Introducing the Tuitions Podcast
00:01:10
Speaker
Welcome to the tuitions podcast, where myself, Sue Fire, along with my friend and wise colleague, Scrumpey discuss film and other media through a decades long lens of mass media consumption. In this episode, we conclude our review of 2022 with our selections for the gold tier of our top movies of the past year. This is the tuitions podcast. So hide the shears, let the donkey in, pour yourself a whiskey and relax as we begin episode 17.
Top Films of 2022
00:01:40
Speaker
So this week, we're looking at the films of 2022, which we've each given the Gold Award. The gold! It's gold! Gold!
00:01:53
Speaker
And the only rule is that there are no rules are better than what we've mentioned in the past previous two weeks. And just a reminder that these selections are entirely subjective and it's very, very unlikely that these are gonna align with whatever you good viewer listener consider to be the top films of the year. So get your own podcast.
00:02:18
Speaker
Yeah, get your own podcast. And hopefully by this point, you get a feel for how the Venn diagram works between Scrumpy and me. Yes. It's close. All right. Yeah.
00:02:30
Speaker
quickly do some of the movie news, David Lynch's birthday today.
David Lynch Birthday & Film News
00:02:35
Speaker
Just thought I'd mention that as a quick one. It's going to start with some pretty bad movie news that there's a new Tron movie coming out that is going to be fronted by Jared Leto. Yeah, box office success guaranteed.
00:02:53
Speaker
Don't invest in that. Buy some Bitcoin or something. It's probably more reliable. And Zack Snyder's got a new movie coming out that's written and directed by him called Rebel Moon, which meant to be a sidebar. It was originally what he wanted to do as a Star Wars movie.
00:03:13
Speaker
Really? Okay. I hadn't really heard much about it. Um, but yeah. So all those terrible, you know, those, those, those, that, uh, hugely vocal minority of idiots are going to be like, yeah, this is why he should be brought in Star Wars and DC and everything. I just want to punch every one of them in the face for a year. Oh God, it's going to be so fucking, I can't even, I can't even, anyway,
00:03:42
Speaker
It's coming out. Yes, good for him. We know what's happening. I saw written and directed by and that that was enough. At least he's not, you know, hasn't been accused of molesting anybody. So he's got that in his corner. Or shooting anyone like Alec Baldwin. Or murdering anyone like your old nemesis, Alec Baldwin.
Surprising Reviews: Animation & More
00:03:59
Speaker
Yes.
00:04:01
Speaker
And the only other bit of news, and this is a positive one and surprising bit, is that there is a lot of positive talk from respected circles about Puss in Boots 2, which apparently is on a par with Across the Spider-Verse, and I didn't realize it was being done in that style as well. Oh, really? And what I've heard about it
00:04:30
Speaker
is Puss in Boots is coming to his ninth life as a cat and he is having to face his death and death is represented by the big bad wolf. But apparently it's done in earnest horror in this movie and that the emotions and feelings and story are actually quite deep. And people are mentioning things like Paddington 2, which is another one of these movies that,
00:04:58
Speaker
you know, ended up being a lot better than it ever had any right to be. But yeah, that might be one to check out, especially after watching Avatar this week.
00:05:09
Speaker
Yeah, the bar is set nice and low. And
Thrills & Chills: Recent Film Experiences
00:05:14
Speaker
just very quickly, I've seen a few movies this week that I just wanted to highlight. I saw an Iranian movie called Holy Spider that's just been released. It's about this woman. It's actually based on a true story set around 2002 to 2003.
00:05:32
Speaker
Um, she's a journalist coming from Tehran to this holy city, uh, where it is especially conservative when she first arrives at the hotel or like, you know, you're an unmarried woman. Uh, actually, you know, you're booking, uh, we've overbooked and we don't have a room. And then she mentions that she's a journalist and she has to argue to get,
00:05:50
Speaker
get in there, but anyhow, there's a serial killer that's going around killing women in the city, specifically prostitutes, and it is done so well. Really, really good. Really, really good. The perspectives that it goes through in this.
00:06:07
Speaker
the way the journalist is trying to track, you know, this guy down, how the police are just completely useless, and then all the misogyny that's in the society as well that sort of made the serial killer, and is also making it difficult for the journalist to find him. And it's really good. It's just really pacey, very tense. Yeah, nice one. And I saw Ennis Men last week, which is a real,
00:06:35
Speaker
kind of abstract movie. I think it is probably an acquired taste, but it's one of those ones where you have to concentrate and you get immersed in it. But then I also saw a horror movie this week called Skinamarink, which is similar, and that's been getting quite a bit of buzz. And I believe that's going to be on Shutter in a month or so.
00:06:58
Speaker
And that was really well done. You need to stick with it. You definitely need to stick with it. I've seen people comparing it to paranormal activity. It is not that subtle as paranormal activity where you're like, oh my gosh, a curtain moved.
00:07:15
Speaker
uh you know oh this happened it it is more it's it's quite david lynch inspired i i i think in terms of the visuals but the story the story is pretty pacey like it drops clues it drops something new to uh kind of explain what's going on as you go so if you get a chance to see that it's it's worth it it's pretty short as well
00:07:37
Speaker
Nice. Excellent. Cool.
Upcoming Trailers & Anticipations
00:07:39
Speaker
Shall we do trailers next week? I've got to, well, I'm going to mention one, which is Neil Jordan's Marlow, which I didn't even realize was coming out with Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, Jessica Lange, Alan Cumming, Cole Meaney. And it's a screenplay from William Monaghan, who did The Departed. And it's based on the Raymond Chandler character, of course. But the book was written by a book that is based on is called The Black Eyed Blonde.
00:08:06
Speaker
And it was from the Booker prize winning Irish author, John Banville writing under a pen name. And the story is meant to be really good. So quite excited about that because Neil Jordan tends to be a pretty solid, solid bet. Gotcha. And I would call out the
00:08:23
Speaker
trailer for the next Scream movie dropped. Yes. At least the teaser was one. And again, the quality of the previous one has me interested. And Jennifer Taig up being a lead. Yup. There's there as well. And then TV wise season three Mandalorian trailer.
00:08:42
Speaker
I was disappointed in that trailer and nothing offended me in it, but right. It didn't really. It didn't tell me the way I thought it was. Yep. Yep. Same. The exact same. Yeah. And I also saw the teaser for Invincible season two, which is coming out at the end of this year. And that looked pretty good, too. All right. Cool. And I think now.
Gold-Tier Film Criteria
00:09:07
Speaker
We're moving on to the gold selection. There it is. Some good John Williams there. Excellent. That's a good point. Yes. Written by John Williams as well. So we have that for America. Yeah. Fuck yeah.
00:09:27
Speaker
I was looking at my the films that I have in this list, and I have to say that they're almost entirely all films that reward patience. And I think when I walked out of all these movies, there was a certain hard to define sort of feeling that I that I got out of them as well. Oh, OK. Well, let's look at let's look at that. What's your first step? Actually, how many do you have? Just so maybe I have basically six.
00:09:55
Speaker
You have six. I keep it tight. James Cameron, look at me for editing. Next job, man. I'll tell you no. I'll show you how to tighten something up. I watch too much. Well, that's true, though. You know, to be honest, that is true. You watch a boatload more, I get a lot of recommendations from you. Like, oh, I need to go see that. Then I'm adding it to this ever growing queue that's now it's just this monstrous Hydra, you know.
00:10:24
Speaker
So I think if I go over maybe a couple at a time and then pass it on to you, then it'll end up being a little bit balanced so we don't end with me yakking over the entire time. So the first one that, yeah, that is true.
00:10:42
Speaker
is a movie called Il buco. And I've only seen this in the last couple of weeks. It translates to the whole. And it's from a director called Michelangelo Fermartino. And it is very much kind of meditative piece.
00:11:01
Speaker
And it's about this expedition to southern Italy with this group of cavers who come in, who want to go into this kind of unexplored cave. It's got potential to be one of the deepest caves ever. And then it's kind of paralleled with this quite elderly shepherd in the mountain, but it is probably
00:11:23
Speaker
cinematography-wise, one of the most beautiful movies I'd ever seen. In fact, I was thinking about it while I was watching Avatar last night and just shaking my head thinking, hmm, you don't need all this CG to be that impressive. But it's, yeah, really, that's a really good one that is quite subtle and it's quite brief, it's quite concise and definitely worth it. I came out of that just thinking,
00:11:51
Speaker
just feeling refreshed and had me thinking about a lot of stuff, so. Oh, nice. Okay. And the next one that I have on my list, which I am guessing is probably something that we have in common, is Ty West Pearl.
Horror Highlights: Pearl, X, & More
00:12:09
Speaker
Yes. And actually, for mine, I have both X and Pearl, because I like the Godfather one and two, I kind of, they're so
00:12:19
Speaker
linked, I mean, so cleverly and well linked in terms of story and telling, and world building and execution, that I'm viewing them kind of I have them together as one recommendation.
00:12:35
Speaker
Right on mine. So, so Pearl for you. Yes. I mean, it's almost a shame to I know where you're coming from, because those two things are, you know, they they're part of the same genetics and bloodline, but they are so distinct from each other as well. And without being dissident.
00:12:55
Speaker
Exactly, exactly. And it still makes perfect sense. It doesn't break that connection between them. And I'll say that the biggest thing apart from T. West handling it and writing it with the main actress, Mia Goth, who anchors both like the first one. Oh, yeah, she's just, you know, final girl, but a good final girl. Second one in Pearl. Oh, my God. Yeah, I was. Why is she not getting all the awards? Exactly. For best actress to like
00:13:26
Speaker
She worked on the screenplay as well. Yeah, she did. And I think she was producer on it too. And she's working on the screenplay or Maxine. Yeah, the third one in the trilogy. And she said it's like the best one yet. Yes. And it's got the biggest stakes, which has me quite excited. Anticipation, yes. Oh, I'm sorry.
00:13:46
Speaker
I think, yeah, if you're talking about both of them as well as the, the, the way that it connects to its era as well. Um, so, you know, both of them, man. Oh my God. Just, just spot on. Uh, while, while not being like overly so, you know, it takes the aesthetics of that era, but it's still very modern, not in the dialogue.
00:14:11
Speaker
but very modern in terms of how the story develops. And I like that he was thing is just keeping speaking of keeping those sensibilities in check. He's like, no, I'm making a horror movie. This is a horror movie. Like there's no like, oh, you know, this whole thing about what do they call them? The the new phase of horror, the self-aware or, you know, yeah, that kind of meta type that or, you know, with a message
00:14:41
Speaker
Uh, tied to it or something like that, you know, I mean, that's there, but it's also, you know, and he is, you know, these, he's one of the best of the new horror group. Uh, I would argue as well. Um, overall, uh, but, uh, uh, uh, but this is just very straightforward. You know, it's very.
00:15:01
Speaker
you know, you know what you're getting, you know, we were talking earlier about, you know, films that telegraph what they're doing. I mean, this does, but it doesn't. Like, there's stuff that takes you by surprise. There's stuff that... Oh, totally. ...pushes into that. Like, he leans into it hard, but he's like, you know, it's like just learning the basic forms and then it's like, you know, showing, you know, this is how you do it. You know, it's very much like Mike Flanagan, I would argue, does the same sort of thing really well. Just leaning into that.
00:15:27
Speaker
that structure that like, nope, here's our rules. We're not gonna push the rules, we're gonna change the rules, but we are gonna mess with everything else. And we're gonna make something of such quality that you're gonna have to sit back and reassess what you think this genre is.
00:15:43
Speaker
And what's surprising is that's hard to do for a prequel. If you're watching a prequel and you're midway through and you're thinking, I don't know how this is going to end, you kind of know some of it, obviously, because it's a prequel. But yeah, it was very surprising. And I've got a little bit of trivia here on it. The actress who plays Pearl's mother, Tandy Wright,
00:16:12
Speaker
was not specifically, well, she was an actress, but she didn't join because of that. She was the intimacy advisor on X before getting the role as Pearl's mother. And she needed to learn German.
00:16:28
Speaker
in order to get that role, which she did. And she is so good in it. I just assumed she was a German actress. I assume the very same. Yeah. Like some like, oh, yes, but doing it forever. Great. Good for her. And she plays it so straight. It is is a really good performance. Yeah, it's not it's very akin to Carrie's mom without being, you know, not over the top. Yeah. Until, you know, the end really. But in that movie, but not in
00:16:57
Speaker
Certainly not in Pearl. Yeah, yeah. And certainly, yeah, it's nice to talk about this movie after watching Avatar because this is a well crafted movie, like, but not overproduced, you know, it's a hard balance to get. Again, a lot of- Restrained. Yeah. Where it needs to be, where it should be. Right. And that's what makes the violence when it happens so explosive.
00:17:24
Speaker
Yeah. But you know, it's coming. But even then, it's like, whoa, you know, like I had, you know, I found myself doing that, you know, it's like, like you said, whoa. And then with so many new characters as well, they could survive or can they or, you know, they or, you know, I will. And and why won't they get and the and again, I saw this in the theater as well. And
00:17:51
Speaker
I tend to be, you know, larger gregarious with my movies and viewing them.
00:17:56
Speaker
And so at the final scene, the final shot, when it irises out just to her face and she's still putting on that smile, I was laughing so hard. And everybody else finally like, it just passed that point. They're like, okay, we can laugh at this. This is okay. I'm like, yes, it's there for release people. It's very intentional. That's why it's doing it and it's great. But the scene, you know, there's some things you could hold up, you know, it's like,
00:18:23
Speaker
Why is this working? We talked about scenes last week. I talked about the dance scene from RRR, the fight scene from They Live. But her confession or her opening up, her just letting go finally and being honest with someone, condemning them to die at the same time. But that scene just unfolds. It's like 15 minutes long and it is just
00:18:51
Speaker
I mean, she is so good at where she starts and where she ends. And the camera is pretty much on her, I think the whole time. I'd have to go back and look if it cuts away to the. It just cuts away, but it does most very minimal on her. Yeah. Yeah. Enough to let you know what the other characters mindset is. Exactly. Right. Because it takes well for that character to click to click. Yeah. Yeah. And just giving that to a horror villain, giving, you know, giving that space.
00:19:19
Speaker
And it's just remarkable. And it's remarkably well handled. It's amazingly well done. Again, all kudos to Mia Goth for just not, I mean, not out of the park, but off the planet.
00:19:33
Speaker
I just say that as well, you know, you mentioned that last scene and I think another thing that I really enjoy about the movie. Um, I think anyone who likes Alfred Hitchcock will appreciate the hell out of this one. Oh my God. They're, they're more so than X, X is for Texas chainsaw fans.
00:19:51
Speaker
But there's a lot of Hitchcock in this movie, including that last shot. You know, it is great. And the way that tension gets built up is very Hitchcockian. And the stylization, the colors, a lot of that is pure, pure vintage, you know, pure Hitchcock Prime. Yeah.
00:20:11
Speaker
which for me is, you know, in the fifties. Oh, totally, totally. Yeah, it is that Technicolor Hitchcock, for sure. What else you got? Because since I talked to that one as well. Right. OK, so, yeah, I think we kind of overlapped on that one. The next one that I've got is Todd Fields Tarr.
Power & Accountability in Film
00:20:32
Speaker
Tarr. And that was actually a made up name, but they found out afterwards that
00:20:40
Speaker
It does mean something in one language and that being Icelandic and it means tear and they're like, oh, that's perfect. Oh, we knew that. Right. You know, but they didn't. But yeah, it's just such a complete and powerful kind of character study that I think has been portrayed as like all being all about cancel culture. I think that's something
00:21:05
Speaker
part of it. That's part of the story, but it's also an accountability, you know, but also a development. I mean, it's a development. And yeah, yeah, it doesn't it doesn't make the decisions for you. It just lays out this whole thing in front of you in this movie. Although I would say, you know, and I'm going to again, let's get called a joke with the second Avatar movie being a romance movie because it's so in love with itself.
00:21:31
Speaker
Yeah. This one, ghost story. Yeah, I can see that. The opening shot. You don't know whose phone that is. And I think it's the girl that kills herself, the dead girl.
00:21:42
Speaker
And so I think all the then all the noises and weird shit she starts seeing. I think that's the ghost. Oh, yeah. The books getting moved. Yeah. All this stuff happening is all very ghost like. In fact, the one again, my bit of trivia was that when she's jogging and she hears the screaming in the woods. Yeah. Yeah. That's the the audio is actually from the end of Blair Witch Project.
00:22:12
Speaker
Is it really? Oh, that's the woman screaming at the end of Blair Witch. And I'm like, oh, that's perfect. Well, see, this is the thing, like Todd Field worked on this for so long that it is, and that shows, it's just so rich with the stuff, but there's no way in a single viewing that you're going to pick up everything in the movie. I mean, like I didn't even cotton on to some of the things that you're mentioning there.
00:22:35
Speaker
But you can kind of rest assured that there are all these layers here and it's worth going back to revisit. I talk about him taking a long time making this, but I think it's only marginally longer than James Cameron spent on Avatar 2.
00:22:55
Speaker
Yeah. You know, invest in character development, invest in effects. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Cate Blanchett as well. And what a year. I mean, the past couple of years, she's just been knocking out of the park with everything that she's been in. Yeah. And she's just fantastic. And, you know, I finally saw Carol for the first time recently. Oh, I loved it. But I'm comparing it with her in tar to this, too. It's just like, you know, there's a certain similarity.
00:23:26
Speaker
Right. Between the almost predatory versus full predatory. Interesting, yeah. Aspect to the character and like, oh, is that, is that, you know, one of the criticisms I've seen for Tar, you know, laid out is that like, oh, great, you know, the lesbians are villains. I've seen that, yeah. The strong female, you know, oh, yeah, great, strong female lesbian person out there. Oh, and she's terrible.
00:23:51
Speaker
Right. And now she's going to get what she deserves kind of thing. But that's not the point of the movie, you know? No, I don't think so either. But I think, yeah, because I don't think it would have played the same the other way around. Being a straight white guy, I can't really say, no, that's not what's going on here at all. Oh, no, totally, totally. But the same token, I'm like, is that two reduction? Is it missing? I don't know. Or am I just making excuses?
00:24:18
Speaker
I mean, I think it's excellent. I think there's so many layers in it and it's so convincing as well. Like that whole interview that goes on for like 20 minutes at the beginning. It's really interesting, but it's kind of interesting like when you're switching channels and you're like, oh, this documentary is talking about something that I don't know much about. And it's wild.
00:24:40
Speaker
Well, and when it's stripped of the, uh, sorry, I keep saying accountability, but, you know, some kind of tie, it's when she starts to begin to having tied to reality versus the reality she's generated.
00:24:55
Speaker
Yeah. And why she's had to do so. And that's an indictment of why that happens and how that happens. I think it's a classic story, isn't it? The power corrupts. Right. And it's as old as the hills. But that's only one layer to this movie. Exactly. It's just so many different layers. You could take that and run with it as a thesis, but there's probably a dozen others you could as well.
00:25:21
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. And then-
Unique Styles in Cinema: Road Movies & Biopics
00:25:23
Speaker
All right, what else you got? Oh, go ahead. Right. Oh, what's your next one? Oh. So, in terms of lists, in terms of stylus, where it might fall, because I had tar closer to the top, kind of. Oh, you had tar? Okay, I didn't realize that was an overlap. Oh, yes. That's an overlap.
00:25:41
Speaker
Great, great. Okay. We'll probably have two. Let me jump to more at least. Okay. I'm going to jump on the next one. I imagine that this is one that we don't overlap on because it came out earlier in the year.
00:25:57
Speaker
Um, didn't, you know, it's a smaller film and it's called compartment number six and it's a Finnish Russian movie. And it's about this woman who goes on this, this, this train ride, um, on the Trans-Siberian.
00:26:13
Speaker
there's this this this minor this Russian minor who comes on and he's quite uncouth and he's rough and he's lewd and he's constantly drinking and and she's she's a student and and quite serious and academic um and it's kind of uh you know a fish out of water story but but that the relationship that starts developing between these two is quite
00:26:39
Speaker
interesting. It's not like a romantic relationship because she has, she's a lesbian, she's got a girlfriend back in wherever her university is. But it is really interesting and it's kind of a road movie as well, which I like.
00:26:56
Speaker
And I find it quite interesting seeing these different ways of life in these sort of small remote areas as well. And she's seeing it the way we are as well. This is all new to her. But it's a nice little movie. And I think it's being put forth for Best International Feature at the Academy Awards.
00:27:20
Speaker
But yeah, yeah, nice little movie. And I don't think many people have heard of it, but called compartment number six, number six. Very good. And do you want me to pick up another one? I feel a little bit better if I can work my way through this list. And the next one is a bit of a bigger movie. Contrary to what people have said, this is a horror through and through. This is a horror. And this is Andrew Dominick's blonde and
00:27:49
Speaker
people were expecting this to be a biopic of Marilyn Monroe. It is not a biopic of Marilyn Monroe. It's based on a fictional book. That's a fictional biopic of Marilyn Monroe.
00:28:06
Speaker
Andrew Dominick, man. Oh, my God. It is. It uses all the camera angles, all the pacing, all the imagery of a horror movie. And it is horror of the highest caliber. It is.
00:28:21
Speaker
closer to films like Revulsion, Hour of the Wolf, Mulholland Drive than any kind of biopic, which is why I'm surprised that the trailers kind of portrayed it as being a biopic, which is dumb. This is why executives shouldn't be behind these decisions because the only thing that's going to happen is people are going to go there expecting something and it's not going to be what they're expecting and they're going to be unhappy.
00:28:47
Speaker
But it is really mesmerizing. And, you know, all the movies that, you know, Andrew Dominick has done have always been quite gritty. And he does, again, he's another one that takes his time on making movies as well.
00:29:03
Speaker
Um, I don't know if you've seen any of his other movies, you know, the assassination of Jesse James by the coward, dot, dot, dot, dot, um, chopper. Um, he's done a couple of documentaries with Nick cave, but, uh, blonde is, was a real surprise. Um, not at all what I expected.
00:29:23
Speaker
Yeah, well, I saw one review and I saw one line from one review and said, called it a snuff film, which again, puts it in the horror that, you know, I'm like, yeah, but but in terms of at least recognizing there's a horror element to it.
00:29:39
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I think that's probably where it's where it's coming from. But if you're thinking in terms of a snuff film, then it is around the kind of sleaziness of people around her. Did you see it? Not yet. Not yet. OK, so yeah, I could watch Anna Darmus read the newspaper for two hours and be entertained. But, you know, also, hey, if she's in a good movie, that's even a bonus.
00:30:05
Speaker
Yeah, it's a really good movie. And yeah, in my book, Andrew Dominick is just just hits, hits, hits, hits it every time he, you know, at least on some level, he might risk some stuff, but at least it's watchable. It's worth it. Absolutely. Absolutely. And, you know, yeah, you're not bored at any point. And just in the first 10 minutes of the movie,
00:30:30
Speaker
it lays the gauntlet down and goes, fuck you all, it's a horror, you know, and, and, and, and it just does it, does it all in and you're not, you know, it's, it's even me telling you this, you're not going to quite realize how hellish it can get very, very quickly.
00:30:47
Speaker
And the cinematography is really good. It just grabs you by the throat. It's fantastic. And the music is from Nick Cave and Warren Ellis as well. Oh, nice. Well, I'm going to stick with the stick with the horror thing and I'm going to pick one that you had lower on your list and I moved it to higher because I thought it was that good.
Jordan Peele & Originality
00:31:07
Speaker
It was Jordan Peele's Nope.
00:31:10
Speaker
Yes, I understand that. And I understand why it might falter in there too, but just from the holy original and creative and being a, you know, ultimately an indictment of the way Hollywood treats black actors and black creatives.
00:31:29
Speaker
Yeah. Or Asian, you know, Asian actors as well. Right. Yeah. Basically, yeah. BIPOC. Right. Pretty much anybody that's not a straight white guy. Yeah. And but how it's told, you know, and that that you kind of get, but at the other point, it's still just as entertaining as hell or a movie that is, you know, alien again, bad aliens again. So I'm obviously going to love it because bad aliens. They're not trying to. Never good. They're not. Yeah, exactly.
00:31:58
Speaker
They're not lost, they're bad. But such an original concept for one, such a regular way for everything plays out and how it's handled and how people react to it, and how they get from point A to point B in that movie, how good all the performances are. Listen, everyone. Yeah.
00:32:18
Speaker
in that movie is fantastic. And that has to do with, you know, how well done the script is and what Peele gets out of them, you know, improv wise as well. I mean, you know, going in, it's just, I just love the title because it's again, that thing that, you know, Eddie Murphy was a joke. Yeah, I think it was a yep. Nope. And the main character, she even said, nope.
00:32:44
Speaker
You know, at one point it's like, yeah, no, actually that is also in a barbarian.
00:32:49
Speaker
the lead character in the presentation story. She's like looking down the hall or down the basement. She's like, nope. Like, there we go. Thank you. But it's also that refreshing, you know, like, hey, this isn't the normal thing. We're going to have a different perspective here. But then we're going to do it just exceptionally well. I mean, this is imagine you're watching a masterwork here, which again,
00:33:14
Speaker
Uh, I recently took like a sketch comedy, uh, history sort of examination class thing. And we're talking about Key and Peele in that too. It was like, Oh man, this is the same guy. Like where, where did this come from? Well done, sir. Well done.
00:33:30
Speaker
I doff my cap to you. I did not see that coming. So for all those reasons, I just I just enjoyed it so much because it was so I mean, I expected it to be good, but there was no giveaway. You know, here's a trailer, obviously, where he was probably in charge of her lease. Oh, perfectly done trailer. Yes. Perfectly done trailer as well. No giveaways. Just enough to make you go. I mean, what? Yeah.
00:33:52
Speaker
to kick off a bunch of conspiracy theories about what this next one's going to be about and get people's interest. But there's a lot tying that movie also back to like early Spielberg in some of his very best movies. And I'd still say that to this day.
00:34:09
Speaker
Another one of those directors that peaked very early like Cameron did and then I think started craving that establishment acceptance, winning the Oscar and all those tick boxes that really don't mean anything and should be ignored.
00:34:30
Speaker
Yeah yeah I don't want to give away which movie but but then then then that bounces back to the inspirations for Spielberg as well so probably go back to Hitchcock again on this one. Again that's that it's funny though I would call that out it's like you know as much as my you know aliens are evil thing the I mean Close Encounters is one of my favorite movies in terms of sci-fi.
00:34:50
Speaker
And quite experimental for a mainstream successful movie. Yeah, there's a lot in there that you're like, wait, what? Spielberg did this? And so much in there that wasn't explained. Exactly. Why is there a ship in the desert? That's all you need to know. There's a ship in the desert. But not annoyingly so. Not like, wait, what happened? Where did these people go? What happened? Wait, did I miss something? Yeah. Rather than like, oh, OK, this weird stuff's happening. And yeah, this nope has that in very much in line.
00:35:21
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. All you needed to know is the aliens have some kind of agenda. We're not going to understand it. Yep. They're doing stuff. We just have to survive. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. OK. Shall I do a couple more? So the next one that I have is from another first time director, which is going to be a theme.
Themes of Time & Memory
00:35:42
Speaker
And it's it surprised me so much at how many first time directors have just
00:35:47
Speaker
knocked it out of the park this year. And this one is from Charlotte Wells, and she's created this movie called After Sun. And it plays with time and memory, and it is about this father and daughter who go to Spain. And what we know at the beginning of the movie is
00:36:12
Speaker
uh this is this is their last kind of trip abroad together um we we don't know why uh and it's it's it's clearly a memory of of this time period and it's done it's there's a lot of of like home video footage as well uh because we're talking about the 90s here and um
00:36:33
Speaker
Again, it's another one of those kind of things that you soak in and you get absorbed in the location and the characters who are both really, really likable and the location, it feels like you're on holiday with them.
00:36:49
Speaker
It doesn't explain everything. And in fact, there isn't like a twist at the end. There sort of is, but not like, aha, look how clever I am, you know, kind of an M. Night Shyam, Mala, Mala, Mading, Dong kind of ending. But yeah, it's really good, really good. And then the performances. And this is another one where there's a kid just
00:37:14
Speaker
doing amazing acting work. Just amazing. And you sort of have to pinch yourself and remind yourself that you're actually looking at actors on this one. And it's also quite interesting to see a father and daughter. You don't see that too often, especially with an adult, the daughter not being an adult. That's quite common. That's more common.
00:37:36
Speaker
And then usually one of the two characters is a secondary character whereas these two are both leads in the movie, but yeah extraordinary movie and I'm kind of I'm really looking forward to seeing what.
00:37:52
Speaker
what she does next, because she's showing a lot of strengths that I've seen in other directors that I really like, like Celine Chiama, one of the few French directors that I really like. But yeah, really good, really good. Quite, quite understated, but yeah, just fresh, just completely new.
00:38:16
Speaker
And the next one that I have on here is the Daniels, everything everywhere all at once.
Exceptional Performances & Storytelling
00:38:25
Speaker
Yes. That's an overlap. And you've got it in your list as well? Okay. Okay. Yeah. So we're overlapping in quite a bit here, but it just took so many risks.
00:38:39
Speaker
had a lot of effects in it, but all the effects served the story. And again, we're kind of going back to the first sort of independent review that we've done for Avatar. Every effect here is not, and I've seen stuff that they've cut out where they thought that looks cool, but it, you know, do we really need that for the story?
00:39:01
Speaker
and they've had the discipline to actually remove it. And then the performances across the board on this one, you know, Michelle Yeoh and Kei Hoi Kwon, I'm never quite sure how to pronounce this name. Yes, same. They are both so good. And then Jamie Lee Curtis' supporting role is amazing, the fight choreography in it.
00:39:26
Speaker
the heart of the movie as well. There are dozens of really fantastic lines in this movie that are afforded because you're cutting across all these different worlds and different lives. And it was so refreshing. I really enjoyed it. I'm really looking forward to watching this one again as soon as I can.
00:39:51
Speaker
And I would also call it Stephanie issue issue or Hugh as the daughter just coming out of nowhere kind of thing just like wow. Yeah, does not disappoint.
00:40:06
Speaker
And it was so grounded. Did you know what I mean? It's really unusual for a movie that has sci-fi elements as big as this to be so grounded in family. Because that's what's at the heart of the whole thing. Yeah. And not just family, but generational trauma. Yeah. Being handed in like what you do with it. And finally, somebody trying to put an end to it is ultimately what it's about and how you all can or cannot reconcile that.
00:40:36
Speaker
And James Hong as well, if we're going to mention more actors. Oh, yeah. Anytime David Lopez adds to his list. But yes, yes, that one very much so just like just blew me away how good it was. I mean, I'd heard how good it was. And then I went in, I'm like, wow, that was actually better than I thought it was going to be somehow.
00:40:56
Speaker
Did you see Swiss Army Man? So that was their premiere. Oh, that was their premiere one. I did not. I'm familiar with it, but I have not watched it yet. I enjoyed that quite a bit as well. I felt it didn't quite make the landing, but the the rest of the movie is extremely enjoyable. And again, Daniel Radcliffe is putting in a fantastic performance as a corpse.
00:41:21
Speaker
So yeah, they are definitely people to look out for. And I think they've got the attention that they deserve now because I've seen them on a few round tables where they've been sitting with the great and the good. So yeah.
00:41:35
Speaker
cool. Um, okay. That was an overlap. So, um, uh, okay. One more overlap. Uh, at least I think, um, okay. I'll, I'll go for one another one of my two left. So one of those is an overlap. The other may or may not be.
00:41:53
Speaker
I'm going to go for the last one that is probably going to be lesser known. And that is from director Achepetong, we're so cool.
00:42:08
Speaker
And it's Memorial and he did a film, one of my favorite movies, called Uncle Boone Me and his... Oh, Red Lives, he calls his past lives. He calls his past lives. Yeah. And this one is really interesting. It's got Tilda Swinton in the lead on this one. And what it starts with is she is in bed
00:42:35
Speaker
and she hears this god-awful sort of metallic banging and or or just like a gong almost and she doesn't know where the sound is coming from and she like
00:42:50
Speaker
starts this investigation to try to figure out where the sound is. And it's almost supernatural as the film goes on. But again, it's another one of these kind of atmosphere pieces. It is a slow burn, but there were bits where, you know, the hairs in the back of my neck were standing up kind of creepy. Most of it is drama, but I liked the fact that it was spiced up with a little touches of horror here and there.
00:43:16
Speaker
And then it was also interesting to kind of see her, you know, on this journey. She was in Columbia, kind of traveling around. And just the idea that it starts with this Scots woman.
00:43:33
Speaker
in Columbia, wakes up, hears a loud boom, and she's the only one that can hear it. And she starts to pick her way through it, including going to a sound studio and talking with a sound technician and describing the sound. And they kind of work together for the sequence for like 15 minutes. She's like, no, no, no, it's a little bit, you know, it's a little bit deeper than that kind of thing. And it's just eerie.
00:43:58
Speaker
It's just really, really eerie. And at no point do you know, where's this movie going to go next? Cool. So I've got four more on my list.
Intense Narratives & Cinematography
00:44:09
Speaker
And the next one that I have is Edward Berger's All Quiet on the Western Front.
00:44:16
Speaker
And I was actually getting worried that this movie was going to be overlooked in awards season because I didn't see it get mentioned. And just yesterday, it got the most nominations at the BAFTAs over here in the UK.
00:44:35
Speaker
And I was so glad because I think this movie really deserves it. It's intense, it's visceral, it's beautiful. It's got this minimalist score that keeps kind of repeating like a chime through the movie in different tones. The cinematography is just across the board, amazing.
00:45:01
Speaker
It just says so much about the inequality between people as much as the war, and the lead guy is fantastic, and also getting that sort of German perspective set in World War I, and kind of understanding these lies that
00:45:23
Speaker
uh you know countries were telling their citizens to get them to go to the front line you know um so you you have this transition at the beginning where they are excited singing songs and you know patting each other in the back and then they go to collect their uniforms and what they did in world war one is they went to the battlefield and they stripped the bodies and then then knitted up the bullet holes in the the the you know uniforms because you know
00:45:52
Speaker
it was hard to get the materials to get new uniforms. And these guys are like, you know, kind of noticing these things and slowly the tone gets darker and darker as it goes. But yeah, it's it's so good. It's so good. And it's I mean, it just flew by while he's watching it.
00:46:09
Speaker
And I think it's a really accessible movie as well. So unlike a lot of the stuff that I've mentioned in my list, this one is, yeah, I think anyone would appreciate this. And it's one of those ones that you kind of realize the younger generation probably need to be reminded of this again and again, as they get more and more distant from these wars. The Watson Matilda line, right? Yeah. Young people ask me what are they marching for? And I ask myself the same question.
00:46:39
Speaker
Yeah, that's exactly it. So, yeah, all quiet on the Western front. Very good. The latest version. The latest version. And I think this adaption it's the director already said it doesn't it doesn't adhere to the book very much. It's it's heavily inspired by the book. But but he does he does his own thing with it. And it's the first time it's ever been made by
00:47:06
Speaker
uh, German filmmakers. It's always been made by, uh, Americans or British. Um, and this is the first time that it's actually been done, uh, by a German director in the German language. And, uh, it's, uh, yeah, to be honest, I had forgotten about it. Like, I remember like seeing it when it was coming out and like, Oh, sweet. You know, it didn't get much publicity. No, it didn't. No, weird.
00:47:29
Speaker
Yeah, it might do if it picks up enough for words. But yeah, it's definitely one that I think most people would get into, at least with our taste. Nice. Nice nice caveat.
00:47:45
Speaker
How many did you say have you left? I have two. You have two. OK, I have three. So the next one that I have is Decision to Leave from Park Chan Wook, which is hard to talk about.
Narrative Styles & Thematic Depth
00:48:02
Speaker
I've been trying to even sort of write a review about it. But it's one of those movies that I don't want to spoil. I think probably the best way of describing it
00:48:12
Speaker
Um, and, and this isn't spoiling anything. Uh, I wouldn't say it otherwise, uh, is that it has a real texture to it that reminds me of vertigo. Um, it's not the same story at all, but it has a texture and feeling to it, to vertigo. And it also, uh, and, and this is something that if you've not seen it yet is pay attention to the heights.
00:48:40
Speaker
Uh, at which people are in the movie and the direction from which the camera is looking at, looking at the characters, either looking down at the characters or looking up at the characters. Um, and, and as, as the film goes on, this changes and it's part of the narrative. It's almost an unspoken part of the storytelling in the movie. And it's, it's becomes narrator.
00:49:03
Speaker
It's pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah. But really subtle. It's not heavy handed. You could completely miss it. I needed to watch it a second time. Uh, and I read an article about that and I went back and I was like, it looks so obvious, you know, going back. So, and I'm such a nerd. That's one of the things I notice or tend to notice and things like, Oh, look what they did there. That's cool. That's cute.
00:49:28
Speaker
Nice. Well, that's why, that's why we have your round. That's right. Seasoned expert here. Um, so I'm gonna, I'm gonna go with the one, uh, the one that will not overlap. I'm sure for me, uh, in my gold list, which doesn't seem exactly.
Action & Character Development
00:49:47
Speaker
And it does reflect to the eighties is Top Gun 2 Maverick.
00:49:52
Speaker
Oh wow, okay. And then the reason why is it's that same thing I had with the scream thing as well. It's like, how do you redo, how do you revisit this?
00:50:02
Speaker
without just being either nostalgia or maybe correcting some past sins, but also handling some sensitive things now, like a, you know, a different reality. You know, the worldview is for especially for America is a little different now that it was in 86 while still being true to the original, but not in a way that's annoying or cloying or just redoing or, you know, it's being the same movie again. And how do you deal with an aging,
00:50:32
Speaker
the aging star moving in that now he's not the hot thing, but it's that still the American, the old cranky American versus the young upstart brash American. I can see that. Yeah. So it works though. It's one of those times where in the first Top Gun movie, Tom Cruise didn't really act. He was just there to be pretty and to react.
00:50:59
Speaker
In this one, he actually has to emote, has to give stuff, again, which we talked about before, he can do. He can turn that on when he needs to. In this one, he has to a couple times. He's not all in charge. He's still being like, what was the line from Trainspotting to a tourist in his own childhood?
00:51:22
Speaker
Uh, a bit. Um, there, there's some, there's some good emotional depth there that you, you know, they mined out of that. Like, obviously, you know, Top Gun, you don't think of as having that kind of basis. And, you know, you're rethinking a more just Navy recruitment movie.
00:51:37
Speaker
Which it was. Which it very much so was, yeah, exactly. But this one's, it's sharper, but I think the action seeds are even better than they were. The first one kind of set a standard for what you can do and how do you show it. This one moved the goalposts, I think, too, because they raise the stakes and everything like that. And then the dynamics that they play with
00:52:03
Speaker
Uh, are much better the way they include Val Kilmer who, you know, has all this health issues and he can't speak is excellent. It's very well done. Uh, it was just such a surprise. I was like, I kept hearing great things about it. I'm like, okay, fine. I'll watch it. And I'm like, wow. That actually was that for, for action, you know, and again, it's the sole action movie I've got on the list because I love action movies. I got to put something there, but, uh, that's not a, it doesn't feel forced to put it into the gold standard for me because it's like,
00:52:33
Speaker
that James Cameron, that's how you make an action movie. Yeah, I agree with that. I agree with that. I think it was certainly much better than than I expected. And I also should point out that Miles Teller was very good. Yeah, as as rooster.
00:52:52
Speaker
But yeah, I think overall, there were a couple of things that kind of, yeah, it was definitely entertaining. It was certainly, so like comparing it to the experience that I had going to Avatar. I don't think I was bored at any point in this movie. You know, if it's slumped, because it is quite tight, this movie. It is well crafted.
00:53:18
Speaker
But some of the things like I think Jennifer Connolly wasn't a necessary storyline in it. It was, it felt a little bit tacked on to me. But the whole thing about
00:53:33
Speaker
Uh, the, the, how the action sequences, uh, progress, uh, through the last half of the movie is, is, is very, very good and not as predictable as one would, one would think to, um, uh, the enemy was completely faceless. In fact, they, they look like gamma lawns to me. If you think back to the starblazer series, cause they had amazing cool helmets that are just all like shiny black.
00:53:58
Speaker
Um, which is, uh, yeah, it's, it, it, I don't know if that was intentional that they're poking fun at themselves with that. I like to think that they are, um, there was, there was a lot of that, I think without being, yeah, without being heavy handed about it.
00:54:13
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the one thing that I did find it a little bit heavy handed was, was, is the very end. I think there was as a big Porsche product placement shot at the very end of the movie that I thought wasn't, wasn't needed, which kind of tax goes back to that whole, like Jennifer call it Connolly story is, um, I think in, in where, uh, Maverick was at in his life at that point.
00:54:36
Speaker
Um, it kind of blends it a little bit, that kind of loneliness. Like when he stood outside the bar and looking in, you got this whole new generation in there. Um, that's quite a poignant moment. And you talk about, uh, uh, Cruz's acting, uh, and, and he, he does, he does it there. And I think, I think the, the Jennifer Connolly thing is, um, uh, kind of distracts from that isolation. I would have loved for the movie to end without him there. Yeah.
00:55:02
Speaker
Yeah, to kind of leave him there. Yeah. And to him to be happy with his self, right? Yeah, ultimately, right. Yeah, that'd be.
00:55:10
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. So yeah, these are kind of minor quibbles, because I think most of the people who enjoyed the first movie are going to enjoy the hell out of this one, because this is a far superior movie. Yes, agreed. All right, you got two left, don't you? I've got two left, and they're both Irish, these movies.
Emotional Impact in Storytelling
00:55:29
Speaker
So the first one I'll take is Cold and Barriads, The Quiet Girl.
00:55:36
Speaker
Oh my god. Wow. So I'd seen that this was on quite a few top ten lists and I watched this one over Christmas. It is an absolute powerhouse. Just it's
00:55:54
Speaker
It's quite low key. It's quiet but intense. It is beautiful. The script is great. The character development is off the charts. The cinematography, the music, everything comes together in this little film. And again, there's a child performance at the center of this that is unreal. And it is...
00:56:21
Speaker
I cannot imagine a person not enjoying this movie. I think, again, this is another one that's super accessible and keeps the tone maintained through the whole thing. And again, this is another debut feature from a director who had never done a feature before.
00:56:39
Speaker
It's based in a book, but it's the director had written the screenplay himself, and it is about this girl, I believe it's the early 80s that it set in Ireland, and she lives with several brothers and sisters with parents who
00:57:01
Speaker
lack any sort of parental skills, put it that way. And she, the film is kind of touches on that at the very beginning, but then she ends up getting to spend the summer with this distant aunt and uncle who have a farm. And that kind of kicks off the story, but
00:57:23
Speaker
They they they are really kind people there and she is completely not used to it at all. She doesn't react negatively. She just just in awe.
00:57:38
Speaker
of people behave this way in a civilized manner. I don't want to give much more away, but the aunt and the uncle, both, the actors who play them are so good, so, so good. Your heart will grow two sizes after watching this, but it's not a sweet movie, but it's an Irish movie.
00:58:07
Speaker
But it is so, so good. If anyone said, oh, do you want to watch this movie? I'd go, yeah, sure. I'll watch it again with you. And I think that's kind of true. Probably most of the movies, both not just the gold, but the silver and the bronze that we've talked about, I'd probably watch again in an instant with the exception of Mad God because I can't afford a psychiatrist.
00:58:33
Speaker
Yeah. Actually, I'll tell you what it reminds me of. It does remind me of a Japanese director. Was it Ozu? Or even, you know, Kurosawa's drama movies. It's kind of like that, but more accessible than that, I think. Okay. Cool. All right. Then we've reached the last spot, the number one.
00:59:00
Speaker
And oh, do you just have one left? I just have one left. You just have one left. And I'm sure they cross over. What is it? What do you got? I just like hearing that. Let me done this.
The Banshees of Inna Sherin: An Analysis
00:59:19
Speaker
Thanks, ABC.
00:59:26
Speaker
It would be the banshees of Inna Sharon. We have lined up. And I assume that's already lined up since you said your two were Irish and you already had the other one. So, and yes, I just, I mean,
00:59:36
Speaker
I figured it'd be good with that kind of who's going together there. And that combination worked very well within Bruges, I thought. It's another level home. Yeah, this is another level. And it's funny recommending it. So it's like, what's the story about? I'm like, well,
00:59:58
Speaker
Let me tell you the premise and where it starts and where it goes and there have been elements of that in McDonough's other movies and here I think it finally came together for him.
01:00:09
Speaker
because if you watch, you know, in Bruges and you watch Calvary, you know, and things like that, elements are there. But here, everything is perfect. And again, based on the performances, especially Colin Farrell, he is remarkable. I mean, I've enjoyed him again when he acts, right? He's another one of those.
01:00:32
Speaker
but here he is you just gotta you feel for the guy but you also understand why this is happening to or why he's in this position.
01:00:41
Speaker
Yeah. But also it's this thing about though you get to it by the end now. And again, I would argue, you know, ultimately the film's about Ireland. He represents this version of Ireland, a version of it, where there's a reality of it that both his sister and other actor, totally spacing, Brendan Gleason. Brendan Gleason, yeah. Represent.
01:01:04
Speaker
Yeah, well, that's the other thing that I like about this movie is that you can read it in so many levels. So, you know, on its surface, even just on its surface, it's quite an interesting story about, you know, you know, Brendan Gleason is interested about legacy and Colin Farrell is interested about the here and now and being kind.
01:01:24
Speaker
you know and and that kind of you know the artist you know does he need to sacrifice his life to for his art kind of thing and and to have a legacy all of this stuff i mean it's taken to an extreme here and then yeah you have the whole thing being set on the island and just over the water
01:01:44
Speaker
you know, there's fighting going on. And then you have these amazing figures in the film that, you know, like the old woman who looks like death, you know, from Bergman kind of, yeah.
01:02:03
Speaker
And you just have all these questions and it doesn't answer the questions, which is something that I like as well. It's not after answering. It's after asking. Yeah, it's kicking up the desk to make you think about these things. It's Brendan Gleason's whole point is like quit screwing around, quit living in this lala world, try to face reality, try to grow up, try to take a stand, try to evolve.
01:02:29
Speaker
And he just can't take it anymore. And again, I think that's why I think it's, you know, and then yeah, with the comments with the stuff across the water and all that. Oh, and a great performance by a donkey. I will say that too.
01:02:42
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. And and, you know, there is a there's another donkey movie that is getting a lot of acclaim. You know, was it? Yeah. Which. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe it's the same donkey. You know, I have to have to look up the donkey on. There's stars. I am. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I thought that was a horse in that movie. Oh, God, that donkey is so good. But also ultimately, you know, the band Jesus and
01:03:11
Speaker
You know, it is funny. It's that very Irish gallows humor, serious, but then you have to laugh at the seriousness, but then you can't ignore the seriousness. And the setting as well as like another character. I mean, what an amazing life it would have been to, you know, you have your house, you walk to the pub, you see your friends. At the same time, every day. Yeah. Have dinner with the donkey in the house.
01:03:37
Speaker
And then you had that whole story with the sister as well. And she was very good too. I mean, every character, I would have my saying, every character in that movie was terrific. Yeah, not a thing I'd change. And yeah, I was completely blown away. In fact, that was probably one of the first movies
01:03:55
Speaker
since we started Two Oceans that I actually went to go to the cinema to watch. And I was just, yeah, blown away with that. But that is getting a lot of good attention, which is nice. So, yeah. So, yeah, we were in agreement at least when it comes to the end there. Look at us, yeah. Well done, 20 points here.
01:04:17
Speaker
Wow. Looking forward to 2020 in terms of films. Wow. Wow. I think that'll be a lot easier next year if we keep on top of things this year. Right. There's so many movies. You know, this is the thing that the amount of movies being released is crazy. It's impossible. It's impossible to see everything. It truly is. Yeah. It's really difficult. Thank God they're not all three hours, though. That's all I've got to say.
01:04:47
Speaker
Only the majority of them anymore. Great. Okay, so what are we doing next week? Next week we're doing the disappointments of 2022. Disappointments and honorable mentions. And honorable mentions. Nice. Nice. Good. Good. We can catch all those ones that we missed out. That'll be a nice one. Especially the honorable mentions. That's a fun list.
01:05:11
Speaker
Yeah, for me. I've got six on there right now. There might be more. Six seems to be my operating thing, so I can still get a word in edgewise. I'll try to keep it to six. Try to keep it to double digits. More, more. There's so many, so why not?
01:05:37
Speaker
This movie's three hours long. That's ridiculous. But my podcast is three hours long. That's okay. Cause I ran for a half of it on three hour movies.
Next Episode Preview: Disappointments & Honorable Mentions
01:05:49
Speaker
And that's what outreach. Yeah. So ultimately we're back to, this is why James Cameron's lost it. Yeah.
01:06:23
Speaker
See what all this is fecking about? That'll be the best thing.
