"Takes you out of the dream, takes you out of the passion, takes you out of the sense of certainty. And just leaves you so for lack of a better word, it's spec tutorial cock blocking, you know? Like that's the goodwill hallmark. He's the greatest ever at it. And he's a real surrealist, you know? Like he has the member jacket. So if you see a lot of these other people is trickle down surrealists, they're all answerable in a way to bidwell, who's the greatest of all time. And yeah, I think there's a little bit of him in this movie. So that's a big compliment for me. Yeah, there is. I thought of discreet charm of the bourgeoisie and even Virginia, like movies that when you're watching them, you're constantly asking yourself, what is going on here? Like, you can never really get settled in your seat as you endure them, even if they're long or the pace is somewhat slower. So I think that's very clear. And then I mentioned Albert Brooks and we both cited a couple of Albert Brooks films. You cited defending your life. I think for very obvious, almost one to one textual reasons, which is we don't spoil. And I cited lost in America because there is a kind of, I think the lie of contemporary happiness seems to be a big focus of Ari's and is certainly a big focus about what Brooks and exploring what it means truly be free of all of the shackles of our convenient life. So, and you know, I think that I think 1980s Martin Scorsese is a very reasonable comp for a lot of what this movie is trying to do. This sense of paranoia and frustration, but also everything is kind of hilariously dark. You know, the king of comedy and after hours probably the two best examples of this from Scorsese, but you know, it's all over all of his movies. So it's nice to watch him publicly celebrate Ari's movies because you can see that he has a sense of communion with him. Yeah, one of the things I love about Scorsese is cinephilia and not just the directors who I think you see some of them self in, but you know, when I hear him talking on a podcast or whatever it was with Joanna hogg, who is not a Scorsese and filmmaker, you know, really at all. We're here and talk about other directors. She really actually means it. He doesn't have to do this. You know, he doesn't have to. He's given it the office now for a long time. And the fact that he's still so determined to help pull up all these filmmakers, I think, is the sweetest compliment that you could pay him almost on top of the great movies that he's made. I mean, he's a wonderful advocate. It's really just nice. You're a wonderful advocate for film Adam. Thank you so much for chatting with me. No, apparently I hate everything. This is the problem. I can't tell who's right, whether it's two people on the Internet or you. Mean podcast guy returns. What's the next movie you want to talk about on this podcast? Well, I don't know. I mean, there's a potentially interesting movie coming out of my home country soon that might be worth that might be worth being part of the big picture. The biggest movie ever come out of Waterloo, which also fits into that corporate origin myth. Cycle of movies coming out, we can maybe talk about BlackBerry. Sounds like she joined me for a BlackBerry pod. That sounds fun. But we also got to see what's coming out. There's so many great movies on the horizon like and now I have no notes for anything. Oppenheimer, Oppenheimer.

"Tooth is voices. You heard singing belong to the leads. Adam driver and marion cotillard. He plays a stand up comedian. She plays an opera singer. They fall in love and then fall from grace in ways that recall countless tragic showbiz romances like a star is born and that is an intensely sad movie with the performance from driver that goes deeper and darker than anything he's ever done. It's also one of several movies and cam this year. That focus on the inner lives of artists. Both fictional and non fictional one of the best of these is the velvet underground taught hanes richly immersive documentary about the legendary rock band. And its roots in the sixties.

Another artist story is drive. My car in exquisite slow burn of a movie from the japanese filmmaker yusuke hamaguchi. It follows a grieving theater director. Who finds a powerful solace in his many hours behind the wheel. This movie expanded from a macabre. Short story has a novelist richness. That pulls you in it runs nearly three hours and earns every single minute rather shorter and similarly involving is the charming romantic fable bergman island from the french writer director. Mia hanson love. It starts vicky creeps. And tim roth as a filmmaking. Couple who visit the tiny swedish island were master director. Ingmar bergman wants made his home. What begins as playful riff on bergman's cinematic legacy gradually morse into a sly and moving story about a woman.

Swinton burn gives a superb performance as hogs alter-ego who's reeling from personal tragedy and trying to figure out how to turn that painful experience into art but unlike most of the sequels the movie industry regularly cranks out.

"It becomes really immersive To the extent that you really sort of feel like you know this character julie Who's played by honor. swinton burn. Whose tilt his daughter until there's also in the movie it's one of till does i think four movies at the festival this year And i think that part to for my taste maybe gets a little too naval gazing at points compared to because the first one is feels more universal than the second one is very much more specifically about hogs like even though there is all that stuff you can extrapolate about making art But it's still really powerful. And i mean she it. The filmmaking is gorgeous. And you know i i. I left the experience of seeing sort of floating. And i decided not to listen to a podcast on my walk but to listen to music and i sort of you know i felt sort of inspired i guess i i wanted to make something or at least feel that feeling prolonged so. I think that that is a movie. doing job. Well yeah any Any stand up performances in there. Well i mean soldiers in is not in it much. But she's terrific. I mean she's playing this. You know sort of wealthy country woman who Is very kind with her daughter. Not in not in a sort of stereotypically stern british way. But has that sort of you know not stiff but like medium soft operative You know and and she's just so good writing that it you know we we've seen tilda swinton be kind of wild and weird and and this is a much more buttoned up role. She she kind of inhabited just as well honor. Swinburne is is really persuasive in this role. I've been the only thing. I've seen her in so i'll be curious to see her. Do other things. A couple of other actors pop up harris dickinson from be transcendent number of other things. Briefly and joe allen of Billy lynn's half long time walk in the favorite is also in there. And they're both released on evermore and taylor swift. Yes exactly you know. And and and honest wouldn't bernie's really the the focus of the film and these characters these other performances kind of come and go but they all work really well together to create this very credible world. it it really feels like you know i. I don't know if joanna hogg is just really good at remembering people in moments in her life. I can't remember what happened last week. But or she's just pretending she can but it all feels incredibly textured and real and It just makes for a film watching experience that While she's not doing a ton of fancy you know be inventive camerawork or anything. So noticeable the whole of it really feels like very singular and like she's kind of inventing or at least you know is one of the few practitioners of a particular kind of film grammar Well next week. We'll talk again and we'll have a lot more titles to talk about including the french dispatch which i think is probably the biggest of the american movies that will be there. Yeah yeah i mean especially because it was supposed to be the festival last year so when all right we got finally see this thing. Yeah but so. I'd to close this out just like how has experienced actually being there. Ben like you say whether or not we should have the festivals and open question. I know everyone spitting into tubes. You had to like bring pound of paperwork with you to get across the border now that you're actually there. How does it feel. Yeah i mean. I i say that i'm gonna have dispatched from france about the french dispatch. Katie i don't know if i will because the process of getting into the movies is so far kind of aster will So they set up so basically a normal years you you line up with your badge in different colored badges getting different lines in certain badges getting into the theater earlier. It's a frustrating process but it it just is the can process and this year. They've decided because they're understandably they want to reduce crowding and lines so in so in addition to having your badge you also have to go onto a website and two days out so you try to get tickets for a movie two days hands you know You have to go at seven. Am on this website and try to reserve your tickets both for press performances and for public performances. And the problem is the website doesn't work or it hasn't so far. Wow so malfunctioning. Websites like the new york elections. Now can what's next. Yeah exactly so. I've had a bit of a freak out being like i m. i flew all the way here. Documentation i'm spitting into tubes and like. Am i even gonna get to see that many movies. You know i will i you know. I'm getting into some things but it's I'm just worried that with a movie. Like for instance patch the websites. Going gonna crash again because everyone's going to be trying to get on a seventy two to get their tickets But you know. I have to have faith in the process. I'm very fortunate to be here all day. The other thing. that's you know i. It is interesting that the festival normally in may which is before. The high season for french riviera travel begins. And i don't know that they're going to have at high season in a traditional way this year because of covid and everything and you know especially because british tourists are not really able to be here and they make up a huge volume of people visiting this part of the world So does feel the festival feel smaller. And yet i mean seeing camp town as more of that kind of vacation like i don't see you know tons of people with badges and tuxedos running around. It's more just like regular tourists. Yeah and so. It's hard to kind of get a distinct sense of how the festival mood is beyond stress about ticketing process and all that stuff So yeah i i. I don't know i. I think i'll have more to say probably next week about whether this was all some grand folly or if it kind of worked out in the end i mean can does have a good way of sort of like you know having a rough start and then kind of eking out a win A hardee's you'll be like rubbing elbows with other film people for the first time in so long like that's that has to count for something. Yeah i mean the party scene is interesting because that's some of my mandate to be here as sort of to some extent like figure cover the nightlife to just to get a sense of what what the whole experience is and. I have been trying to do that. But like it's more like oh. We're having a discreet little reception after this premier. It's not like come to this beach club and have come to a huge blowout party with the dj. you know. so so everything just feels a little more muted. Which is you know. Definitely the best course of action. We're know we're still very much in the covid moment so like i. I understand the caution and and it is appreciated ultimately but like i would say thus far this feels like a kind of hotter. Can you know like it's it it. The selection of movies is great. The holistic experience is different. In a way. I mean i i do feel in some ways like this is my first time at this festival. Even though it's technically my seventh. Yeah i mean that might have happened just for you know. After such a long time you know learning street yeah. Did you know that people speak french here. Like scared me off man. I am having a weird. Like i live in new york city. I hear different languages all the time. But i look. I don't have to rely on my communication skills outside of english very often and just having gone a long time without a full two years since being in france like i am really just tumbling said i have said gracia's to people bon giorno thrown out everything and they you know understandably end totally justifiably. Don't seem to appreciate it. Do they know how hard you work to get there though. Like you really You jump through those hurdles to get outta this dang country. Yeah i don't know because they know the the french government Current and i think the eu government It doesn't currently does not Recognize us vaccination certification. Because all we have is these you know we have our state..
