Pablo Larrain je v svoji dosedanji karieri ustvaril že več odličnih del – med temi je meni najljubši satirični Klub, film o skupini nekdanjih duhovnikov, ki skupaj z redovnico, neke vrste oskrbnico, živijo v odročni hiši na čilski obali, kjer naj bi se kesali za svoje pretekle grehe. Larrain ima izjemen čut za prikaz človeške narave z vsemi posebnostmi in čudaštvi vred, kar je dokazal tudi v filmih, v katerih je obravnaval življenja slavnih žensk, na primer Jackie Kennedy in princese Diane. Na preteklem filmskem festivalu v Benetkah pa je prvič pokazal svoj film o eni izmed najbolj izjemnih umetnic opernega sveta, Marii Callas. Zdaj se film vrti tudi pri nas. Takole je Larrain razložil, zakaj se je lotil zgodbe o Marii Callas: »Zakaj pa ne? Že od malih nog sem bil oboževalec opere in Marie Callas. Vedno me je presenečalo, da je tako malo filmov o operi in opernih pevcih. Nekaj jih sicer je, ampak malo, če pomislimo, kako zanimiva je opera kot umetnostna zvrst. In tako sem dobil zamisel, da bi posnel film o verjetno najboljši pevki vseh časov, ki je imela zelo lepo in obenem zelo težko življenje.« Vlogo Marie je odigrala Angelina Jolie, ki se je za film morala naučiti petja. Potem so naredili preplet njenih pevskih vložkov in izvirnih arij operne dive. Kaj je zanjo merilo, da je zadovoljna s svojo vlogo? »Iskreno povedano, so merilo, ali sem vlogo izpeljala dovolj dobro, oboževalci Marie Callas in vsi tisti, ki ljubijo opero. Strah me je bilo, da bi jih razočarala. Lepo je tudi, če dobiš dober odziv ljudi v filmski industriji, ampak srčno sem si želela, da ne bi razočarala ljudi, ki to pevko obožujejo in jim veliko pomeni. Ko sem ustvarjala vlogo, mi je resnično prirasla k srcu, zato ji ne bi želela narediti slabe usluge.« Angelina Jolie pa v vlogi operne dive, čeprav je vanjo očitno vložila veliko truda in predanosti, nekako ne zaživi najbolje. Kot je nekoč povedal mehiški cineast Alejandro Gonzáles Iñárritu, je že v osnovi izziv v neko vlogo postaviti nekoga zelo slavnega, ne da bi gledalci v njem videli predvsem njega samega in ne osebe, ki jo naj bi upodobil. To je povedal v kontekstu komentarja, da je v svoj film Babel zasedel Brada Pitta, nekdanjega soproga Angeline Jolie. Žal v filmu Maria Angelino Jolie gledamo predvsem kot Angelino. Pri tem ne pomaga niti ugotovitev, da je scenarij pravzaprav zelo dober – napisal ga je Steven Knight, ki ga med drugim poznamo po filmu Locke. Zgodba Marie se osredinja na kratek izsek iz življenja dive, na njeno zadnje življenjsko obdobje. Umrla je leta 1977, stara komaj 53 let, in je živela ločeno od zunanjega sveta, samo s kuharico in osebnim pomočnikom, ki sta bila obenem (kar je tudi eden od poudarkov filma) pravzaprav njena družina proti koncu njenega življenja. Film Maria je vizualno razkošen. Poudarek je na prikazu psihičnega in fizičnega zloma velike umetnice. Prek fiktivnega intervjuja dobimo vtis o pevkinem doživljanju sveta. Zgodba nakaže nekaj ključnih trenutkov v njenem življenju, ki jih vzporeja z operami, v katerih je nastopala. Melodramatični, lahko bi rekli operni naboj, se filmu prilega prav zaradi teh vzporednic. Edina težava, ki pa jo težko prezremo, je na žalost izbor osrednje igralke.
Biopics … Eigentlich nicht mein Genre: Oft werden die wichtigen Stationen abgehakt, aber der Mensch, der im Mittelpunkt steht, hat entweder klischeehafte Züge oder wird als Symbol aufgeladen. Das ist nicht Pablo Larrains Herangehensweise: MARIA konzentriert sich auf die letzte Lebenswoche von Maria Callas 1977 in Paris. Seit viereinhalb Jahren steht sie nicht mehr auf der Bühne, ihre einst übermenschliche Opernstimme hat sie nicht mehr unter Kontrolle. Sie ist tablettensüchtig, schwer krank und behandelt ihre Haushaltsdame und ihren Butler mit einer Mischung aus Liebe und Schikane. Von hier springen wir in ihre Erinnerungen, an die deutschen Soldaten in Griechenland, an die sie ihre Mutter verkauft hat, an Triumphe auf allen großen Opernbühnen, an Onassis, der ihr das Singen verboten hat. Steven Knight findet in seinem Drehbuch eine bemerkenswert gelungene Balance zwischen psychologischen Einblicken auf der einen Seite und Prominenz und Popkultur auf der anderen Seite. (Steven Knight ist übrigens der Regisseur und Drehbuchautor von LOCKE!) Im Podcast direkt nach dem Film rede ich mit Katharina über Angeline Jolie, die eine außergewöhnliche Leistung als Schauspielerin zeigt, über Puccini und halluzinierte Interviews, über verschobene Klaviere, die Sucht nach Anbetung, über Star-Status und berührende Szenen.

As always, give us a review on iTunes with the name of a movie you'd like us to review, and we'll discuss it on a later podcast.
They say you should never invite a vampire into your home, because then they can come and go as they please, without even stopping to do the dishes. But what if you invite the director of a vampire movie into your podcast? Well, frankly, Pablo Larrain, the brilliant Chilean director of Jackie, No, and Spencer is welcome to drop into the podbooth any time after this week's episode, in which Chris Hewitt invites him to sit down and natter all about his new movie, El Conde, in which the Chilean director, General Pinochet, is reimagined as a bloodsucking, power-hungry vampire. Either side of that chat (which starts at 41:36.00 approximately, and goes on to 1:00:52.00 approx.), Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara and James Dyer. Together, the trio chat about James' Indiana Jones-related mishap in a film quiz, they look at the week's movie news (such as it is; this was recorded before the Aquaman 2 trailer dropped); and review Kenneth Branagh's A Haunting In Venice, El Conde, Brother, Love Life, and Cassandro. Plus, they tackle a listener question about the impact of Covid and the current strikes on cinema chains, and come up with a revolutionary path forward for cinema. Enjoy.
Comenzaremos la primera parte del programa hablando de la cumbre del G20, en donde Brasil asumió la presidencia; y de la despenalización del aborto en México. Hablaremos también de un informe que alerta sobre las especies invasoras como el jacinto de agua; y para finalizar, del jugador de fútbol Neymar, quien ha roto el récord de goles de Pelé para la Selección de Brasil. En nuestra sección Trending in Latin America hablaremos de dos temas muy interesantes. Primero, de la película de Pablo Larrain que muestra al dictador Pinochet como un vampiro. Y cerraremos la emisión hablando de los lugares más sagrados de América Latina. - Brasil asume la presidencia del G20 - México despenaliza el aborto a nivel nacional - La amenaza del jacinto de agua y otras especies invasoras - Neymar rompe el récord de goles del “rey” Pelé - La película que presenta al dictador Pinochet como un vampiro - La Basílica de Guadalupe y otros sitios sagrados de América Latina
Just a quick midweek drop in here at Breakfast All Day but it's loaded with good stuff. We have reviews of a couple of films we both really liked: Pablo Larrain's lushly beautiful, black-and-white "El Conde," which depicts former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet as an actual vampire; and the witty and sweet indie dramedy "Scrapper," which has hints of "Paper Moon" in its unusual father-daughter bond. (Christy loved it.) In news, we discuss box office, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, Drew Barrymore and more. And over at our Patreon, we recap the star-studded latest episode of "Only Murders in the Building" on Hulu. Thanks for joining us!

The Architect - a play marking the 30th anniversary of the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence - will take place on a double-decker bus travelling the route on which Stephen was attacked in 1993. Presenter Allan Little speaks to the director Matthew Xia and one of the playwrights, Bola Agbaje. Small independent publishers appear to be on a winning streak - last year several prestigious literary prizes were won by small presses, despite the inflationary pressures that have put some out of business. To discuss what's behind the rise - and fall - of small publishers, Allan is joined by Natania Jansz of Sort of Books, Valerie Brandes of Jacaranda Books, and Kevin Duffy of Bluemoose Books. Chilean film director Pablo Larrain has switched from biopics on Jackie Kennedy and Princess Diana to create a world in which dictator General Pinochet is a vampire - he talks to Alan about his new film, El Conde. Schools are being closed because of the discovery in their buildings of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC), which can crumble and cause sudden collapse. It was used from the 1950s to the 1980s, not only in schools and hospitals, but also in theatres and venues. Already, two theatres and a concert hall have had to close. Matthew Hemley of The Stage newspaper has been investigating and discusses the implications. Presenter: Allan Little Producer: Julian May The Architect 05:59 Small Publishers 14:56 El Conde 29:50
