Podcasts about peterloo

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.  Today we discuss Mike Leigh, one of our greatest living filmmakers. Born in England in 1943, Leigh remains an artist for the everyday person more than most. And this descriptor is quite reductive, as the writer/director's aesthetic is deceivingly simple and incredibly effective. Our B-Sides are Life is Sweet, Career Girls, All or Nothing, and Peterloo. Our guest is Alex Heeney, Editor-in-Chief of The Seventh Row, co-author of Peterloo in Process, and host of the Seventh Row Podcast. They've covered several of Leigh's films on the podcast, including Naked and Hard Truths.  Heeney also put together a short guide just for our listeners! https://email.seventh-row.com/bside It features a standout 2024 release that's flown under the radar—with characters as rich and layered as Leigh's best. It includes a spoiler-free intro, where to watch, and a few thoughtful prompts to deepen the experience. We talk with Heeney about Leigh's unique, collaborative development for each new film, his early work with the BBC and Channel 4 (Bleak Moments, Meantime, High Hopes among others) before Life is Sweet's modest breakout success.  There's also discussion about Secrets & Lies and the immediate follow-up Career Girls, which feels in many ways like a companion to Naked. We also debate whether or not the flashbacks in Career Girls are the product of memory or a more traditional narrative construction. We celebrate the breadth of Timothy Spall's range in Leigh's films (including his powerful turn in All or Nothing), I praise Leigh's incredible short film A Sense of History. We chat over our favorite Mike Leigh films and some of his films that haven't worked as well for us. And above all else, we marvel at his ability to find the truth in his characters, big and small.

This week, we discuss two historical dramas about political resistance. The first is Peterloo (2018), which tells the harrowing story of the 1819 massacre in Manchester, where peaceful protesters were met with deadly force while demanding political reform. The second is The Wind that Shakes the Barley (2006), which follows two brothers caught on opposite sides of Ireland's fight for independence and the ensuing civil war.   Timestamps What we've been watching (00:01:00) – Better Call Saul, Threads, Big Hero 6, Small Things Like These, A Complete Unknown Peterloo (00:39:20) The Wind that Shakes the Barley (01:06:40) Coin toss (01:33:35)   Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie   Letterboxd – @andycifpod @fat-tits mcmahon   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links - https://www.justwatch.com

As Mike Leigh's five-decade career takes centre stage at the Paris Cinémathèque for a retrospective, the British filmmaker speaks to Eve Jackson about 50 years of making movies, from the raw intensity of "Naked" and the jubilant optimism of "Happy-Go-Lucky", to historical storytelling in "Peterloo" and "Mr Turner". With accolades like the Palme d'Or for "Secrets & Lies" at the Cannes Film festival and the Golden Lion for "Vera Drake" at Venice, at 82 Leigh continues to illuminate humanity's complexities with his latest film "Hard Truths".

***Join the Seventh Row newsletter to stay updated on myfrenchfilmfestival and other unique opportunities to watch under-the-radar films: http://email.seventh-row.com Legendary British filmmaker Mike Leigh has a new film out in cinemas called Hard Truths, which is one of the best films of the year. What makes Mike Leigh's films so good and so uniquely Mike Leigh Films is inextricable from the process he uses to make them. But there are quite a few common myths and misconceptions about his process, including that his films are improvised and, confusingly, that his films are rehearsed. In this episode, Alex debunks these myths using research for her 2018 book Peterloo in Process: A Mike Leigh Collaboration. The book dives deeper into Leigh's process through interviews with him and his collaborators on the film, both behind and in front of the camera.  You can purchase a copy of Peterloo in Process at http://mikeleighbook.com Related Episodes TIFF 2024 #4: British social realism: Mike Leigh's Hard Truths and Andrea Arnold's Bird Ep. 119 Mike Leigh's Naked Ep. 32 Sorry We Missed You and Peterloo Ep. 11 Mike Leigh's Peterloo ------- Stay updated on Seventh Row Follow Seventh Row on Twitter, Bluesky and Instagram. Read our articles at seventh-row.com.

A new film from Mike Leigh is always a cause for celebration. Starting with his first feature Bleak Moments in 1971, Leigh has carved out a singular place in British and global cinema for his beautifully sensitive and detailed portraits of the lives of his largely working-class characters. His latest, Hard Truths, arrives six years after his previous release, the 2018 historical drama Peterloo. The new film reunites Leigh with the great actress Marianne Jean-Baptiste, with whom he worked on the Oscar-nominated Secrets & Lies in 1996. In Hard Truths, Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a middle-aged Londoner teetering on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Perpetually unhappy, she spends her days spewing vitriol at everyone she encounters—especially her resigned husband (David Webber) and depressed adult son (Tuwaine Barrett). Only after she is confronted by her sister, played by Leigh veteran Michelle Austin, does she begin to confront the roots of her inexplicable anger. On today's Podcast, Film Comment Editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute sat down with Leigh to dig into his process—everything from casting actors and choosing locations to working with music composers and choosing the film's title. A true actor's filmmaker, Leigh works closely with his cast over months to develop characters and their backstories. What we see on screen is only, as Leigh remarked, “the tip of the iceberg.”

In this episode of the TIFF 2024 season, Alex discusses two new films from masters of British social realism: Andrea Arnold's Bird and Mike Leigh's Hard Truths. Bird had its world premiere at Cannes in May; Hard Truths had its world premiere at TIFF. Alex finds similarities in subject matter and storytelling approach between the films, including the very strong performances from some Seventh Row favourites, and discusses what each of them is individually doing that's worth noting.  Alex wrote the book on Mike Leigh's Peterloo and his process, so her discussion of Hard Truths places it within Leigh's oeuvre and discusses how his signature process helped make this film an impressive achievement.

Writer and resident Gilbert & Sullivan expert Julia Sirmons joins to discuss Mike Leigh's 'Topsy-Turvy', a story of the aforementioned musical duo and the production of one of their most popular shows, 'The Mikado'. It's a film that feels at once like an outliler in Leigh's career up to that point (his first film not set in contemporary working-class London) and a pitch-perfect culmination of many of his career-long explorations. We begin with a discussion about the legacy of director Mike Leigh, his unusual method for drawing brilliant performances from his ensemble of some of the very best British actors, and his trademark style and narrative construction. Then, we unpack the works of Gilbert & Sullivan, exploring Topsy-Turvy's commitment to authenticity in its recreation of 19th century English theater culture, and the wise decision to focus the film on a particularly unstable moment in the long collaboration between the wordsmith and composer. Finally, we discuss the film's evocation of art and its production process, emphasizing the granular repetition of the work as well as the undergirding capitalist mechanics that necessitated performers assume a strong identity as a collective labor force.

From a young age, actor Danny Kirrane had intrusive thoughts and suffered anxiety, overthinking and imposter syndrome. Acting and food was the perfect escape until his family life fell apart aged 18 which made his conditions snowball and created a food addiction and an unhealthy relationship with food. Danny found the courage to find therapy which has transformed his mindset and career. Although he can still struggle with anxiety and can still use food as a way to cope and push down negative emotions - his relationship with himself and an acceptance of what makes him human means he no longer punishes himself and is in control of a positive mindset. Danny generously shares his journey and has valuable insights and techniques for anyone inside and outside the performing arts industry who struggles with anxiety, rumination, overthinking, imposter syndrome and binge eating. More on Danny - Danny Kirrane is a leading actor in the period drama The Serpent Queen for Starz/Lionsgate co-starring with Samantha Morton and Charles Dance and he has just finished filming the Netflix comedy drama Baby Reindeer. Other lead roles in shows include The Sandman, Wasted, Don't Forget the Driver & Critical. Other shows include Peterloo, Skins, The Inbetweeners & The Pirates of The Caribbean. Danny has extensive theatre credits including Mark Rylance's West End production of Jerusalem. Danny completed a Physics with Astrophysics Degree at Leeds University before becoming an actor after training with the National Youth Theatre.

In Episode #148 sprechen Thomas Laufersweiler (SchönerDenken) und Lucas Barwenczik über "Born in Flames" von Regisseurin Lizzie Borden. Originalbeschreibung bei SchönerDenken: Frauen sind immer noch das benachteiligte, oft sogar unterdrückte Geschlecht. Würde eine linke Revolution, eine linke Politik daran etwas ändern? Diese Frage wollte Lizzie Borden vor 40 Jahren mit BORN IN FLAMES beantworten. Der Film ist ein Punk-Science-Fiction, genauer eine Near Future-Dystopie: BORN IN FLAMES zeigt die USA, zehn Jahre nach einer linken Machtübernahme. Für die Frauen hat sich kaum etwas verbessert, immer noch werden sie mit der Bedrohung durch Vergewaltigung, mit Care-Arbeit und den Kindern alleine gelassen. Wenn sie einen Job haben, werden sie von den Männern als Konkurrenz abgelehnt. Und wenn die Frauen protestieren, verlieren sie ihre Job. Lizzie Borden zeigt in ihrer rauhen, körnigen Mockumentary, eine Frauen-Armee, die überlegt, ob sie zu den Waffen greifen soll. Erzählt wird in Bruchstücken, unter anderem mit Ausschnitten aus den TV-Nachrichten, die offenbar von „der Partei“ kontrolliert werden und in mitreißenden Moderationen von feministischen Piratenradios. BORN IN FLAMES ist kraftvoll und rauh, redet Klartext und stellt die Kernfrage zur Debatte: Mit welchen Mitteln kann die notwendige Änderung der Verhältnisse herbeigeführt werden? Kluger, eigensinniger, ruppiger und sehr sehenswerter Film. Im Podcast reden wir über den fünfjährigen Entstehungsprozess, die guerilla-artige Umsetzung, über Universalismus, die RAF, Penisse und Putenfleisch, Kathryn Bigelow und vor allem über die Frage: Wie geht es nach der Revolution weiter? Zitate aus dem feministischen Untergrundradio: Honey: „We are the children of the light and we will continue to fight. Not against the flesh and blood; but, against the system that names itself falsely. For we have stood on the promises far too long now. That we can all be equal – under the cover of a social democracy. Where the rich get richer and the poor just wade in their dreams.“ Isabel: „Good morning. This is Isabel broadcasting from the new Phoenix Regazza Radio station. We are all, women and men, the prophets of this new age. And for those of us who would be safer in the sensibilities of racism, seperatism and martyrdom: if you can't help us towards building this living church, then step out of the way. The scope and capabilities of human love are as wide and encompassing as this vast universe that we all swirl in. One for all, and all for one-ness. This fight will not end in terrorism and violence. It will not end in a nuclear holocaust. It begins in the celebration of the rites of alchemy. The transformation of shit into gold. The illumination of dark chaotic night into light. This is the time of sweet, sweet change for us all. This is Isabel from Phoenix Regazza Radio, signing off until tomorrow.“ Shownotes (könnten durch das andere Intro minimal anders sein) 00:00:00 Begrüßung 00:00:37 Warum BORN IN FLAMES? 00:02:29 Lucas hat eine Rechnung offen 00:03:38 Von der Schwierigkeit Lizzie Borden zu finden 00:05:23 Die Story 00:08:35 Die Entstehung 00:11:18 Form und Textur 00:18:21 Die Situation der Frauen in der Gegenwart 00:20:34 Ideologische Einordnung 00:26:12 Die Partei 00:28:12 Gewalt als Mittel der Veränderung 00:32:53 Kontrolle über die Narrative in den Medien 00:36:51 Penis und Pute: Die Montagetechnik 00:38:41 Die Wahl der Mittel zur Veränderung 00:40:56 Rezeption bei Erscheinen 00:45:03 Nach der Revolution 00:47:59 Das Ende der Aufklärung 00:50:35 Das Schlussbild 00:51:46 Lizzie Bordens Karriere 00:52:14 Rehabilitation von Vergewaltigern? 00:53:10 Revolutionen sind reaktionär 00:55:46 Die gleichen Probleme 1983 wie 2023 00:56:47 Inland Empire 00:58:15 Über Lucas und Longtake 00:59:29 Über SchönerDenken (und PETERLOO) 01:02:21 Ende

Wir gehen zwei Jahrhunderte zurück: Grossbritannien 1819. Eine Kundgebung, geplant von der Manchester Patriotic Union Society. 80.000 unbewaffnete Menschen, die gegen die Getreidezölle und für eine Parlamentsreform demonstrieren. Wichtigster Sprecher: Henry Hunt. Doch die lokalen Behörden haben beschlossen, die Versammlung vor der Rede aufzulösen und die Anführer zu verhaften. Dafür waren 600 Husaren, 120 Yeomanry-Kavalleristen und zwei Sechspfünder-Kanonen sowie mehrere hundert Infanteristen und Polizisten bereitgestellt. 120 Kavalleristen drangen mit gezogenem Säbel auf die Menge ein, um zu den Rednern durchzudringen. Henry Hunt (im Film gespielt von Rory Kinnear) und mehrere andere Personen, darunter Journalisten, wurden verhaftet. Als die Menge Widerstand leistete, griffen die Husaren ein. Dabei wurden 15 Menschen getötet, darunter ein Baby, etwa 600 wurden verletzt von Säbelhieben und Schlagstöcken. Nach einer Viertelstunde war das Massaker vorbei. Und da niemand diese Geschichte auf die Leinwand bringen wollte, hat es 2018 Mike Leigh getan. Und da niemand den Film wahrgenommen hat, haben molosovsky und Thomas von SchönerDenken sich intensiv mit PETERLOO auseinandergesetzt.Zitieren wir Ruth Rach vom Deutschlandfunk: “Der Tag ist heiß und sonnig. Zwischen 60.000 und 100.000 Menschen marschieren in Richtung St. Peters Field. Männer, Frauen, Kinder. Sie kommen aus ganz Nordengland. Die Leute tragen Sonntagskleidung. Den Marsch haben sie wochenlang eingeprobt, denn er soll wohl geordnet verlaufen. Und friedlich. Niemand ist bewaffnet. Musikbands begleiten sie auf dem Weg. Die Menschen tanzen, singen, tragen Spruchbänder. Sie wollen Parlamentsreformen, einen eigenen Abgeordneten in Westminster und niedrigere Getreidezölle. Dann rückt die Kavallerie vor, zusammen mit Infanteristen und Polizisten. Freiwillige Soldaten – von lokalen Fabrikanten und Geschäftsleuten finanziert – ziehen ihre Säbel, attackieren die Menschenmenge. Wahllos. Brutal. Sie wollen die Hauptredner verhaften. Die Kundgebung endet mit einem Blutbad. Mindestens 15 Menschen werden getötet, bis zu 700 verletzt.”Die totgeschwiegene Geschichte von Peterloo führt Ungleichheit vor, brutalen Klassismus, eine den herrschenden Klassen dienende Justiz, die Paranoia des Konservatismus und die Geburt des Raubtierkapitalismus. Mike Leigh zeigt uns in seinem hochspannenden, sehr fein beobachtenden und perfekt inszenierten Film ein Schulfernsehen auf Speed, erklärt, bewegt und haut Molo und Thomas vom Stuhl – spätestens als der in Waterloo traumatisierte ehemalige Soldat Joseph (David Moorst) wieder auf britische Soldaten trifft. Ein episches, ein olympisches, ein maßstabsetzendes Meisterwerk.Einen großen Dank an unseren wunderbaren und klugen Gast molosovsky für die spannende Diskussion und die gemeinsame Liebe zu diesem Meisterwerk! Bitte beachtet auch am Ende Molos Literaturhinweise zur Vertiefung der Hintergründe. Und Danke an Euch Zuhörer:innen für Eure Geduld und Aufmerksamkeit.PETERLOO ist die zweite Folge einer geplanten gemeinsamen Trilogie mit molosovsky über Filme, die sich mit der politischen und sozialen Geschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts beschäftigen. In der ersten Folge widmeten wir uns dem herausragenden THE NIGHTINGALE der Meisterregisseurin Jennifer Kent.

We explore one reason for the remarkable industrial peace experienced by Britain during the Industrial Revolution.   Peterloo, Luddites and Chartists, saw bodies, but in such small amounts that it was nothing compared to the French Revolution, 1848 and other episodes of repression.Anglican latitudinarianism resulted in a somewhat boring religion for the lower classes, that ignored the excitement of Christ's love.  The Evangelical Revival, known as the Great Awakening in the US, stepped right in.We pay most of our attention to the Methodists, covering John Wesley's conversion and the Methodist approach to the poor.

This is an excerpt of a members only episode. To listen to the full episode, become a member at http://seventh-row.com/join One of the best movies of 2022, Jerzy Skolimowski's visually and aurally inventive Eo, is now in cinemas for a limited time. The film is about injustice in the animal world seen through the eyes of a donkey. It's a great big screen experience (for sound and image) so we're going deep on the film this week. Editor-in-Chief Alex Heeney and Executive Editor Orla Smith are joined by Associate Editor Dr. Brett "Empathy" Pardy.  About the excerpt In this excerpt, we discuss whether Eo is presented as an "exceptional" animal/donkey in the film. Many films about animals depict them as exceptional, like Air Bud the golden retriever who can play basketball or Okja the superpig. In many ways, Skolimowski's film bucks convention here by making Eo a fairly normal donkey whose experiences (and the way he's depicted) render him a subject of interest rather than because he's a particularly special donkey.  We ask, why do we care about animals on screen (in general) and why do we care about Eo? Does a home exist for a donkey like Eo? Become a member to listen to the rest of the discussion, which includes: In the full episode, we go even deeper on how the film creates empathy for a donkey and give a donkey the appearance of a full emotional inner-life.

Glenda Jackson is the subject of a BFI season and in this film she plays part of a love triangle in John Schlesinger's follow up to his Oscar winning Midnight Cowboy.

We return to our archive and remember a conversation with Mike Leigh about Peterloo, a gritty, real and sorrowful film from this excellent British director.'With one of my films you're discovering things - be they real things or things I've invented which take on a new reality for you because that's what it's all about.' – Mike LeighThere is nothing not ambitious about Mike Leigh's twenty-first film, in which he turns his attention to the 1819 Massacre in St Peter's Field, Manchester, where British forces attacked a peaceful pro-democracy rally. The collection of characters include reformers, members of the government, the military, royalty, journalists and not forgetting a couple of spies - portrayed by the likes of Marion Bailey, Rory Kinnear, Maxine Peake and Tim McInnerny. Working with a regular team of collaborators behind the camera, this film is packed densely tight with layered drama, emotion, and historic relevance. We met with the director to explore its many themes and messages.Leigh's films include the much praised and referenced Abigail's Party, Vera Drake, Secrets & Lies, Happy-Go-Lucy, or the one most relevant to this film and interview, his portrayal of the British painter in Mr Turner.

Surprise! A quick sequel! We're actually sorta staying consistent finally! What else is there to do, amirite? Anyway it's part 2 of our favorite movies from 2019! Check it out!

Ken Loach and Mike Leigh, two long time British directors associated with social realism, are frequently compared to each other, despite having significantly different approaches. Loach's latest film, Sorry We Missed You reminded us of Leigh's most recent film Peterloo in their political commitment to improving the lives of the working class. Sorry We Missed You (2019) is a contemporary film about a working-class man who ends up in an increasingly horrible hellscape after he starts gig work delivering packages for Amazon. Peterloo (2018) is a period drama that illuminates the real life story of the rally to get the vote in Manchester in St. Peter's Square in 1800s Manchester, a working class city on the rise.   In this episode, Editor-in-Chief Alex Heeney is joined by Executive Editor Orla Smith and Associate Editor Brett Pardy to discuss how Loach and Leigh approach politics, character, and much more.
