This week on The Treatment, Elvis speaks with comedian and writer Carol Leifer about her new book co-written with Rick Mitchell — How to Write a Funny Speech...for a Wedding, Bar Mitzvah, Graduation & Every Other Event You Didn't Want to Go to in the First Place. Then, directors David Siegel and Scott McGehee stop by to talk about their new film The Friend, which stars Naomi Watts and Bill Murray. And on The Treat, actor and director Tim Matheson talks about a double feature that made him laugh and worry about humanity.
"The Friend" had its world premiere at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its performances from Naomi Watts, Bill Murray, and the Great Dane Bing, and the writing and direction from filmmakers Scott McGehee & David Siegel that made audiences laugh and cry. Based on the 2018 novel by Sigrid Nunez, the film tells the story of a New York City writer who reluctantly inherits a Great Dane named Apollo from her dearly departed friend but soon comes to realize it may be the best thing that's ever happened for her in order to move on from her grief. McGehee & Siegel were both kind enough to speak with me about their work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Bleecker Street. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

This week we're excited to present a conversation from the 62nd New York Film Festival with author Sigrid Nunez. With her novels The Friend (winner of the 2018 National Book Award for Fiction) and What Are You Going Through, New York–based author Sigrid Nunez has supplied the extraordinarily rich source material for not one, but two films in the NYFF62 lineup: Scott McGehee and David Siegel's Spotlight standout The Friend, starring Naomi Watts as a writer mourning the complicated loss of a beloved mentor; and Pedro Almodóvar's Centerpiece selection The Room Next Door, which follows another writer (Julianne Moore) as she reconnects with a friend from her past (Tilda Swinton) who approaches her with an unusual request. We were honored to welcome Nunez for a special conversation about her prismatic literary meditations on grief, friendship, and the passage of time; the experience of seeing her creative work adapted into other mediums; and cinema's alchemical capacity to both translate and transform a novel's meaning. This conversation was moderated by A.O. Scott, critic at large for The New York Times Book Review. A New York Times Critic's Pick, Pedro Almodovar's The Room Next Door is now playing at FLC.

On episode 257 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello talk about some of our favorite (and not so favorite) films we saw at 62nd New York Film Festival and then look at them through the lens of the pending Oscar race. Kicking things off we start with The Brutalist, Brady Corbet's sprawling epic about a Hungarian architect, played by Adrien Brody, who emigrates to the United States post-World War II. Corbet won the Best Director award at the Venice Film Festival. You can read Sophia's review of that film here. Next we go into the Venice Golden Lion winner for Best Film, Pedro Almodóvar's The Room Next Door, starring Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore, the director's first major festival top film win. Ryan's review of the maestro's festival favorite can be found here. The conversation here, about older directors creating films now that stand up against their best early work, moves to what we felt as a far less successful version of that, Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis (read Ryan's review here) but then we're back to the festival high of Luca Guadagnino's Queer, his adaptation of the 1985 William S. Burroughs short novel starring Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey, a drug-induced story of gay love and longing set among the lives of American expats in Mexico City in the late 1940s. You can read my review of Queer here. We also venture into some quick talk of other films we saw and loved at the festival, including Mike Leigh's Hard Truths and David Siegel and Scott McGehee's The Friend, starring the biggest attention getter of the fest, Bing the great Dane. From there we look at how looks at these films have shaped or changed our earlier Oscar predictions, what's out in front, what is falling off and the complete unknown entities coming up that could change race completely. 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 1h16m. We will be back in two weeks to discuss AFI FEST and update our Oscar predictions. Till then, let's get into it.

“Make a sound and I'm going to drown you in the lake.”A Sundance Standout That Earned Cinematography HonorsScott McGehee and David Siegel, the directing duo behind The Deep End, began developing the project in the late 1990s. Inspired by the 1940s novel The Blank Wall by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding and the 1949 film adaptation The Reckless Moment directed by Max Ophüls, they set out to create a modern noir thriller centered around a mother's fierce love and protection for her son. With the help of cinematographer Giles Nuttgens, they crafted a visually stunning and emotionally charged film that caught the attention of the Sundance Film Festival and beyond. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the 2002 Film Independent Spirit Awards Best Cinematography Nominees series with a conversation about The Deep End.A Mother's Love, a Son's Secret, and a Blackmailer's AgendaIn our discussion of The Deep End, we explore the central premise of the film – a mother who discovers a dead body and believes her son is responsible. Tilda Swinton portrays Margaret Hall, a woman who makes a quick decision to cover up the crime. As the plot progresses, a blackmailer enters the picture, complicating matters further. While we both appreciate aspects of the film, we find ourselves divided on the effectiveness of the story and Swinton's performance. The cinematography, however, remains a standout element, earning its Independent Spirit Award nomination.Other Discussion PointsThe supporting performance of Goran Visnjic as the blackmailer Alek Spera and how his character evolves throughout the filmThe film's handling of the son's sexuality and the potential consequences of his father discovering the truthThe use of Lake Tahoe as a setting and its contribution to the overall atmospherePacing issues and plot points that we found problematic or unbelievableThe Deep End is an intriguing and visually captivating thriller that sparked a lively discussion between us. While we may not see eye-to-eye on all aspects of the film, particularly Tilda Swinton's performance and the overall effectiveness of the story, we agree that the cinematography is truly remarkable and worthy of its Independent Spirit Award nomination. The film's exploration of complex themes and moral dilemmas makes it a thought-provoking watch, even if it doesn't quite hit the mark in all areas. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

Director Wash Westmoreland discusses his film, Colette, with fellow director Scott McGehee. Set in the dawn of 20th century, the film tells the story of Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, a talented young writer who moves from her childhood home to Paris after she weds a writer known commonly as "Willy." Convinced by Willy to ghostwrite for him, Colette pens a bestselling semi-autobiographical novel that becomes a cultural sensation and spawns sequels. But her fight to regain creative ownership drives her to overcome societal constraints and challenge gender roles.

We continue our conversation with lauded Cinematographer Giles Nuttgens in the second part of our discussion. Ranging from the technical aspects of Anthropomorphic both historically and currently, his partnership with David Mackenzie and last year's Oscar Nominated success Hell or High Water, to the "challenge of his career" filming Semih Kaplanoğlu's black and white film epic Grain, and some recommendations of great cinematographers to study. Bio Giles Nuttgens recently completed photography on director Wash Westmoreland’s period drama Colette, starring Keira Knightley as a struggling French novelist. Previously, he lensed David Mackenzie’s Hell or High Water, which premiered in Un Certain Regard at 2016’s Cannes Film Festival to critical acclaim. Starring Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine and Ben Foster, Nuttgens earned a 2017 BAFTA Film Award nomination for Best Cinematography for his work. In 2016 Nuttgens also worked on The Fundamentals of Caring, which first screened at Sundance.The film follows Craig Roberts, Paul Rudd and Selena Gomez as a trio who connect on a life changing crosscountry journey. The last film to ever be shot on black-and-white Kodak 35mm film, Nuttgens shot Grain in Istanbul. Ironically, the movie tells the story of a seed geneticist attempting to save the last batch of genetically unmodified wheat. Nuttgens’ other feature credits also include: Young Ones and God Help the Girl, which both premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival; and The D Train (starring Jack Black and James Marsden) and What Maisie Knew (starring Julianne Moore and Alexander Skarsgard) – both shot with his long-time collaborators, the directing team Scott McGehee and David Siegel. With director Deepa Mehta, Nuttgens lensed Midnight’s Children, based on the bestselling Salman Rushdie novel. Nuttgens’ also shot Mehta’s elemental trilogy Fire, Earth and Water. Water received a 2007 Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film and earned Nuttgens the 2006 GENIE Award for Best Cinematography. In 2007, Nuttgens’ “sigh-inducingly evocative” (the Telegraph) cinematography for Mister Foe earned Best Cinematography awards at the Copenhagen Film Festival and British Film Festival in Dinard, as well as a Best Cinematography nomination at the 2008 Evening Standard Awards. Nuttgens first worked with McGehee and Siegel on The Deep End, a film which earned Nuttgens the 2001 Sundance Film Festival Award for Best Cinematography and a nomination in the same category at the 2002 Independent Spirit Awards. BBC trained, Nuttgens was one of the youngest cameramen ever to be appointed to the BBC and worked on a variety of dramas, documentaries and news program. Nuttgens remembers an exceptional experience in his early career spending four months in the Brazilian jungle sleeping on the sandbanks on the side of the Araguaia River. There, he ate dried manioc flour and the red-bellied Amazonian piranha that he fished for every day. Giles is represented by DDA.

This week we were joined by US activists Tamika Mallory and Breanne Butler from the Women's March on Washington. Tamika is in town for her talk at Antidote on September 3. Go Home, Everything Is Terrible: Schoolgirls staged a walkout on Clementine Ford after she refused to take questions from male students at exclusive Aquinas College in Melbourne. Scott McGehee and David Siegel will write and direct an all-female adaption of "Lord Of The Flies," based on the iconic 1954 William Golding novel about a group of boys stranded on a deserted island. Video clips out this week: Taylor Swift's video for Look What You Made Me Do raises questions about what Trump-era pop culture looks like and Swift's political silence. Katy Perry has released what looks like a bad Space Jam remake for Swish Bish, believed to be a response to Taylor Swift’s 2014 kiss-off anthem “Bad Blood." Lizzo’s amazing new clip for Water Me was directed by Quinn Wilson and Asha Efia. The stunning optics speaks to the importance of self-care and support, and its also just such a banger of a track.

An Arkansas native coming from a family of incredibly rich and interesting food-related history, Scott McGehee trained at the California Culinary Academy and cut his teeth at Chez Panisse working under Alice Waters for many years. Today Scott is a rabid advocate of treating people and contemporaries in the industry with absolute kindness, dignity, and respect. He exercises this advocacy as Executive Chef/Partner at Yellow Rocket Concepts, a Little Rock restaurant partnership, which is known as Central Arkansas's culinary juggernaut. In this episode we discuss: Never giving up. If you want something you need to chase it. You need to be consistently positive. learn to communicate effectively. Utilize the path of least resistance to get things done. Lift struggling coworkers up, don't put them down for their mistakes. Paying your dues in the kitchen to learn and become better. Cooking is about more than food. Food is about human relationships, not just sustenance and taste. Be calm and kind. Baby steps are key to expansion. If you're not improving and growing every day, you're dying.If you don't know something just ask. You should be continually reinventing your restaurant.
Giles Nuttgens is a British cinematographer who began his career with the BBC TV for the Natural History documentary unit in 1984, and rose up through the camera assistant ranks, and by the age of 25 he was one of the youngest film cameramen ever in the BBC. After many years living in Paris, he relocated to Barcelona in late 2003. Although best known for independent films, he also has worked on major commercial productions such as the recent Star Wars prequels, and Swimfan. He has also collaborated on more than one occasion with Scott McGehee and David Siegel on The Deep End and Bee Season, and David Mackenzie on Young Adam, Asylum and most recently Hell Or High Water. He won the 2001 Sundance Film Festival's Cinematography Award for The Deep End. It was an honor to speak with Giles about his work on one of the Best films of the year Hell or High Water. The film is currently playing nationwide and I'd highly recommend it to anyone with a passing interest in film. The film centers on a divorced father who's trying to make a better life for his son.
In the 50th episode of the Little Rock Foodcast, Scott McGehee talks about his family's influence on his cooking, his training in California, the creation of Boulevard Bread Company, and starting a Little Rock restaurant dynasty. Also, the latest updates on the upcoming Lost 40 Brewery and Heights Taco & Tamale Company.
