A young, award winning director desperately trying to complete a movie on the open sea, whilst battling a comedy genius who is trying to sabotage his own film. SYNOPSIS In September 1973 Peter Sellers embarked on the production of a 17th Century pirate comedy in Cyprus for Columbia Pictures (Ghost in the Noonday Sun). Sellers lost confidence with the film as soon as it began and desperately tried to sabotage it, firing the producers in the first week and then setting his sights on his friend the director, Peter Medak. At its core lies the story of an unraveling production but also the tale of a young director firmly on a path to greatness. Medak had made 3 back-to-back successes; most notably 'The Ruling Class' in 1972 with Peter O'Toole (nominated for the Palm D'Or). This film changed his career forever. After 43 years the wounds have barely healed for Medak and this is his opportunity to tell the story and finally release the weight associated with its failure. The Ghost of Peter Sellers is a comic-tragic feature doc about what it takes to be a film director and survive your biggest disaster. Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvmX_lThtxc

Parasite (2019) discussed

Parasite (Korean title: 기생충) made headlines in May when it won Cannes Film Festival's prestigious Palm d'Or prize, the first Korean film to ever do so. Now it's November and suddenly people around us who are not so familiar with Korean cinema are starting to talk about it as it's being distributed in America and Europe. It seemed like a good time to talk about director Bong Joon Ho (Korean: 봉준호), namely why we like him, what we thought about Parasite, and what signature filmmaking moves he always makes that you should look for when you go see it. Because you should definitely see it. • We talked about the blurred lines between Indie and Industry film. Here’s an article about how these two models of filmmaking are working in the current world of film. It’s not definitive, but it’s the start of a larger conversation. https://www.hollywoodinsider.com/independent-films-vs-blockbuster/ • Way back in 2016 Stephen Elliott argued that film festivals are a scam. It’s a pretty compelling argument https://therumpus.net/2016/05/the-great-film-festival-swindle/ • Bong Joon Ho is so good at doing interesting and unexpected things with his films, that he begged the press in an open letter not to reveal anything that wasn’t in the film’s trailer, so audiences would be surprised when it took that turn that’s always in a Bong Joon Ho film. • Soo Zee mentioned the lady who funded Parasite. There's not much information in English about her, but here's something in Korean http://www.businesspost.co.kr/BP?command=article_view&num=128976 • We didn’t go into too much detail about the 52-hour workweek, and there’s a lot to unpack about it http://www.donga.com/en/article/all/20190528/1743264/1/Palme-d-Or-winner-Parasite-guarantees-52-hour-workweek-for-film-crew • Bong Joon Ho did a Notes on a Scene too where he broke down the hows and the whys of Parasite's opening sequence https://youtu.be/bP-eqx2X9AY • He did an Anatomy of a Scene with the New York Times too, this one talking about Soo Zee's favorite scene, where they try to get the housekeeper fired https://youtu.be/FxLOTM1wliI

Bong Joon-ho directed films. Sarah Watt, William Chen and Jeremy Downing discuss Bong Joon-ho's films Parasite and Snowpiercer. We begin by discussing Parasite, particularly its status as the winner of the 2019 Palm d'Or and the way an audience should come into the watching of the film, mainly with no spoilers. We compare Parasite to the work of Tarantino, particularly Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood and Inglourious Basterds, and how the both directors are working within the realms of building tension and paying it off. Our discussion then moves to Snowpiercer, and its balance of reality and heightened-reality. We compare the film to the work of Jean-Pierre Jeunet, particularly Alien: Resurrection, Delicatessen, City of Lost Children and Micmacs, and the work of Terry Gilliam. We then talk about the themes of class explored in both films, how heavy-handed that exploration is and how the films bring about questions of the morality of class systems.

Welcome to the last ever episode of The Oxbridge Entrance Exam podcast. It's a podcast I've done every day of the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe, damn those who have dragged their shows out til the last Monday. It's a podcast where I (Lee Kyle) interview a comedian in the guise of an elderly lecturer and ask them a question that you may get asked if you wanted to get into a top university. Along the way, he may or may not have murdered his wife. Look, it's gone a bit odd, there's a brief 'previously on this show' bit on this episode if you want to catch up quickly. Who better to guest on the last episode than my best podcast pal, Palm D'or winner (In a way) and Edinburgh prize nominee (At a huge stretch) Sammy T Dobson? Loads of people but she insisted.

English listeners! And Dutch listeners who enjoy English podcasts...! You are in for a treat, because Duimpjeworstelen is tipping its hat to the great Quentin Tarantino. This episode will be all about Pulp Fiction, his break-out hit from 1994, which won the Palm d'Or and the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. A stylish gangster noir, set in the streets of Los Angeles. Our podguest Devansh Gupta wasn't a fan the first time he saw this film back in university in India. And he hasn't warmed to it since. Devansh is an expat living in Nijmegen, who is an aspiring filmmaker himself. And he has his own video essay channel: Watching Films Closely. His main qualm with Pulp Fiction is its lack of depth. Also we'll be talking about sympathy for gangsters, the surfy soundtrack and 'the final triumph of postmodernism'.

On this week's episode, Sam reviews the new Tomb Raider movie starring Alicia Vikander as the iconic Lara Croft. Danny refused to accompany him as he was strongly put off by the lack of giant triangular tits or as he put it, "The PC brigade have cucked my childhood!" Sam, however, thought it was ok.Instead, Danny went to see Ruben Ostlund's The Square, the Palm D'or winning film about how modern art is shallow and the middle classes are all twats or something? As a middle class, pretentious moron he loved every second of it and during the screening was heard yelling stuff like "That's what i'm like!" "HAHA good one Ostlund!" and "I am being lampooned really well!"They also found time to discuss the latest project from Spike Lee and have their eyes opened to the fact that the Men In Black franchise is fascist propaganda the likes of which Leni Riefenstahl could only dream about.

The latest Palm d'Or winner is a Palm d'Bore.

It had to happen sometime, and it's taken 91 episodes, but this is possibly the most shambolic podcast ever committed to the Internet. And for us, that's saying something. Owen manages to confuse two very different TV programmes, Steve doesn't watch the one film he was meant to, and while trying to make a very important point James manages to forget the name of a film, the actress in it, and what she said. It's not a complete bust of an episode though, and there are reviews of the Carrie remake, Palm d'Or winner Blue is the Warmest Colour, and Parkland. James also talks about the best and the worst films he's seen so far this year.

Too...many...movies! Brain...exploding! It's an all movie review sorta show this week as we'll take a look at controversial Palm d'Or winner Blue is the Warmest Color; the old-age comedy Last Vegas; Ender's Game; Kill Your Darlings starring Daniel Radcliffe; and lastly Keanu Reeves' Man of Tai Chi!
