Yorgos Lion-Most as Venice Ends in Gold, and TIFF Rolls Merrily Along - ORC 9/14/23

"Poor Things" had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, where it received arguably the best reviews of the festival, winning the Golden Lion for Best Film in the process before screening at the Telluride and New York Film Festivals to equal raves and rapturous response from critics and audiences. The highly creative film is now playing in limited release from Searchlight Pictures, and we have a few interviews from the film we'd like to share with you. First up is my paired interview with the film's leading actress and co-producer, Academy Award-winner Emma Stone, and director and co-producer Academy Award-nominee Yorgos Lanthimos. After that, Ema Sasic speaks with the film's screenwriter, Academy Award-nominee Tony McNamara. And to end, I had a lovely chat with another of the film's stars, Academy Award-nominee Willem Dafoe. The film is up for your consideration in all eligible categories for this year's Academy Awards. Please be sure to check out the film before listening as SPOILERS are discussed. Thank you, and enjoy!

Interviews With Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe, Yorgos Lanthimos & Tony McNamara For "Poor Things"

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Ema Sasic, Josh Parham, Dan Bayer & Tom O'Brien. Today, we are reviewing the newest film from director Yorgos Lanthimos, "Poor Things," starring Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott & Jerrod Carmichael. Re-uniting Lanthimos, Stone, and screenwriter Tony McNamara after the award-winning success of "The Favourite," their latest collaboration has received even more positive reviews, winning the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and was a highlight on this year's film festival circuit. What do we think of it now that it has finally been released in theaters? Tune in as we discuss the story, its soon-to-be iconic cinematic heroin, the performances, design, and overall aesthetic for one of the year's most well-crafted films, and more, including its awards season chances, in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you, and enjoy!

"Poor Things"

There are some good looking movies coming out at the end of this year and they’re not disappointing. We knew long ago that we were going to be watching Yorgos Lanthimos’s newest surreal comedy “Poor Things” starring Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef & Jerrod Carmichael. We got a little bit of Frankenstein, some philosophical feminine and a “coming of life” story. Also, it’s steampunk. It’s surprisingly not as lame as you might think based on the word “steampunk’ but who doesn’t like stove pipe hats and telescope glasses and…what else is steam punk….air ships? Robots with handlebar mustaches? Ok, there are no robots with handlebar mustaches. Thank goodness. It’s just another strange and unique world full of fucking to behold from Yorgos Lanthimos and it doesn’t disappoint. Hear us tell of it.

Poor Things (2023)

Yorgos Lanthimos has not been a preferred filmmaker of the Safety Propaganda universe. Too self-consciously "weird". Too Letterboxd. That said, his new film 'Poor Things', starring Emma Stone in a virtuosic performance as a young woman with the brain of an infant, is a comic masterpiece. Based on a story by surrealist Scottish author Alsadair Gray, 'Poor Things' is an absolute delight to watch. Riotously funny. A must-see

Joining us to discuss this massive leap in Lanthimos' artistry, as well as other new films ('The Iron Claw', 'The Zone of Interest', etc,) is our friend Zane. A true HEAD if there ever was one.

The Cast of Poor Things

Poor Greek (W/Zane)

Yorgos Lanthimos' latest absurd comedy, Poor Things, creates a wonderful confluence of themes, all through the lens of Bella, a grown woman with a child's brain, experiencing the world anew and detached from emotion. We discuss Bella's attitude to the world she encounters, the men who try to control and cage her, Lanthimos' idiosyncratic visual style and comedic sensibility, the examination of the nuances of sex, what Mike finds lacking in the brothel scenes, and more.

Recorded on 14th January 2023.

#108 BIEDNE ISTOTY + PIES I ROBOT + PIEP*ZYĆ MICKIEWICZA, czyli mocne otwarcie 2024

Critique cinéma par François Bégaudeau du film "Pauvres Créatures" de Yórgos Lánthimos.

A Londres, une femme prénommée Bella subit une opération chirurgicale expérimentale suite à une tentative de suicide. En revenant à la vie, Bella s'ouvre au monde avec la candeur et la maladresse d’une âme d’enfant, dans le corps d’une femme, vierge de tout code de représentation sociale.

Date de sortie : 17 janvier 2024

Episode 65 : Pauvres Créatures

In der heurigen Award-Season hat sich ein Film nach vorne gepirscht, der auch bei den Oscars stark vertreten ist: THE HOLDOVERS - von einem Jungeninternat und einem teuflisch fiesen Geschichtslehrer. Wir empfehlen euch diesen Film wärmstens! Daher widmen sich Raul und Tobit in der heutigen Folge auch dem Regisseur, Alexander Payne, dessen Filme durch eine tragikomische Ader durchzogen sind. Was könnt ihr also erwarten? Schwarzer Humor, Alkohol, Fremdgehen, Voice Overs, Road Trips und eine gute Zeit.

156: PAYNE - Das tut weh!! (Alexander Payne)

Gavia and Steffan review Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things, a bold sci-fi comedy starring Emma Stone as a woman created through a Frankenstein-like experiment. Nominated for eleven Oscars, Poor Things is critically acclaimed but divisive - particularly regarding its depiction of female sexuality.

This week the directors are on the screen as we wander into a spaghetti western to preach liberation with Pier Paolo Pasolini and get naked and listen to Suicide with Yorgos Lanthimos

#137 - Directors as Actors

Is this the performance of Emma Stone's career? Is this the performance of Mark Ruffalo's career? Is this movie somehow weirder than The Lobster?

Poor Things Review

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, and this week with special guests Deirdre Molumby and Ciara Moloney, The 250 is a weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released Saturdays at 6pm GMT.

This week, Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things.

Bella Baxter is a most remarkable young woman. Although she has the body of an adult woman, she also seems to possess the mind of a child rapidly developing and growing. Under the guidance of her adoptive father Godwin Baxter and his assistant Max McCandless, Bella tries to navigate the complex and contradictory Victorian soiety, learning much about humanity - and herself.

At time of recording, it was ranked 246th on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.

The Official Podcast of Middle of the Row - @middleofrow

MMO is talk radio for movie fans with weekly news shows, reviews, previews, and special guests. We celebrate the Oscars by making awards season year round, without the stuffiness. If you love cinema, if you love showbiz, welcome home.

"I have this romantic idea of the movies as a conjunction of place, people and experiences, all different for each of us, a context in which individual and separate beings try to commune, where the individual experience overlaps with the communal and where that overlapping is demarcated by how we measure the differing responses between ourselves and the rest of the audience: do they laugh when we don’t (and what does that mean?); are they moved when we feel like laughing (and what does that say about me or the others) etc. The idea behind this podcast is to satiate the urge I sometimes have when I see a movie alone – to eavesdrop on what others say. What do they think? How does their experience compare to mine? Snippets are overhead as one leaves the cinema and are often food for thought. A longer snippet of such an experience is what I hope to provide: it’s two friends chatting immediately after a movie. It’s unrehearsed, meandering, slightly convoluted, certainly enthusiastic, and well informed, if not necessarily on all aspects a particular work gives rise to, certainly in terms of knowledge of cinema in general and considerable experience of watching different types of movies and watching movies in different types of ways. It’s not a review. It’s a conversation." - José Arroyo.

"I just like the sound of my own voice." - Michael Glass.

Podcast de critiques ciné et littéraire avec l'écrivain François Bégaudeau.
L'idée est de parler d'un film ou d'un livre, après sa sortie, pour laisser le temps aux intéressés de le voir/lire et d'y penser.

Dos viejos amigos que se echan terriblemente de menos hablan cada jueves sobre lo que les ha hecho sentir una película para acortar la distancia entre Tenerife y Berlín. Con Christophe Gaziello & Edgar Aponte. Contacto: dimepelis@gmail.com

"You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no Third Worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petrodollars, electro- dollars, multi-dollars, Reichsmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today."

This podcast System of Systems, the audio misinformation arm of Safety Propaganda, is hosted by writer/artist Adam Lehrer and artist Matthew Denicola. Conform – it's pervasive. A virus. A pandemic. How can we inoculate against it?
