***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.

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.

Bob Cratchit. Ron Weasley. Daniel Blake. Working class characters are often painted as humble folk, morally pure and deserving of our sympathy. But what if they're...not?Join us as we discuss truly progressive portrayals of the working class in film. Instead of patronising, what if films instead gave people agency over their own lives? Instead of portraying poverty as a purifying force, what if films were honest about the negative consequences of oppression on the subject? What if – and bear with me here – but what if working class people were sometimes bad? We start our first episode of 2024 with a quick discussion on the Golden Globes and Academy Awards, before jumping into a chat about a number of films, some which we think do the working class a disservice, and others that we feel are much more honest and human in their portrayals. Up for discussion are:The films of Ken Loach and Shane Meadows, including I, Daniel Blake (2016), Sorry We Missed You (2019) and This Is England (2006);Meantime (1983);Saltburn (2023);The films of Bong Joon-ho, including Snowpiercer (2013) and Parasite (2019);Fallen Leaves (2023);Red Rocket (2021);Harry Potter;Pride (2014);The Royle Family (TV sitcom);The Full Monty (1997);Brechtian theatre;The films of Jean-Luv Godard;Together (2000).Support the show
In de Texaanse woestijn van de jaren vijftig ligt een stadje, wat één keer per jaar opleeft met de komst van een grote sterrenkijkersconventie. Het is typisch zo'n sluimerend plaatsje waar atoombommen worden getest en waar ufo's landen. En hier stranden Augie Steenbeck en zijn kinderen, als ze met de auto op weg zijn naar de vader van zijn overleden vrouw. Dit is Asteroid City. Althans, dat is het op een podium. Want Asteroid City is niet echt, het is de setting van een toneelstuk. Voor filmdocent Rudi de Boer is dit – na The French Dispatch – de film waar regisseur Wes Anderon hem misschien voorlopig wel echt verloren heeft. De bonte cast aan filmsterren en de prachtige visuele stijl kunnen hem deze keer echt niet meer bekoren. Want alle lagen die Anderson over elkaar heen legt, maken de inhoud van de film deze keer te ondoordringbaar. De Boer is een regelrechte veelkijker, en geeft in het hele land lezingen over films. Eventueel zelfs in sluimerende woestijnstadjes. En ook wordt hij geregeld te geïnterviewd op tv om zijn licht te schijnen op nieuwe ontwikkelingen in de filmwereld, als die weer de aandacht trekken van de redacties van o.a. RTL Nieuws et cetera. Met host Ruud heeft hij het ook over hoe grote filmmakers altijd dezelfde film opnieuw maken, dat het nu Jason Schwartzman is die de gemankeerde vader speelt, en naturlijk over de AI-trailers van fictieve Wes Anderson-films.

The Old Oak | Sozialdrama mit Schaumkrone Ganze 57 Regiearbeiten kann Ken Loach in seiner Filmografie vorweisen, die bis in die Mitte der 60er Jahre zurückreicht und gespickt ist mit preisgekrönten Dramen wie "Angels' Share", "Ich, Daniel Blake" oder zuletzt "Sorry We Missed You". Da überrascht es wenig, dass der britische Altmeister mit nunmehr stolzen 87 Jahren seinen letzten Film vorlegt und dabei einmal mehr das Thema anspricht, dass sich quer durch sein komplettes Werk zieht: soziale Ungerechtigkeit. So erzählt er in "The Old Oak" vom vereinsamten Pub-Besitzer TJ aus Durham in Nordosten Englands, wo 2016 Geflüchtete aus Syrien in der Nachbarschaft unterkommen. Während der Großteil der Einheimischen diese eher skeptisch beäugen, freundet sich TJ mit ihnen zunächst an und modelt seine baufällige Bar schließlich sogar zur Armenküche für Bedürftige um. Das erregt ebenso schnell Aufsehen wie Missmut bei seinen einstigen Stammkunden. Stu und Dom konnten sich "The Old Oak" bereits vor Kinostart am 23. November ansehen und verraten euch, ob der Meister des Sozialdramas mit seinem Abschlusswerk nochmal ein letztes Ausrufezeichen setzen kann oder ob dieses doch eher einem abgestandenen Bier gleicht, das zu lange auf dem Tresen gestanden hat. Was von beidem zutreffender ist, findet ihr heraus, in dem ihr auf Play drückt. Shakran und Prost! Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge vom Tele-Stammtisch!

PENDENTE: Rubrica su Cinema, letteratura, fumetto ed esperienze culturali
CINEMA! E ANCORA CINEMA! Nuovo appuntamento con la mia rubrica "improvvisata" in cui esprimo opinioni su film visti da pochi minuti al Cinema per ricordarvi che il CINEMA è AL CINEMA! Anni dopo il suo disperato "Sorry We Missed You", Ken Loach torna al cinema con il suo nuovo capitolo di uno spaccato di vita a lui tanto caro. A differenza però degli ultimi suoi film, "The Old Oak" ci mostra un Loach deciso a raccontare una storia sofferente e universale in cui noi possiamo trovare una parte di noi stessi e soprattutto ricordare quali sono i valori della vita degni di essere chiamati tali. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/madmike3/message
The writer James Slaymaker, author of Time is Luck: The Cinema of Michael Mann, returns to the pod from Southampton for a discussion of selected works from the veteran British filmmaker Ken Loach, who at age 87 is about to release what is said to be his final feature, The Old Oak. Ken Loach's 1969 feature Kes is a staple of the British school curriculum to this day and his 2016 film I, Daniel Blake won the Palme d'or at Cannes and was a big hit in the UK. We discuss the role Loach recently played in British politics, first allied with the Labour Party under the left-wing leadership of Jeremy Cornyn and then ousted from Labour in the ideological purge of the Keir Starmer era. We discuss three of his features on this episode: the controversial 1990 political thriller Hidden Agenda with Brian Cox and Frances McDormand, 2019's gig economy drama Sorry We Missed You, and a lesser-seen Loach film from 2001, The Navigators. These works offer a critique from the left of several decades of austerity policies in the UK, the horrors of privatization and the overall exploitation of workers by management.

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. We also compare Eo to other recent films about (or featuring) animals — including White God, Lean on Pete, Cow, and Gunda — to help us understand how empathy is usually extended toward on-screen animals. Finally, we discuss how some of the best politically conscious films being made today, with youthful exuberance, are coming from directors over 70. 01:51 Why are we talking about Eo? 09:18 Placing Eo within the canon of donkey stories 13:53 Exceptional donkeys (this section is the only one available free)32:00 Anthropomorphising animals 46:56 An older generation of political filmmakers Show Notes Become a member for access to all of our upcoming episodes Listen to our previous podcast season on Women at Cannes Read Alex Heeney's review of Eo Get your copy of our ebook on Lean on Pete, a film about an unexceptional horse Read Alex Heeney's White God interview with the film's director and animal trainer Get your copy of our ebook Road to nowhere: Kelly Reichardt's broken American dreams.

For the second episode of our series discussing the labor movement in films, we're going across the pond to cover two movies from the UK. First up, we discuss Ken Loach's Sorry We Missed You, a devastating realist look at the state of the working class in Britain. The film follows the struggle of a working class family trying to provide for their kids in a job market where no matter how hard you work, a living wage and a comfortable life feel further and further out of reach. Sorry We Missed You provides no illusions about class mobility or hard work winning out in the end, it forces us to confront the reality that so many jobs in the modern economy are premised on poverty wages and hours so long that you never see your family. For our second film, we discuss 2014's Pride, which tells the true story of a group of LGBTQ activists in London who band together to support striking coal miners in Wales. The film focuses on the power of solidarity, and shows how by combining all the struggles against all the forms of oppression faced by the working class, we can be much stronger than when we're divided.

The Work Sucks Summer continues with a marathon episode about Ken Loach's Sorry We Missed You. The movie is sad enough, so we figured we might as well just get everything off our chests this week.

Heute zu Gast Moderator und Politik-Journalist Louis Klamroth! Seine drei Lieblingsfilme sind „Sorry We Missed You“, „Victoria“ und „Der Geschmack von Rost und Knochen“. Was alle Filme gemeinsam haben, stellt er allerdings erst während des Gesprächs mit Steven fest. Beide schwärmen nebenbei noch von Marion Cotillard und Frederick Lau. Serienfan ist Louis auch, besonders empfehlen kann er „Borgen“. Seit er beruflich auch in der Politik hinter die Kulissen schaut, kann er bestätigen wie wahrheitsgetreu diese Serie ist. Louis gehört zu 100% zum Team Kino, er hat es sogar schon gebracht von Berlin nach Hamburg zu fahren, um einen Film in seinem Lieblingskino zu schauen. Wie es ist, als Kind neben dem weinenden Bundeskanzler zu sitzen und warum die Mitgliedschaft in einem Debattierklub für seine berufliche Karriere hilfreich ist und er das Kino bei „Harry Potter“ und „Der Herr der Ringe“ verlassen hat, hört ihr in dieser Folge. Ein Gespräch über den perfekten Samstag, das Diskutieren mit Christian Lindner und Dreharbeiten mit dem eigenen Vater.
Zum zweiten Mal nach der letztjährigen Jahresabschlussfolge sind alle Filme dieser Episode auf dem Mist der Supporter bei Steady und Patreon gewachsen, die uns jeden Monat Beiträge für die Banausen-Lostrommel zurufen die wir dann monatlich leeren. Ob dann auch Mist beim Schauen der Filme über die Bildschirme flackert, steht auf einem anderen Blatt, um diese Antwort zu kriegen, müsst ihr euch diesen Podcast anhören...

How do you navigate a world in which nothing seems secure? Mike and Dan discuss Ken Loach's Sorry We Missed You (2020), his portrait of a family dealing with the stresses of the gig economy. For a film that seems under-directed, this descent into a middle-class Dante's Inferno works so well because of Loach's skill and the actors' performances. The guys talk about how the film is about fear more than greed, the social reality of bodily functions, and the ways in which the characters try to hold onto their dignity--and each other.

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.

THE CONVO: Grammy Award winner Billie Eilish is planning on giving a special performance at the 2020 Oscars. Also, 2011 Steven Soderbergh movie Contagion is suddenly up in the iTunes charts presumably because of the Coronavirus. THE FLICKS: Rosie - This is a film that should be grouped together with the last couple of Ken Loach movies I, Daniel Blake and Sorry We Missed You as they are all damning stories of lower-class struggle in the United Kingdom, glaring truth that is just going to get worse. Coming from acclaimed filmmaker Paddy Breathnach, this is the story of Rosie Davis, a mother of four who is desperately looking for a place to sleep and live temporarily after their landlord evicts after selling the house from under them. While her husband works shift after shift for an uncaring employer, Rosie is the only person fighting to keep their family from becoming destitute and homeless in a film that always feels incredibly real and palpable. When the final credits hit I need to give myself a minute to collect my emotions that had been shattered over the hour and a half of this tragic story. These are the films that are most important right now. Parasite - This film was an amazing way to start out my coverage of this year's Vancouver International Film Festival, some great Korean cinema from one of the masters, Bong Joon-Ho. In his return to all Korean film, he tells the story of a family of con artists who grift their way into a rich family's lives as a chauffeur, housekeeper, tutor and personal assistant respectively. They think they've hit the big time until the former housekeeper shows them a deep secret that she's been hiding in their employer's house that blows everyone's situation up. Joon-Ho crafts another incredible masterpiece of a movie that's filled with twists, incredible cinematography and the amazing ability to tell stories within a story. He never relents in showing that he is not only one of the greatest Korean storytellers today but one of the best in cinema today. This is your chance to check out the movie before it wins a Best Picture Oscar, the first foreign film to do so. Steve Stebbing is Movie connoisseur and critic.

This week, we take delivery of Ken Loach's latest, Sorry We Missed You and talk to the director himself. Plus, 37 years later, we return to the Overlook Hotel for The Shining sequel Doctor SleepDirector Ken Loach teams once again with I, Daniel Blake screenwriter Paul Laverty for another indictment of the capitalist forces shaping modern Britain. Ricky is dreaming of better things for his family when he becomes a delivery van driver. But as an ‘independent contractor', he's working in unsparing conditions, just like his wife Abbie, a care nurse, both of them on zero hours contracts. Living like this means that they're pushed to the brink, and their world falls apart when their teenage son starts to go off the rails.Whatever happened to Danny Torrance, the gifted young boy from The Shining? It's a question that must have vexed Stephen King enough to produce a sequel 37 years later. In Doctor Sleep, a grown-up Danny (Ewan McGregor) finds himself in the role of protector to a young girl on the run from a cult that is hell-bent on harvesting her gift.Discussing the films this week are Jake Cunningham, Sam Howlett, Kelly Powell and Ella KempFollow the team on Social Media:@jakehcunningham - Jake@samhowlett_1 - Sam@ks_powell - Kelly@ella_kemp - EllaProduced by Jake CunninghamEdited by Mark Towers Hosted on Acast.
