For as long as I've been a devotee of cinema, I've followed the career of Patricia Clarkson. Patricia is a genuine queen of the screen, featuring in films like The Station Agent, Far From Heaven, The Green Mile, and Pieces of April, for which she received an Academy Award nomination. Her latest films is the magnificent drama film Monica, featuring Trace Lysette (Transparent, Hustlers) who plays the titular character, a trans woman who poses as a support worker to visit her dying mother, Eugenia (Patricia Clarkson). Due to Eugenia's abusive nature, Monica left the family years ago, only to be drawn back into the fold by her sister-in-law, Laura (Emily Browning), to make amends with her mother.Unresolved trauma hovers under the surface of Monica's exterior, with Trace Lysette delivering a performance that stuns with its authenticity and complexity, and when she shares the screen with Patricia Clarkson, the film truly soars. Director Andrea Pallaoro, alongside co-writer Orlando Tirado, has crafted a masterful trans narrative which was part of a landmark year of LGBTIQA+ cinema in 2023.In the above interview, Patricia talks about her work throughout the years, the importance of celebrating and championing queer voices, and the joy of working alongside Trace Lysette.Monica screens at the upcoming Mardis Gras Queer Screen festival, running in cinemas in Sydney from 15-29 February 2024, with select films heading online for on demand screenings across Australia from 1-11 March 2024. Tickets can be purchased at QueerScreen.com.au.

There's something for everyone.Monica screens at Queer Screen on Tuesday 27 February 2024. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thank you for checking the latest soicially distanced episode of Film Scribes the Official Philadelphia Film Critics Circle Podcast. This week the scribes on deck Rich Heimlich (/comment), Stephen Silver (Philadelphia Inquirer/Broad Street Review), Rich Drees (filmbuffonline), and Dan Tabor (Cinapse.co) review the latest by Philly auteur M. Night Shyamalan Knock at the Cabin We also dig into the yet unrelease DC epic The People's Joker.  As always any feedback or questions can be sent to Filmscribes@philafcc.org to be discussed on a future show.     

The People's Joker is a masterpiece. It's a rude queer coming of age story unlike anything I've ever experienced. Watching the film let me see stories that I personally couldn't experience and see perspectives outside my own. With the film being a satire of so many characters I've known my whole life, it was wonderful to get to see them used as tools to tell this story. The director and co-writer Vera Drew said something during the post Q&A that has stuck with me since. She spoke about how she made this film for young her because she really needed something like this. Something about that hit me hard because it's a film that hasn't been given the ability to find those people who need it. When people create art often times it what they want to see without realizing how many more people need to see it as well. No one knows how many nerdy kids are struggling with their identity out there in the world who fear what will come of becoming who they want to be. I truly hope this film finds the people who need it because as much as it is crude and funny, it's a story of discovery and becoming your authentic self. I didn't review the film because I don't think I'm equipped to do it. I don't have the insight and a cis man going on about his thoughts on something like this isn't something I truly want to read either so why would you? Instead, I reached out to Vera Drew to come talk with me about the film. We talk a lot about comedy, art and their experiences. We also talk about bologna and Joel Schumacher for a long time. What we don't talk about is the legal circus surrounding the film so do not click play expecting that. Instead listen and support Vera so the people who could benefit from seeing a movie as deeply personal and as queer as The People's Joker. Vera's Patreon Vera's Twitter

Note della puntata: Questa settimana apro con la perdita di Jean-Luc Godard che tuttavia offre una spinta motivazionale per parlare della Nouvelle Vague, un movimento fondamentale per l'evoluzione del linguaggio cinematografico e che ha ispirato autori del nostro presente come Quentin Tarantino o Martin Scorsese. La Nouvelle Vague è una delle ragioni dietro la mia convinzione che sia necessario capire linguaggi e opere prima di poter parlare di innovazione. Un principio che si applica a molte forme d'arte ma anche alla stessa evoluzione dell'umanità. Senza pensiero non c'è umanità.Per rendere ulteriore omaggio a Jean-Luc Godard vi parlo di “Band à part” nella sezione dedicata alle recensioni.Continuando a parlare di Cinema, di festival e di grammatica: il caso di “The People's Joker”. Il film è una parodia/coming-of-age transgender ambientata nel mondo di Batman. Presentata al Toronto International Film Festival, sfrutta parzialmente “Joker” di Todd Phillips, ergo il famoso villain DC, per attirare molte attenzioni.Il film ha ricevuto immediatamente lo stop di Warner Bros. per violazione di copyright e dopo la prima è stato ritirato dal festival. Parliamo un secondo di questo caso, poiché è un simpatico esempio di “folclore cinematografico” affascinante da esplorare. Mi sento un po' Robert California in questo momento. La regista, sceneggiatrice, attrice, commediante e transgender Vera Drew sembra un po' alla ricerca dei suoi 15 minuti di popolarità (che sta trovando.) E poi? E com'è il film?  In coda, dopo altre piccanti news, parlo di TV e mentre mi gratto il capo guardando agli ambiziosi intenti produttivi di Prime Video, veleggiando verso Blade Runner 2099, discuto brevemente degli Emmy 2022. Per le recensioni vi parlo di Cyberpunk: Edgerunners e La casa tra le onde. Per i Patreon che rimangono per l'After-Show: questa settimana parlo di due esempi sintomo dei nostri scellerati esercizi di distribuzione e promozione: Evangelion Thrice Upon a Time e Dampyr.Buon ascolto!Support the show
