Are you looking for ways to bring more joy and less stress to your caregiving journey?   Susie Singer Carter is most proud of producing and directing her documentary, “No Country for Old People”, a nursing home expose. She is also proud of two short docs, “WOMEN WHO WROTE THE WAY” and “BREAKING GOOD” for the WGA's Women's History Month in 2017 and 2018.    The inspirational films honor trailblazing female writers – from Phyllis Nagy to Tina Fey – who have been responsible for cracking the glass ceiling and newer female writers who have followed their lead. Both screened at the WGA.   Caring for a loved one with dementia can feel overwhelming. Yet, as highlighted this episode featuring insights from the documentary "No Country for Old People," there are ways to find grace, joy, and better understanding in this challenging journey.   This episode offers a fresh perspective on dementia care, focusing on aspects often overlooked by traditional advice.   Understanding Dementia Beyond Stereotypes Many people hold stereotypical views of dementia, often seeing it as a condition that strips away a person's identity. However, this documentary reveals a different narrative. It shows that individuals with dementia retain their emotional intelligence and can still form meaningful connections.   The Power of Emotional Memory One of the key takeaways from the podcast is the importance of emotional memory. Even when cognitive functions decline, emotional memories persist. This means your loved one might not remember your name, but they will remember how you make them feel. This insight encourages caregivers to focus on creating positive, loving interactions.   Overcoming Embarrassment and Stigma Caregivers often struggle with feelings of embarrassment when their loved ones act out of character. The podcast stresses that these behaviors are more about our own discomfort than theirs. Accepting this can help caregivers provide better support and reduce their stress.   The Role of the Healthcare System The documentary sheds light on systemic issues in nursing home care, emphasizing the need for vigilance and advocacy from caregivers. It reveals how underfunding and neglect can severely impact the well-being of dementia patients. Caregivers are encouraged to be proactive and assertive in ensuring their loved ones receive the care they deserve.   Practical Tips for Caregivers Routine and Consistency: Embrace Humor Advocate Relentlessly Focus on Emotional Well-being Stay Educated and Informed   Building a Supportive Community The episode emphasizes the importance of building a supportive community. Whether through support groups, family, or friends, having a network can provide much-needed emotional and practical support.   Conclusion The insights from "No Country for Old People" offer a valuable perspective for caregivers of loved ones with dementia. By focusing on emotional connections, advocating for better care, and embracing humor and support, caregivers can navigate this journey with grace and find moments of joy amidst the challenges. Remember, you are not alone in this journey. There are resources and communities out there ready to support you. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those we care for.   Join Our Support Group If you need more help and support, consider joining our monthly meetup.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision-making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 4 of the Director Watch Podcast, they are joined by Kevin Jacobsen, Entertainment Weekly Content Update Editor and host of the And the Runner Up Is podcast, to discuss the latest film in their Todd Haynes series, Carol (2015). After making I'm Not There, Haynes stepped away from feature films for a lengthy eight years to focus on other projects, most notably the 2011 Mildred Pierce mini-series for HBO. But in 2015, Haynes returned to the big screen with a dazzling, romantic period drama that is considered to be one of the best films of the last decade, Carol. Working off a script written by Phyllis Nagy adapted from Patricia Highsmith's groundbreaking novel, the film follows two women, a young inspiring photographer (Rooney Mara) and an older housewife (Cate Blanchett) going through a divorce, who begin a forbidden affair that forms into a beautiful, heartbreaking love story over the course of the film. On this episode, Ryan, Jay, and Kevin dive into these two fascinating performances by Mara and Blanchett, Nagy's perfect screenplay, the expert work by everyone in the crafts departments, why the film was nominated for Best Picture, and most importantly, Haynes's evolution as a director as a filmmaker who specializes in making memorable period pieces. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h26m. The guys will be back next week to continue their Todd Haynes series with a review of Wonderstruck. Till then, let's get into it.

Hello! Welcome to the latest edition of the exclusive audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes. For this episode, I'm delighted to be joined by Hayley Schore, co-screenwriter of Call Jane, Carol director Phyllis Nagy's under-appreciated 2022 film about the "Janes", the underground group that gave Chicago women access to abortions in the pre-Roe v Wade years. Needless to say the film, which stars Elizabeth Banks, Sigourney Weaver, Chris Messina and Kata Mara, took on a horrible new resonance when the Supreme Court effectively overturned Roe v Wade in June 2022. I really enjoyed Call Jane – which can be found here (UK) and here (US) – but I was particularly struck by the clever construction of the screenplay, which is why I wanted Hayley to walk us through it. If you haven't seen the film, I urge you to track it down, and then come back and listen to hear how development took shape, and the decisions that informed its gestation across 28 screenplay drafts.

This week, See Also is feeling flung out of space. For a very special holiday Poodle, Kate is joined by Chelsea Fairless, co-host of Every Outfit on SATC, for a virtual glove-lunch. Together, they play 1950s and devolve into "dyke debauchery" while discussing our fave and yours: Carol. They cover the martinis and creamed spinach, Our Cate's voice and her period-inappropriate manicure. Also: Alsos!Based on crime novelist Patricia Highsmith's "The Price of Salt", Carol (2015) is a contemporary – and somewhat unlikely – Christmas classic from director Todd Haynes and screenwriter Phyllis Nagy, who deftly nails the spirit of the original text. That spirit is the tingling, electric air between Carol (Cate Blanchett), a married woman with a small child, and Therese (Rooney Mara) a young amateur photographer moonlighting as a department store Christmas casual. Their paths cross one morning in the toy department, a glance makes way for some light shopping chit-chat, and the seed is sewn, a glove left on the counter, and there it is – an opportunity for a second meeting, and a cross-country road trip, against all odds (which include Carol's estranged husband Herge, a gun and a looming custody battle).See Also:The original short story Carol/The Price of Salt is based onScreenwriter Phyllis Nagy discussing the way the film finally came togetherKate McKinnon's Carol parody for the Film Independent Spirit AwardsKing Princess song 1950, inspired by CarolForbidden Love: The Passions behind Patricia Highsmith's "The Price of Salt""Carol" Up CloseWatch Also:TárLoving Highsmith (with caveats discussed in the episode)Nelly & NadineWord is Out: These are the Stories of Some of our LivesThe Children's HourThe Killing of Sister GeorgeDesert HeartsHigh ArtThe L Word & The L Word: Generation Q (LOL)Also Alsos:Chels recommends: Byredo lipstick in Subtropical, Lana Del Rey - Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean BlvdJinxy recommends: her Zodiac Club extended playlist on Spotify, Gay Bar: Why We Went Out by Jamie Atherton Lin, Je Tu Il Elle Find us on Instagram @seealsopodcast Hosted on Acast.

Call Jane - Eine wahre Geschichte, aktueller denn je Review Kritik In dem starbesetzten Drama "Call Jane", das am 1.

Doch damals - der Film spielt in den 1960er Jahren und ist an wahre Begebenheiten angelehnt - wie heute werden vielen Frauen große Steine in den Weg gelegt. Davon und von einer Untergrundorganisation erzählt Phyllis Nagy in ihrer Regiearbeit, zu deren Besetzung auch noch Sigourney Weaver, Chris Messina und Kate Mara gehören. Doch ob hinter dem interessanten sowie wichtigen Thema auch ein guter Film steckt, das verraten euch Kathi und Theresia in dieser Besprechung. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge des Tele-Stammtischs!

The Abortion Counseling Service of Women's Liberation, codenamed “Jane,” performed an estimated 11,000 low-cost abortions in Chicago in the years immediately preceding the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. Jane began in 1969 as a counseling service that connected people with doctors willing to terminate their pregnancies. But soon enough, its members started assisting with the procedures, and by the end of 1971, were themselves providing as many as 90 abortions a week in addition to basic gynecological care. None of the Jane volunteers—all of them women—were doctors. They simply believed that women should take reproductive care into their own hands, as they had done for centuries prior to the advent of bans on abortion. In The Story of Jane, activist Laura Kaplan tells the story of the legendary service, of which she herself was a member.

Director Phyllis Nagy discusses her new film, Call Jane, with fellow director Sarah Pirozek in a Q&A at the DGA theater in New York. In the conversation, Nagy discusses directing actor/directors, the intentional performers who make up the soundtrack, and how restrictions make for interesting choices. Set in Chicago in 1968, the film follows Joy, a conservative housewife and mother who is faced with a devastating diagnosis when her second pregnancy leads to a life-threatening heart condition. Unable to get an exemption for a legal abortion, she turns to a clandestine group of women for help. Please note: spoilers are included. See photos and a summary of this event below: https://www.dga.org/Events/2022/December2022/CallJane_QnA_1022.aspx

Director Phyllis Nagy and stars Elizabeth Banks and Wunmi Mosaku join Anna to talk about the inspiring new film CALL JANE. CALL JANE follows Joy, played by Elizabeth Banks, a woman whose life-threatening pregnancy leads her to seek help from the 'Janes', an underground collective. In Chicago during the 1960s, a group of extraordinary women came together to secretly provide nearly 12,000 women and girls with safe abortions. Sigourney Weaver features as Virginia, the founding member of the female activist group, along with Wunmi Mosaku as Gwen, and a fantastic wider ensemble cast. In this episode, Nagy and Banks talk about how they learned of the 'Janes', discussing the importance of activism through art, and the pertinence of CALL JANE in the wake of the US Supreme Court overruling the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade case. They also talk about establishing the tone of this comedy-drama that is as entertaining as it is empowering.

It's a very special BEHIND THE LENS Halloween show as STEVE LEE talks about some big doings with THE HOLLYWOOD SOUND MUSEUM. Plus, I talk about a very important film for our time, especially with midterm elections upon us, the Phyllis Nagy-directed CALL JANE. And Oscar winner RICHARD ANDERSON surprises us with a call to not only talk sound but give us some tidbits on the upcoming political dramedy LEE'D THE WAY which he directed! Sound guru and founder of The Hollywood Sound Museum, STEVE LEE, was in-studio with us once again to announce some very important reveals and surprises about the Museum! And just what was the big announcement Steve had for us all? The Hollywood Sound Museum is having its first pop-up! Long a goal of Steve's to start with some smaller pop-ups on the sound experience as he works up to the physical museum, everyone will be able to experience a sonic montage of some of cinema's most famous sounds at the upcoming LOSCON festival! Steve's got all the skinny for us on Loscon and more Museum happenings. Plus, we get a big surprise when Oscar-winner RICHARD ANDERSON (the man behind Indy's whip in "Raiders of the Lost Ark") calls in to join in the Halloween hijinks and give us a tease for his upcoming directorial narrative feature, LEE'D THE WAY. But first, we take just a few minutes to talk about the new film CALL JANE and hear an excerpt of my exclusive interview with director PHYLLIS NAGY (Oscar-nominated for her screenplay for "Carol"). With midterm elections a week away and balloting taking place in many states already, CALL JANE is an important film for our times. Written by Hayley Schore and Roshan Sethi and directed by Phyllis, CALL JANE stars Sigourney Weaver and Elizabeth Banks in this summer of 1968 story of a married woman with an unwanted life-threatening pregnancy unable to get a legal abortion who finds help and an alliance with a group of suburban women dedicated to providing clean, safe medical care, and loving support to women in need. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

The new movie “Call Jane” is a period piece about abortion and reproductive activism in the years before Roe vs Wade was enacted. But given our post-Roe world and the very real consequences of abortion bans across the country, the plot — about a suburban housewife who desperately needs an abortion but can't get one in her state — sounds like it could be ripped from our 2022 headlines. What can a story about our past struggles teach us about our present circumstances? Why is levity a convincing tool in the fight for bodily autonomy? Can a movie like “Call Jane” affect the fast-approaching midterms? On this episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, Katie talks with the movie's director, Phyllis Nagy, and its star, Elizabeth Banks, about the movie's poignancy, some of its blood-boiling scenes, and why the movie's not just preaching to the choir. “Call Jane” is in select theaters starting Oct. 28. For more information about abortion access in this country, check out Katie's six-part podcast series on the subject, Abortion: The Body Politic. Some of the real life Janes are featured in Part Two. You can stream the documentary “The Janes” on HBO Max now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carol is a 2015 romantic drama period film directed by Todd Haynes. The screenplay by Phyllis Nagy is based on the 1952 romance novel The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith (republished as Carol in 1990). The film stars Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Sarah Paulson, Jake Lacy, and Kyle Chandler. Set in New York City during the early 1950s, Carol tells the story of a forbidden affair between an aspiring female photographer and an older woman going through a difficult divorce.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBL9Kz26Dvs&ab_channel=GirlShipTVhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBL9Kz26Dvs&ab_channel=GirlShipTVhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QljnNIBtaI&ab_channel=FilmIndependentSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/chapteronetaketwo)

Carol is a modern Christmas classic. American director, screenwriter and playwright Phyllis Nagy fought for decades to bring this heart-wrenching tale to the screen. The film is a story of forbidden love between two women: Therese, an aspiring female photographer played by Rooney Mara, and Carol, a glamorous older woman played by Cate Blanchett. Set in 1960s New York, the film’s a raw, romantic drama set against a snowy festive backdrop that accentuates the emotion of Carol and Therese’s longing to be together, in a society that won’t allow it.Phyllis adapted the story from an acclaimed 1952 novel by Phyllis’s friend, the late, great Patricia Highsmith. Bringing The Price of Salt, as the novel was originally titled, to screen involved overcoming several hurdles, not least a film industry that was then reluctant to give a voice to LGBTQ stories. Eventually made for release in 2015 with Todd Haynes in the director’s chair, the movie became an instant cult smash, beloved by LGBTQ audiences and celebrated all over again every December since. Here’s what Phyllis had to say about her 20-year struggle to get Carol made, the subtle screenwriting details that decorate Carol and Therese's relationship, why there'll never be a sequel and more.Script Apart is a podcast about the first-draft secrets behind great movies.

On today's show Lady P welcomes back Carol (2015) screenwriter, Phyllis Nagy, for an in-depth discussion of Phyllis' all-time-favorite film, Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard (1950). Phyllis isn't the only one celebrating her glorious return to Flixwise. This is also the second appearance of one Norma Desmond, or rather Lady P's rather embarrassing imitation of the silent age film star. Norma first appeared on our original Sunset Boulevard episode, which features Professor Joseph McBride offering behind the scenes details of the filming of this Wilder classic. Today we're paying another visit to that old familiar street with Phyllis' personal take on the depiction of 1950s Hollywood. Lady P and Phyllis discuss their reactions to Gloria Swanson's bold representation of an aged actress, and how William Holden serves as an important ballast to Swanson's electric performance. Then Phyllis sets out to debunk some popular interpretations of the film - namely that it's either satirical or Campy. Phyllis tells listeners why she thinks critics often confuse a lack of sentimentality with satire, and offers up evidence for why she thinks Wilder was completely sincere in his depiction of these characters. Plus, Lady P and Phyllis offer up comparisons to other films of this era including All About Eve (1950), Sudden Fear (1952), and What Ever Happened To Baby Jane (1962) and talk about why Sunset Boulevard is truly "the greatest of them all". And if you haven't already please go back and listen to Phyllis' previous episode in which she goes into detail on the making of Carol. Plus she and Lady P offer up a couple of suggestions on Isabelle Huppert movies that all film buffs should seek out. 

On today's show, Lady P is joined by the woman who penned one of the greatest movies of the decade: Carol (2015). The funny and brilliant Phyllis Nagy is here to talk about adapting Carol's screenplay from Patricia Highsmith's original source material and the lengthy, and at times frustrating, process of getting the film into production. They chat about Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara's rendering of the two lead characters, as well as the standout performance from supporting players, Sarah Paulson and Kyle Chandler. Plus, Phyllis offers a scoop on what happened to a few scenes from the book that didn't make the final cut of the film. Longtime listeners are by this point well aware of Lady P's total adoration of things Carol. Listen up to see if she manages to keep her composure throughout the entire interview. In addition to filling us in on details from behind-the-scenes of Carol, Phyllis is also here to discuss a pair of standout performances by the incomparable French actress, Isabelle Huppert. This year Huppert was, at long last, nominated for her first Academy Award. However, Huppert has been giving Oscar-worthy performances well before she ever worked with Verhoeven. If you are unfamiliar with her work up to this point, you might not know where to begin, as her filmography is quite extensive. Fortunately, Phyllis is here to offer up two of her favorite Huppert films as suggestions for your watch list: Claude Chabrol's 1988 film: Story of Women, and Diane Kurys 1983 film: Entre Nous.  Both Story of Women and Entre Nous are period dramas which find Huppert playing malcontented married women, both of whom form deep attachments to their closest female friends. In Story of Women she plays Marie Latour, a woman who, despite her husband's objections, traffics in abortions and other illegal dealings in German occupied France. In Entre Nous, Huppert plays Lena Weber, a woman who falls into an expedient marriage in order to escape Nazi control, but after the war is over falls in the love with another woman. Both of these movies were heralded by critics upon their initial release. However, only Story of Women, is readily available. You can purchase it on DVD and it's also streamable on FilmStruck. However, Entre Nous (you know, the one directed by a woman) is currently unavailable in the US. If you're lucky enough to have a region 2 DVD player, you can purchase it here. Listeners, your mission is now to bug the right people, and get this wonderful film back in circulation.

What makes a script so compelling that it ends up with an Oscar nod? This week, Stu and Chas return to their first ever episode by tackling two Oscar-nominated screenplays. But this time - instead of exploring the rigid structures laid down by gurus - they use it as an opportunity to explore what they've learned in the last three years and apply them to the phenomenal writing in SPOTLIGHT and CAROL (with slight digression towards THE EXPANSE* and GAME OF THRONES). And so this slightly meandering episodes revisits the excellent execution of catharsis, world-building, mid-points, dramatic point of view, status transactions and more. * Which has possibly replaced Star Wars as the de facto reference point for anything.

Gorgeous, moving and subtle – ‘Carol’ is a beautifully crafted tale of forbidden love that has wowed critics and audiences alike. And it’s no wonder – director Todd Haynes (Far from Heaven, I’m Not There) along with the films stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara have delivered Oscar worthy performances. ‘Carol’ follows two women from very different backgrounds that find themselves in an unexpected love affair in 1950s New York. Their undeniable attraction is challenged by the conventional norms of the time but what emerges is an honest story of resilience and fulfillment. Our guest is screenwriter Phyllis Nagy who adapted Patricia Highsmith’s book “The Price of Salt” for the film. Highsmith wrote more than twenty novels before her death in 1995, many of which including “Strangers on a Train” and the Tom Ripley series but it is the love story of Carol and Therese that draws inspiration from her own life. We ask Phyllis about the twenty year struggle of bringing this story to the big screen, her friendship with Highsmith and how the period drama can be seen as a reflection of todays society.

It's a devil of a good time on BEHIND THE LENS this week with writer/director Joe Pepitone and actress Jaime Ray Newman talking the hilarious comedy THE JERSEY DEVIL, and the compelling psychological thriller ALTERED MINDS, respectively! Fans of Jaime Ray Newman already know her from her extensive credits in film and tv, including "Red Widow", "Drop Dead Diva", "Mind Games", and, of course, "General Hospital". Knowing Jaime's work, you'll enjoy hearing about her latest film, ALTERED MINDS from writer/director Michael Wechsler, and working with co-stars Ryan O'Nan and Judd Hirsch. And for all you "General Hospital" fans out there, Jaime answers the burning question: Who's more terrifying? Judd Hirsch as Dr. Nathaniel Shellner in ALTERED MINDS or, Constance Towers as Helena Cassadine in GH? At the half way point of the show, you'll hear one of the most fun and most engaging guests we've ever had - writer/director Joe Pepitone - who regales us with stories about "the making of" THE JERSEY DEVIL. And Joe gets his own "burning" question to answer for you as to the inspiration for the film: Why would the Devil pick New Jersey for the new home of Hell? Plus, I'll talk about some of the Oscar nominations and you'll hear my exclusive Oscar morning phone call with Phyllis Nagy, nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay for "Carol", as well as a snippet of my chat with Lon Bender, Oscar nominee for Best Sound Editing for his work on "The Revenant." http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
