Podcast appearances and mentions of leslie woodhead

Ella Fitzgerald is the subject and my guest is revered British documentary maker Leslie Woodhead with his film about the Queen of Jazz - it's called Just One of Those Things and plays at the re-opened BFI Southbank. Leslie recalls a life in film, including working with the elusive Terence Malick, the shock of DA Pennebaker's Primary and years spent filming a tribe in Ethiopia. Among my own recommendations are A Quiet Place II and The Underground Railroad.Music by Lee Rosevere. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
