Nesta edição do podcast cinematório café, nós analisamos os três filmes que faltavam na nossa cobertura do Oscar 2025: "O Reformatório Nickel", de RaMell Ross, "O Brutalista", de Brady Corbet, e "Um Completo Desconhecido", de James Mangold. - Visite a página do podcast no site e confira material extra sobre o tema do episódio - Junte-se ao Cineclube Cinematório e tenha acesso a conteúdo exclusivo de cinema "O Reformatório Nickel" (Nickel Boys) é baseado no livro de Colson Whitehead, vencedor do Pulitzer, e narra a poderosa história de amizade entre dois jovens negros que passam juntos pelas angustiantes provações de um reformatório juvenil na Flórida, nos anos 1960. Indicado ao Oscar de Melhor Filme e de Melhor Roteiro Adaptado, o longa-metragem chama a atenção por sua história impactante e pela direção habilidosa, com planos feitos em ponto de vista de primeira pessoa. "O Brutalista" se tornou o segundo filme com mais prêmios no Oscar 2025, perdendo apenas para "Anora". Venceu as estatuetas de Melhor Ator, para Adrien Brody, Melhor Fotografia (assinada por Lol Crawley) e Melhor Trilha Sonora Original (para o compositor Daniel Blumberg). Filmado em 70mm, com VistaVision, o longa acompanha a jornada do arquiteto húngaro László Toth, que sai da Europa no pós-guerra para reconstruir sua vida nos Estados Unidos, onde encontra uma série de dificuldades pessoais e profissionais. O elenco também conta com Guy Pearce e Felicity Jones, ambos indicados ao Oscar como coadjuvantes. Encerramos com "Um Completo Desconhecido", cinebiografia do músico Bob Dylan, com recorte nos primeiros anos de sua carreira. Timothée Chalamet interpreta Dylan na influente cena musical de Nova York do início dos anos 1960, quando iniciou o relacionamento com Sylvie Russo (Elle Fanning) e conviveu com artistas como Pete Seeger (Edward Norton), Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro), Woody Guthrie (Scoot McNairy) e Johnny Cash (Boyd Holbrook). O filme concorreu a oito estatuetas no Oscar 2025: Melhor Filme, Direção, Roteiro Adaptado, Ator (Chalamet), Ator Coadjuvante (Norton), Atriz Coadjuvante (Barbaro), Som e Figurino. Sentam-se à mesa conosco neste podcast para discutir "Emilia Pérez" e "Wicked": - Ana Lúcia Andrade, professora de Cinema da Escola de Belas Artes da UFMG, autora dos livros "O Filme Dentro do Filme: a Metalinguagem no Cinema" e "Entretenimento Inteligente: O Cinema de Billy Wilder"; - Larissa Vasconcelos, jornalista, crítica e redatora do cinematório. O cinematório café é produzido e apresentado por Renato Silveira e Kel Gomes.

Nickel Boys may have been overshadowed at the Oscars, but it was already a critical favourite before it finally dropped on Amazon Prime this week. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Colson Whitehead (The Underground Railroad), it's directed by RaMell Ross and stars Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (King Richard).Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details
Dos niños afroamericanos son internados en un abusivo reformatorio en la Florida de los años 60. Dirigida por Ramell Ross y basada en la novela homónima de Colson Whitehead, “Nickel Boys” es una de las cintas nominadas a mejor película en los Oscars 2025. Una producción que en Chile pasó directo al streaming (disponible en Prime Video) y que destaca por una narrativa visual en primera persona.
Just when we thought we had our final rankings pretty much in the bag, Nickel Boys comes and changes everything. RaMell Ross's living piece of art took us all by surprise and moved us in ways we never expected. The performances were extraordinary, but the heart of the piece was in the direction and camera work. We'll be angrily shaking our fists for years to come that this didn't receive more nominations. Another year in the books, tell us your final rankings! Let us know on Twitter, Instagram or Threads!

Feature: ‘Nickel Boys’ writer-director RaMell Ross discusses creative ways of adapting Colson Whitehead’s novel Since the book was released in 2019, Colson Whitehead's historical fiction novel The Nickel Boys has reached great critical acclaim, having most notably won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. So to adapt the book into a feature-length film seems like it’d offer a lot of pressure, but it’s one the RaMell Ross seemed willing to take on following his Oscar-nominated documentary Hale County This Morning, This Evening. This year, Ross now finds his Nickel Boys adaptation nominated for multiple Oscars, including Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture. Similar to the book, the film follows the lives of two boys at the now-defunct Nickel Academy, a reform school in Florida that had a track record of abusing the African American children who attended. Ross also takes a unique approach, leaning heavily into his protagonist’s perspective, with most of the film switching between Elwood and Turner’s first-person point of view. Joining us to discuss the work put into Nickel Boys is the film’s co-writer and director, RaMell Ross. Nickel Boys is out in select theaters and is now on VOD/digital.
RaMell Ross's Oscar-nominated film, Nickel Boys, centers on two young Black men attempting to survive a brutal Florida reformatory school in the 1960s. He says he's sees the rural South as a "meaning-making space." Ross spoke with Tonya Mosley about his photography and performance art, too.

Ep. 297: RaMell Ross on Nickel Boys Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. One of the great films of 2024 and now nominated for Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay, Nickel Boys is the fiction feature debut of RaMell Ross, who adapted Colson Whitehead's novel with Joslyn Barnes, after previously directing the Oscar-nominated Hale County This Morning, This Evening. I was lucky enough to speak with Ross about making the movie, especially crafting the form, screenwriting, representations of race, what he brought from documentary filmmaking, casting, and some of his influences. Ross and his DP Jomo Fray use an innovative mix of extended first-person camerawork to tell the stories of two boys, Elwood (Ethan Herisse) and Turner (Brandon Wilson), in a Jim Crow-era reform school in Florida that's essentially a prison, including additional impressionistic glimpses of the world through archival video and film. (Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor co-stars as Elwood's grandmother, Hattie.) (Note: this interview was recorded earlier.)

This week we review RaMell Ross's Nickel Boys, an adaptation of Colson Whitehead's novel of the same name. The story of two Black boys who form an unshakeable bond at a segregated reform school in the Jim Crow South, Nickel Boys transcends its first person conceit, its Oscar-bait trappings, and the swerve of its twist ending to deliver a major work of American cinema. Keep an eye on this one.
When the filmmaker and photographer RaMell Ross first read “The Nickel Boys,” Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about two Black boys in a dangerous reform school in the 1960s, he couldn't help but put himself in the shoes of its protagonists, Elwood and Turner.In his film adaptation of the book, Ross does that to the audience: You see what the characters see, because it's filmed from the main character's point of view. “I wondered,” Ross said, “how do you explicitly film from the perspective of a Black person?”It was an experiment that has paid off in critical acclaim. “Nickel Boys” has been nominated for two Academy Awards: best adapted screenplay and best picture.In the first episode of our special series devoted to Oscar-nominated films adapted from books, host Gilbert Cruz talks with Ross about why he made the film this particular way.

Larry weighs in on the L.A. Fires. He's then joined by writer and Academy Award-winning filmmaker RaMell Ross to discuss his newest movie ‘Nickel Boys' (8:33). They begin their conversation by talking about how the project came together, RaMell's experimental inspirations, and the screenwriting process with co-writer Joslyn Barnes. Next they dive into RaMell's personal connection with the Colson Whitehead novel that provides the movie's base and break down the ‘epic banal' philosophy behind the images in his storytelling (24:10). After the break, Larry and RaMell shine a light on the exquisite casting for ‘Nickel Boys' and discuss what Ross took away personally from making the film (36:14). RaMell ends the pod by discussing why he loves teaching so much and his thoughts on the state of the movie industry (55:43).

The critically acclaimed new film “Nickel Boys,” based on Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name, is largely shot from the point of view of its two main characters as they try to survive in an abusive reform school called the Nickel Academy. Director RaMell Ross sits down with Tom Power to talk about his decision to tell the story through the eyes of his two leads, how trauma is built across time and distilled across memory, and how basketball has influenced his filmmaking.
The first person is a narrative style as old as storytelling itself—one that, at its best, allows us to experience the world through another person's eyes. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz trace how the technique has been used across mediums throughout history. They discuss the ways in which fiction writers have played with the unstable triangulation between author, reader, and narrator, as in Vladimir Nabokov's “Lolita” and Bret Easton Ellis's “American Psycho,” a book that adopts the perspective of a serial killer, and whose publication provoked public outcry. RaMell Ross's “Nickel Boys”—an adaptation of Colson Whitehead's 2019 novel—is a bold new attempt to deploy the first person onscreen. The film points to a larger question about the bounds of narrative, and of selfhood: Can we ever truly occupy someone else's point of view? “The answer, in large part, is no,” Cunningham says. “But that impossibility is, for me, the actual promise: not the promise of a final mind meld but a confrontation, a negotiation with the fact that our perspectives really are our own.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Nickel Boys” (2024)“The Nickel Boys,” by Colson Whitehead“Lolita,” by Vladimir Nabokov“Meet the Director Who Reinvented the Act of Seeing,” by Salamishah Tillet (The New York Times)“Great Books Don't Make Great Films, but ‘Nickel Boys' Is a Glorious Exception,” by Richard Brody (The New Yorker)“Lady in the Lake” (1947)“Dark Passage” (1947)“Enter the Void” (2010)“The Blair Witch Project” (1999)Doom (1993)“The Berlin Stories,” by Christopher Isherwood“American Psycho,” by Bret Easton Ellis“The Adventures of Augie March,” by Saul Bellow“Why Did I Stop Loving My Cat When I Had a Baby?” by Anonymous (The Cut)“Harmony and Dissonance: Orphism in Paris, 1910-1930” at the Guggenheim MuseumNew episodes drop every Thursday.
