"IF"

Episode 393 - Cannes 2024 (So Far), "Megalopolis," "Kinds Of Kindness" & "Emilia Perez"

Delving into this story with families at the core, in this Film Ireland podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Gary Lennon, Director of Piano Dreams.

There are currently 40 million piano students in China. With many practising up to ten hours a day, pianomania has truly gripped the nation. We follow three young hopefuls and their dedicated families as they chase their dreams in the ultra-competitive world of piano education. This is both an intimate portrait of remarkably talented young musicians and a glimpse into the lives of the new Chinese middle class: their aspirations, their sacrifices and their sheer drive to succeed.

In cinemas 24th May 2024.

Our 2010 retrospective continues with Danny Boyle's "127 Hours" starring James Franco, Amber Tamblyn & Kate Mara. Based on the incredible true story of Aaron Ralston, the film was Boyle's anticipated follow-up to his Oscar-winning film "Slumdog Millionaire." Reuniting with his collaborators and getting a career-best performance out of Franco, the film earned six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. How has the survival drama held up all these years? Please tune in and listen to Sara Clements, Dan Bayer , and me discuss our thoughts on the direction, cinematography, editing, Franco's performance, its awards season run, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.

Chasing the Gold: Meet the (New) Hosts

For this week's main podcast review, Josh Parham and I recorded our review for George Miller's "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" shortly after watching the film at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it had its world premiere. Because this was such a large film and we didn't want to leave other members of the NBP team out, we asked those who wanted to contribute their thoughts to record themselves separately and send them in. So, throughout our SPOILER-FILLED review, you will also hear from Ema Sasic and Brendan Hodges. Starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Burke, Alyla Browne, Lachy Hulme, Nathan Jones, Charlee Fraser, Josh Helman, John Howard & Angus Sampson, the anticipated prequel to the Oscar-winning "Mad Max: Fury Road" finds George Miller back in the desert again giving us another entry in the "Mad Max" franchise. What did we think of the story, performances, action set pieces, and the bonkers glorious craftsmanship on display? Tune in as we discuss these elements, its awards potential, and more in our review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

But through some unexpected circumstances and a bold wardrobe choice, I found myself at the iconic event without even a ticket, thanks to my trusty "Oscars without a ticket" shirt.
