Podcast appearances and mentions of Jane Campion

In this RTB and Novel Dialogue episode from 2021, Helen Garner sits down with John and Elizabeth McMahon, a distinguished scholar of Australian literature. Helen's novels range from the anti-patriarchy exuberance of Monkey Grip (1977) to the heartbreaking mortality at the heart of The Spare Room (2008). She has also authored a slew of nonfiction, plus screenplays for Jane Campion's Two Friends and Gillian Armstrong's wonderfully Garneresque The Last Days of Chez Nous. After a reading from John's favorite, The Children's Bach, the trio discusses Garner's capacity for cutting and cutting, creating resonant, thought-inducing gaps. Garner connects that taste for excision, perhaps paradoxically, to her tendency to accumulate scraps, bits and pieces of life. She relates her father's restlessness to her own life-total of houses inhabited (27). “Why wouldn't I write about households?” asks Helen, “They're just so endlessly interesting.” Who shaped her writing? Raymond Carver: packed with power, but the pages white with omissions and excisions. Helen offers an anecdote about her own pruning that ends with her “ankle-deep in adverbs.” That's how to escape the “fat writing” that stems for distrust of the reader. She thoughtfully compares the practical virtues of keeping notebooks for the “music” of everyday life to the nightly process of diary-writing (more analytical). John raises the question of pervasive musical metaphors in Helen's writing, and she reports her passion for “boring pieces” and the “formal” side of Bach, which makes a listener feel that there is such a thing as meaning. “There's something about shaping a sentence, too, which can be musical.” Mentioned in the Episode Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping (the fixed people and the wandering people), Gilead, Home, The West Wing (yes, the TV show! Helen watched it during lockdown when she couldn't bear fiction…) Raymond Carver‘s minimalist fiction (his first collection) Tess Gallagher (as writer and as Carver's editor) Willa Cather, “The Novel Démeublé” (1922; on how to un-furnish fiction, leaving it an empty room) Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast Sigmund Freud on “the day's residue” (e.g. in The Interpretation of Dreams, 1900) George Eliot, Quarry for Middlemarch Listen to Episode Learn more about your ad choices.

An accessible introduction to the concept of the auteur (author) in film theory. In The Film Auteur: Angles of Vision (Routledge, 2026) Robert Kolker and David Wyatt provide readers with a history of auteur theory, from its initial origins in France in the late 1940s as an outgrowth of the cinematic theories of the French film critics and theorists André Bazin and Alexandre Astruc, to the canonizing work of American film critic Andrew Sarris in the 1960s. After a streamlined account of the various postwar renaissances in film - the shock of “Neorealism”, the “New Wave,” and “New American Cinema” - the book features detailed examinations of the work of forty-eight auteurs, including F.W. Murnau, Jean-Luc Godard, Ida Lupino, Alfred Hitchcock, Yasujirō Ozu, Stanley Kubrick, Spike Lee, Pedro Almodóvar, and Jane Campion. In its focus on a limited number of auteurs, this book aims to offer a map of representative figures rather than an exhaustive or comprehensive list, providing an informative entry point to the study of the auteur. Essential reading for any students of film theory and film studies, particularly those taking classes on the auteur. Learn more about your ad choices.

On s'est réunies autour du micro pour parler de cette adaptation avec Margot Robbie et Jacob Elordi en tête d'affiche, dont l'annonce a été très controversée.Animation : Mariana AgierParticipantes : Enora Abry, Mariana Agier, Diane LestageRéalisation, montage, son : Mariana AgierGénérique : © SorocinéMusique : Antonin Agier et Hugo CardonaHébergé par Ausha.

Son dernier film, Hamnet, avec Jessie Buckley et Paul Mescal, sort en salles ce mercredi 21 janvier. Pour l'occasion, on a voulu s'intéresser à la filmographie de la réalisatrice Chloé Zhao, depuis ses premiers films qui sondent les mythes américains dans les réserves amérindiennes, en passant par Nomadland et la consécration de l'Oscar du meilleur film et de la meilleure réalisation, et son passage chez Marvel.Chapitrage :05:50 : "Les chansons que mes frères m'ont apprises" et "The Rider", la mythologie du western et les réserves amérindiennes18:48 : "Nomadland" et sa charge politique32:42 : Le tournant Marvel avec "Les Eternels"43:52 : "Hamnet" et la patte de Chloé Zhao dans l'adaptation de Maggie O'FarrellAnimation : Léon CattanParticipantes : Mariana Agier, Margaux Baralon, Léon Cattan, Lisa DurandRéalisation, montage, son : Mariana AgierGénérique : © SorocinéMusique : Antonin Agier et Hugo CardonaHébergé par Ausha.

Min 5: 28 AÑOS DESPUÉS: EL TEMPLO DE LOS HUESOS (3 estrellas) Dirigida por Nia DaCosta y escrita por Alex Garland, 28 años después. El templo de los huesos continúa el universo inaugurado por 28 días después para adentrarse en un mundo donde la infección ya no es una catástrofe puntual, sino un estado permanente de la humanidad. Ambientada casi tres décadas después del brote del virus de la rabia, la película sigue a un grupo de supervivientes —interpretados por Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson y Ralph Fiennes— que descubre una comunidad aislada y aparentemente organizada, asentada sobre los restos físicos y morales del antiguo orden. Min 15. EL MAL (JUANMA BAJO ULLOA) 3 estrellas Dirigida por Juanma Bajo Ulloa, El mal es el estreno español más llamativo del fin de semana, un thriller psicológico que obliga al espectador a enfrentarse a sus propias sombras y a cuestionar la delgada línea entre fascinación y repulsión ante la violencia. La trama sigue a Belén Fabra, Natalia Tena y Tony Dalton —con apoyos de Fernando Gil, María Schwinning y Natalia Ruiz Risueño— en una historia donde Elvira, una ambiciosa periodista y escritora de sucesos interpretada por Fabra, recibe la inquietante propuesta de escribir la biografía de Martín (Tena), quien dice tener “talento†para ser el mayor asesino en serie de la Historia, lo que desencadena una espiral de compromisos éticos, obsesión y reflexión sobre la maldad inherente al ser humano. Min 20. EL HOMBRE MENGUANTE (FRANCIA) 3 estrellas Dirigida por Jan Kounen y escrita por Christophe Deslandes y el propio Kounen, El hombre menguante se estrena hoy viernes 16 de enero de 2026 en cines españoles, ofreciendo una nueva lectura del clásico de ciencia ficción basado en la novela de Richard Matheson que ha inspirado generaciones de cineastas. La película está protagonizada por Jean Dujardin —en un papel físico y emocionalmente exigente— junto a Marie-Josée Croze, Daphné Richard y Salim Talbi, en un relato que transforma lo cotidiano en un vasto y peligroso paisaje cuando el protagonista comienza a perder tamaño de forma inexplicable. Min. 27: SI PUDIERA TE DARÍA UNA PATADA (3 estrellas) Dirigida y escrita por Mary Bronstein, 'Si pudiera, te daría una patada' irrumpe en salas como una de las piezas más estimulantes del cine independiente. La película, protagonizada de forma casi absoluta por Rose Byrne, sigue a Linda, una madre atrapada en una sucesión de crisis simultáneas: la enfermedad inexplicable de su hija, la ausencia emocional de su marido, una desaparición inquietante y una relación cada vez más tóxica con su propio terapeuta. Bronstein construye un relato que oscila entre el drama, la comedia negra y el thriller psicológico para retratar el desgaste mental de una mujer obligada a sostenerlo todo sin espacio para venirse abajo. Min 32. TURNO DE GUARDIA (4 estrellas) Turno de guardia es un retrato intenso y humanista de la cotidianidad sanitaria que sacude al espectador desde sus primeros minutos con una propuesta formal audaz y una mirada profundamente empática hacia el personal de enfermería. Dirigida y escrita por Petra Biondina Volpe, la cineasta suiza emplea la jornada de una enfermera —Floria, interpretada con aplomo y verdad por Leonie Benesch— como vehículo narrativo y moral para explorar la presión, la precariedad y la enorme responsabilidad que conlleva cuidar de otros en un entorno donde los segundos importan y los recursos escasean. Min 35: LA MIRADA DEL FLAMENCO (3'5 estrellas) La misteriosa mirada del flamenco es una de las óperas primas más audaces del cine latinoamericano reciente, una fábula cargada de política, amor y paranoia que explora la violencia simbólica y real contra las minorías desde el corazón del desierto chileno. Dirigida por Diego Céspedes, la película fusiona elementos del western clásico, el realismo mágico y el coming-of-age para construir un relato que, aunque situado en un pueblo minero de los años ochenta, tiene ecos universales: el miedo a lo diferente, la construcción de la familia elegida y la violencia social alimentada por el prejuicio. Min 38: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON ALBERTO TORRES El compositor y productor toledano Alberto Torres, responsable de la BSO del corto de ficción nominado al Goya 2026 "Una cabeza en la pared", celebra sus opciones de premio desvelándonos por qué El piano (1993), la película dirigida por Jane Campion y protagonizada por Holly Hunter, es la película de su vida. MIn 46: ESPECIAL BSO JAMES DEAN: EL GIGANTE Y REBELDE INMORTAL El 70 aniversario del estreno de una película tan colosal como icónica, 'Gigante' (1956) nos sirve de excusa perfecta para zanjar una asignatura pendiente y rendir tributo musical a la figura de James Dean. Nuestro crítico musical, Ángel Luque, selecciona algunos de los temas más representativos de las tres películas que nos dejó como legado. "Al este del Edén" (1955) 'Rebelde sin causa' (1955) y su trabajo póstumo, la mencionada 'Gigante' (1956).

Pour fêter Noël dignement, on a rouvert nos âmes d'adolescentes en nous intéressant à notre madeleine de Proust préférée : la saga Twilight, et particulièrement le premier film de Catherine Hardwicke, mal-aimé et pourtant cultissime. 20 ans après la publication du premier livre de Stephenie Meyer, et plus de 15 ans après la sortie du premier film, que peut-on encore dire sur ce film qu'une génération entière a adoré détester ?Animation : Mariana AgierParticipantes : Mariana Agier, Alicia Arpaïa, Lisa Durand, Victoria FabyRéalisation, montage, son : Mariana AgierGénérique : © SorocinéMusique : Antonin Agier et Hugo CardonaHébergé par Ausha.

Le 24 octobre dernier sortait sur Netflix sont dernier film, A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE. Pour l'occasion, nous avons voulu revenir sur la carrière de Kathryn Bigelow, première réalisatrice à recevoir l'Oscar de la meilleure réalisation en 2008 pour DEMINEURS, et dont la filmographie a oscillé entre différents genres, du film d'action à la science-fiction, en passant par le film de vampires... Mais aussi, toujours ramenée à un cinéma très masculin.Animation, son : Alicia ArpaïaParticipantes : Alicia Arpaïa, Margaux Baralon, Lisa DurandRéalisation, montage : Mariana AgierGénérique : © SorocinéMusique : Antonin Agier et Hugo CardonaHébergé par Ausha.

La gran directora Katherine Bigelow estrena su nueva cinta " A House of Dynamite" una especie de tríptico sobre un ataque nuclear inminente a los Estados Unidos. Las tres visiones de dicha crisis, construyen tres relatos diferentes, pero que no necesariamente funcionen igual o se nutran uno a otro. A pesar de cualquier "pero" la pelicula para variar en Bigelow es muy muy notable y vale la pena verla. Echamos además un ojo al resto de sus películas.FE DE ERRATAS: Dijimos que Bigelow fue la primera mujer en haber sido nominada a la categoría de mejor dirección lo cual fue una mentira podrida. Fue la realizadora italiana Lina Wertmüller quien en 1977 logró esta distinción por primera vez, más tarde en los 90 llegaba Jane Campion la neozelandesa con El Piano. Bigelow fue la primera pero EN GANAR!.Se cumple ya una década de la primera incursión de Netflix, hacia la temporada de premios. Beasts of No Nation, tremenda película, cumple sus primeros 10 años."Die my Love" la cinta de la realizadora Lynne Ramsay (We Need to Talk About Kevin), llega a pantallas con un thriller psicológico donde sin duda la actuación de Jennifer Lawrence es lo mas notable y posiblemente un boleto directo a las nominaciones a los diferentes premios de este año."Steve", pelicula británica, mucho británica de Tim Mielants está ya en plataforma. Esta cinta que fue al Festival de Cine de Toronto, es un proyecto modesto pero inmensamente intenso en cuanto a emociones. Cyllian Murphy protagoniza, como Steve, un director de un programa de reintegración de menores con antecedentes criminales, en una crisis nerviosa y existencial en el peor día de su vida. Vale toda la pena verla.Finalmente, el gran Olallo Rubio nos tira una tremenda nota de voz, larga a consciencia, analítica y bien argumentada de sus 3 recomendaciones. Gracias a todos por sus mensajes, siempre los leemos y nos hacen muy felices.GUCCI!

Jane Campion hat es nicht eilig. Zumindest liegt dieser Rückschluss nahe, wenn man auf die zeitlichen Abstände zwischen ihren Filmprojekten blickt. Und in diesem Falle wollen wir auch gar nicht meckern, denn die Regisseurin beweist mit ihren jüngsten Werken ein treffsicheres Auge für reizvolle Kino- und Serienstoffe: BRIGHT STAR (2009) bietet ein sattes Pfund düstere Romantik im verregneten England. Im TV-Thriller TOP OF THE LAKE (2013) ermittelt Elisabeth Moss vor der beeindruckenden Kulisse Neuseelands, bevor sie sich in TOP OF THE LAKE: CHINA GIRL (2017) in den gefährlichsten Ecken Sidneys herumtreibt. Und im Oscar-prämierten THE POWER OF THE DOG (2021) sattelt Campion die Pferde für gebrochene Cowboys. Yee-haw!

Das zweite Kapitel unserer Reise durch das filmische Schaffen von Regisseurin Jane Campion beginnt wiederum mit einer Geduldsprobe, denn ihre Adaption von Henry James' PORTRAIT OF A LADY (The Portrait of a Lady, 1996) ist zwar luxuriös ausgestattet und starbesetzt, aber hinter der hochglänzenden Fassade so leer wie die toten Augen von John Malkovich. Da gefällt uns HOLY SMOKE (1999) schon besser, obwohl wir auf die Frage, was die Regisseurin wohl geritten hat, als sie beschloss, Kate Winslet und Harvey Keitel in den australischen Outback zu schicken, keine vollends befriedigende Antwort finden. Deutlich eindeutiger sind die Botschaften im Psychothriller IN THE CUT (2003), der zwar ebenfalls weder die Kritik begeisterte noch die Kinokassen klingeln ließ, dafür aber Meg Ryan und Mark Ruffalo glänzen lässt, dass unsere Äuglein strahlen. Doch die ganz große Begeisterung bleibt auch hier einseitig ...

“When my father passed, I wanted nothing more than my mother's happiness. For what kind of man would I be if I did not help my mother?”Production designer Andrew McAlpine joins hosts Andy Nelson and Pete Wright to discuss Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog. Drawing from his extensive career including work on The Piano with Campion herself, McAlpine offers unique insights into the film's exploration of isolation, masculinity, and the psychological complexity of its characters. His perspective as both a fellow New Zealander and previous Campion collaborator brings fresh depth to this haunting Western drama.McAlpine's journey from aspiring surgeon to art school graduate led him through theater, holography, and eventually to production design. His work spans diverse projects including Sid and Nancy, Clockers, The Beach, and Aeon Flux. McAlpine approaches each film with an emphasis on authentic period detail while avoiding heavy-handed historical recreation, allowing the environment to serve the emotional truth of the story rather than mere accuracy.The conversation explores how The Power of the Dog examines masculine isolation through Phil's character, drawing parallels to McAlpine's work on The Piano. He highlights the film's masterful use of landscape and architecture to amplify psychological tension, particularly through the imposing ranch house. The discussion delves into Peter's character complexity and the film's careful build toward its devastating conclusion. McAlpine offers fascinating insights into how Campion's direction creates space for both brutality and vulnerability in her characters.

Jane Campion ist nicht nur eine der erfolgreichsten Regisseurinnen weltweit, sondern hat auch seit ihren zaghaften Anfängen in Neuseeland nie den Mut zu herausfordernden Filmstoffen verloren. Dies zeigt sich schon mit SWEETIE (1989), durch den sich Dennis und Patrick wahrlich hindurchbeißen müssen, um etwas Unterhaltungswert darin zu entdecken. Aber Kunst muss eben auch mal weh tun. Davon weiß Janet Frame (Kerry Fox), die Protagonistin von EIN ENGEL AN MEINER TAFEL (An Angel at My Table, 1990) ein Lied zu singen– oder ein Gedicht zu schreiben. So oder so sind die beiden Herren vom melodramatischen Biopic sehr angetan und finden mehr Humor darin, als erwartet. Das gilt im Übrigen auch für DAS PIANO (The Piano, 1993), Campions großer internationaler Durchbruch und einer von Patrick all-time-Lieblingsfilmen. Es wird romantisch!

A few years ago Oscar and Palme d'Or-winning Kiwi filmmaker Dame Jane Campion announced a pop-up film school called 'A Wave in the Ocean'. The project was supported by Netflix and ran as a 12-month intensive mentorship programme for creatives with significant film experience. Well now the course is reaping results - one of the short films that emerged from it has now been selected to compete at the Venice International Film Festival. 'Lion Rock' was co-directed by Prisca Bouchet, she spoke to Jesse.

Two things have entertained me this week. We've had the falling out of two of the world's most powerful and wealthy narcissists - all of which played out on their own social media platforms. This breakup must be the most predicted thing to come out of Trump's presidency so far. After the drama of Thursday's outbursts, there seems to be a de-escalation between President Trump and his former benefactor and DOGE leader Elon Musk. Maybe they each realised they're unlikely to win outright, with the other having a platform to keep the jabs coming. Or maybe a little more strategic thought is going into next moves, although I'm not sure how much lower the blows could have gone. But if you're looking for alternative entertainment this weekend, I can recommend Netflix's The Survivors. The Aussie series is based on a Jane Harper novel set in Tasmania, and tells the story of how a present-day death in a coastal town brings back difficult memories of a 15-year-old tragedy when 3 young people died at sea. It's a crime drama filled with small town secrets, buried trauma and grief. At the heart of this film, giving another acting masterclass, is our very own Kiwi legend Robyn Malcolm. Every time I see Malcolm in a new role I say it's her best performance yet - she's at the very top of her game. It occurred to me this weekend that she's always been at the top of her game - whether on Shortland St, Outrageous Fortune, Jane Campion's Top of the Lake or Aussie comedies like Rake or Upper Middle Bogan. But there's no doubt Malcolm just keeps getting better. While many other actors discuss the difficulty of getting work once a woman hits a certain age, Malcolm reminds us the middle years can be the glory years. That a life of experience and hard work can lead to the roles of a lifetime. Recent performances in After the Party, Pike River, and The Survivors are giving writers a reason to write wonderfully layered, messed up characters for women like Malcolm to play. If you look at Robyn's resume you'd think she's been employed consistently since walking out of drama school in 1987. But I know it hasn't always been easy. Being an actor is not an easy life no matter how damn good you are. But watching Malcolm, along with Dianne Taylor, pick up a pen and create a project for herself - the Bafta-nominated After the Party - proves you can be middle aged, relevant, celebrated and seen, if you want to be. It's hard to take your eyes off her in The Survivor. But just wait until you see her in Rob Sarkies' new film Pike River, which is being released in New Zealand in October. Yip, you guessed it. Her best work yet. Seriously, she is spectacular as Sonya Rockhouse. There is no doubt 2025 is going to be a great year for Malcolm, and I'm sure it's just the beginning of an amazing third act.

CW: This episode contains spoilers and discussions of cinematic sexual violence. The film writer Jessica Ritchey returns to the show for a two-part series about two controversial films about a woman's complex sexuality, films that took a couple of decades to be rediscovered and better understood.In part one we discuss Richard Brooks' 1977 drama Looking for Mr. Goodbar starring Diane Keaton, based on the popular seventies bestseller by Judith Rossner, based on the true story of a New York City schoolteacher who was murdered by a man she picked up at a singles bar. Mr. Goodbar was a major hit for Paramount upon release, but a few weeks later it was overshadowed by another Paramount release with an even bigger cultural impact and hit soundtrack, Saturday Night Fever. Mr. Goodbar has been hard to see properly for decades due to its reputation as a misogynist, depressing film and the extremely expensive licensing costs for its disco soundtrack, until the end of 2024 when Vinegar Syndrome unexpectedly released a limited-edition restoration. Jessica and I dig into the thorny and complex issues this film presents about a woman's sexuality, partly due to Richard Brooks' determination to tell a more empathetic story than the more punishing tone of Rossner's novel (she was angered by the adaptation). Brooks may not have been the ideal person to make this film being two generations removed from the subject but nevertheless his film contains an interesting and useful critique of the patriarchy, using his understanding of New Hollywood techniques. Jessica and I also discuss the film's use of music, Diane Keaton's tremendous performance as Theresa Dunn, the depiction of all the terrible men in her life, and our responses to the shocking conclusion of the film. Part two of this discussion is exclusive to the Patreon feed: more about Mr. Goodbar, contrasted against a controversial 2003 film that could be seen as a feminist response to it, Jane Campion's In the Cut, and a 1982 TV movie about a woman in danger that echoes some of these themes, Hotline starring Lynda Carter. To support this show directly and to receive access to the entire back catalogue, consider becoming a patron for only $5.00 a month (U.S.) at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/junkfilterFollow Jessica Ritchey on Bluesky, and support her work on Patreon.The limited edition Vinegar Syndrome release of Looking for Mr. Goodbar can be purchased here.“Goodnight Theresa”, a YouTube playlist Jessica and I cooked up of disco songs that came out too late to be included on the Goodbar soundtrack but would have fit right in.Trailer for Looking for Mr. Goodbar (Richard Brooks, 1977)

Today on Art of the Cut we speak with Oscar-nominee Peter Sciberras, ACE about editing director Steve McQueen's film, Blitz. Peter was last on Art of the Cut for his work on Jane Campion's Power of the Dog for which he was nominated for an Oscar and an ACE Eddie. His other films include The Rover, The King, and Foe, among many others. The discussion today is about - among other things - finding the best moment to intercut between the film's two main characters, the importance of the opening scene's visceral impact, and collaborating with the sound team and composer, Hans Zimmer.

And. . .we're back. After almost a year of radio silence, the Secret Movie Club podcast returns with SMC Pod #162! Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill gives thanks (Thanksgiving 2024 weekend) for the Bravo Channel in the early 1990's. Way back then (Craig was 12-15 years old), the Bravo Channel was devoted to idiosynchratic world cinema and American indie movies. Sneaking to the tv room late at night, to watch these movies when his family was asleep, Craig saw Jane Campion's An Angel at My Table (1990),  Ildikó Enyedi's Hungarian My Twentieth Century (1989), Aki Kaurismaki's Leningrad Cowboys Go America (1989), Hal Hartley's Trust (1990), and (possibly) Jean Claude Luzhon's French Canadian Leolo (1992). Plus, some hints and reveals about the full reopening of the Secret Movie Club theater and programming...

La comédienne, réalisatrice et artiste-plasticienne, âgée de 38 ans, nous reçoit chez Idem, un atelier de lithographie situé à Paris dans le 14e arrondissement, à l'occasion de la sortie en salle du film « Niki », signé Céline Sallette, dans lequel elle incarne Niki de Saint Phalle. Charlotte Le Bon évoque son enfance à Montréal, au Canada, auprès d'une mère et d'un beau-père comédiens. Elle évoque le décès de son père alors qu'elle avait 10 ans et sa passion précoce pour le dessin et le plongeon. Elle commence à la fin de l'adolescence une carrière de mannequin dont elle garde un souvenir assez sombre puis pendant une année joue les Miss Météo sur Canal +, une expérience libératrice qui la mènera ensuite à faire du cinéma. C'est aujourd'hui dans la réalisation qu'elle s'épanouit le plus, regrettant la passivité attendue souvent des comédiens. Charlotte Le Bon aborde également son travail de plasticienne, son attrait pour les aspérités et son admiration pour le travail de Stanley Donwood, Carl Gustav Jung, David Lynch, Claire Tabouret ou Christo et Jeanne-Claude. Elle revient longuement sur son admiration pour le travail de Jane Campion : « J'ai découvert récemment ses deux premiers films, “Sweetie” et “Un ange à ma table”. Ce sont de grands films. C'est tellement risqué, tellement audacieux. Et puis il y a un truc qui est génial aussi avec Jane Campion, c'est qu'on ne s'ennuie jamais. Je sens vraiment ce désir chez elle. C'est tout sauf prétentieux. »Depuis six saisons, la journaliste et productrice Géraldine Sarratia interroge la construction et les méandres du goût d'une personnalité. Qu'ils ou elles soient créateurs, artistes, cuisiniers ou intellectuels, tous convoquent leurs souvenirs d'enfance, tous évoquent la dimension sociale et culturelle de la construction d'un corpus de goûts, d'un ensemble de valeurs.Un podcast produit et présenté par Géraldine Sarratia (Genre idéal) préparé avec l'aide de Diane Lisarelli et Juliette SavardRéalisation : Guillaume GiraultMusique : Gotan Project Hébergé par Audion.

This weekend, there's a new documentary coming to theaters about the life of Christopher Reeve, the actor who played Superman. It's called Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, and it's about his career, the injury that changed his life, and about what Superman the character means to different people. For this week's episode, we're diving into the Sewers archives to revisit a 2018 conversation on that topic. My guest was Glenn Kiser, whose name you might not recognize but he's had a hand in countless films over the last thirty years — helping to craft movies alongside directors like David Fincher, Spike Jonze, Jane Campion, and George Lucas. As a kid, Glenn would obsess over movies and dream of the day he could make his own — never dreaming that his journey could take him from living on an isolated ranch in Texas to working at Skywalker Ranch.We'll have that conversation in just a moment. First, if you're enjoying The Sewers of Paris, I hope you'll consider supporting the show on Patreon.

It's called TV on the Edge, and I'm just one of the folks interviewed on the show.

Director Steven Shainberg recalls the making of 2002's SECRETARY, a daring film that centers around a BDSM relationship between a lawyer and his new secretary. Inspired by the great filmmakers Jane Campion and Mike Lee, Steven decided to turn his short film into a feature, but knew it would be a challenge to get it made. Many of the executives and financiers who read the script were scared to take on such risky material, but Steven was persistent and secured independent financing. They went out to nearly every young female star of the day, but everyone passed. And then Maggie Gyllenhaal auditioned and he knew she was the one. As Steven explains on the podcast, the film is about so much more than the taboo relationship between boss and employee. It's about two people finding freedom and happiness in each other and honoring their true selves. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 83 - PAUL SCHNEIDER - ACTOR On this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with actor Paul Schneider (BRIGHT STAR, THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES, GEORGE WASHINGTON). Growing up in a small town in North Carolina, Paul shares how working in film and television never crossed his mind until a pivotal viewing of Jane Campion's THE PIANO. Attending film school following the encouragement and support of a high school teacher, Paul studied editing but found himself frequently cast in his friends' short films, culminating in a performance in GEORGE WASHINGTON, shot entirely by his film school friends. Paul later shares how, to prepare for a role in Jane Campion's BRIGHT STAR, he practiced his Scottish accent by studying a copy of TRAINSPOTTING. We later discuss the importance of a director having a clear vision for a film and loving a collaborative director who includes their crew and cast in their creative decision making process. Paul also reveals the secret character trait that informed his character in JESSE JAMES, and we discuss the emotional mathematics of the collaboration found in filmmaking that result in a film's final cut. - This episode is sponsored by the Dallas Film Commission & Godox
