray Scale.     Next week, we're on smoko but will return with Hacks (mild pun intended; Surgeon General's warning: do not consume the first episode of Season 17 if you're preggers).    THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Calvin Betton is perfectly safe in Acapulco, James Gray is finally home and George Bellshaw is about to head off to India - but for now at least two of the Tennis Unfiltered gang are in the same timezone.

Send a textTWO LOVERS (2008)For Season 16, Episode 7, writer-director James Gray gets geometric with TWO LOVERS (2008), his third of four collabs with Joaquin Phoenix whom he puts into a love triangle with Gray's only film to-date starring Gwyneth Paltrow or Vinessa Shaw.  Gray leaves his crime trilogy behind with this contemporary piece focusing on the family and loves of Phoenix's Leonard Kraditor, a manic-depressive pixie dream boy working for and living with his parents after a suicide attempt. Leonard finds himself caught between his id (depicted by Paltrow's equally pixie Michelle Rausch) and superego (depicted by Shaw's Sandra Cohen). Isabella Rossellini in a relatively (slight pun intended) quiet performance plays Leonard's mother while Israeli actor Moni Moshonov reprises his father-figure role from We Own the Night to play Leonard's father.    For those enjoying the home version this season, the following Gray Bingo squares may be covered: 1) silent opening, 2) NYC, 3) Jewish family, 4) bare breast, 5) club scene, and 6) failed plan to escape to warmer climates.   Guest Andi joins to betray her Southern roots by speaking when she has nothing polite to say as she ranks the half of Gray's filmography she's watched. Host Ken this episode does extra credit, having not only watched two prior film adaptations of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's short story “White Nights” but also researches cowriter Richard Menello and charts multiple love triangles in this film and throughout the films TGTPTU has covered. Cohost Ryan reveals his odd sense of humor. And cohost Thomas provides a list of terms defining people and what they love.   These four on mic this week are split in half for their enjoyment of the film. Next ep, the stunning conclusion to Going Gray (working title) and the genre reveal of Season 17. THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Send us a textWe Own the NightFor Season 16 Episode 5, TGTPTU dives deep into what writer-director James Gray considers the conclusion of his NYC crime trilogy WE OWN THE NIGHT (2007) while also starting the first of two planned sizzurp episodes with host Ken sick and sipping on some strong cold medicine. And joining this top to the third temporal pincer™️ pairing is special guest and inveterate bookworm Shannon.   For his third film, and second time being booed at Cannes (Harvey Scissorhands' cut of The Yards being the occasion for his first), Gray after seven years in development had his first financial success with his unique, untrademarked combination of family drama, crime, and Greek tragedy. Together again but reversing roles from The Yards, Mark Wahlberg plays supporting as Cpt Joe Grusinsky while Joaquin Phoenix takes the lead as night club manager Bobby Green/Grusinsky. That slash becomes important as Bobby has adopted his dead mother's surname prior to the start of the movie to distance himself from his brother Joe and their Deputy Chief cop daddy Burt Grusinsky, played by Robert Duvall. When Brother Captain Joe's pursuit of a drug smuggler leads to his family being targeted by the Russian Mob who are also owners of Bobby's club and his surrogate family, Bobby's different last name comes in handy as he goes undercover for the po-po.   Oh, and it's a period piece occurring in the late-80s set in NYC, so cover those squares on your Gray bingo card.   This ep, guest Shannon bumps on overwritten cop dialogue culled from Gray's NYPD ride-alongs; former co-host Jack weighs in off-mic on Gray's best use of CGI for rain during the car chase scene; Ryan suggests this is the last Phoenix role before he became too fussy, and Ken suggests it's the last of Wahlberg actually being interesting while effectively suppressing a cough; Ryan questions the merits of the temporal pincer movement being applied to Gray's filmography; and Thomas considers it his favorite Gray film of the five he's watched.   THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Send us a textAs if the fourth in a horror film series, this week TGTPTU goes to space! In Season 16, Ep 4 of Gray Matter (working title), Ken, Thomas, and Ryan discuss writer-director James Gray's AD ASTRA (2019) as their unpatented pincer movement continues along the auteur's eight-movie filmography.   Cowritten with a television writer of meager IMDB credits, Gray's highest budget film to date sends astronaut and resting heart rate champion Roy Richard McBride (Brad Pitt) to the furthest reaches of the explored solar system in order to present him jump scares and (un)excusable homicides on his journey in a near future to retrieve his father played by Tommy Lee Jones who apparently can't get enough being in outer space (see Season 2, Ep 8 for our Space Cowboys coverage). Because this is a Gray joint, you know daddy and son are gonna have some emotional reckoning. What you might not be expecting are a moon car chase, falling from near orbit to Earth, or kickflipping a shuttle's flotsam while grinding a wicked rail of an asteroid belt (at least one of these happens, no further spoilers).   Like last week's ep, Gray did not have final cut (i.e., the film rights; he might have had the professional, high-performance video editing software designed by Apple for macOS and iPadOS, although there is a strong possibility he had neither), which allowed for surprise research revelations by Ken, Tom, and Ryan and a wish for a hard media release of the Director's Cut audio track.   Chris Nolan's late-career cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema (listen back to Season 12 for more on the lenser so nice they named him twice) shoots this beautiful film. Ad Astra garnered Gray's first and to date only Academy nomination for Best Sound Mixing, which host Ken is in real time appalled by what films received Academy noms for Best Special Effects to the exclusion of this film's many practical VFX. Also, Ken struggles to name Robert McKee to really land a movie reference despite covering Adaptation in both the pod's Nicolas Cage (Season 3) and Meryl Streep (Season 8) coverage; Ryan has galaxy brain generational conflict ideas about the movie's themes; and Tom tries placing the flick among the good space movies of the past decade.   Factoid: The film was released in France under the tile “Ad Astra,” which means “to the stars” in Latin and in Finland as “Ad Astra,” which also means “to the stars” in Latin. THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias
