Can I ask why you guys haven’t done an episode about THE MASTER? And are you planning one on LINCOLN? I’m don’t mean this as a complaint, but rather as a hopeful query. Thank you and good day.
Episodes devoted to a single film aren’t generally something we do, with the exception of Christopher Nolan films, which is a fun thing we get to do with Pat Francis.
– David
Well, fine. On another topic entirely, maybe you guys should do an episode focused on the topic of THE MASTER and LINCOLN and how good or bad you think they are. It could be called STEVEN SPIELBERG AND PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON: THE MOVIES THEY RELEASED THIS YEAR.
I’m sure they’ll get the chance to discuss those films when its time for their year in review.
Also from the sound of things, Tyler will be covering The Master in a future More than One Lesson.
I will be on the lookout for that.
My picks:
Wings of Desire– Berlin during the end of the Cold War.
In Bruges– Bruges
Trainspotting — Scotland
Lost in Translation– Tokyo
Chungking Express — Hong Kong
I love those picks I was actually gonna mention some of those!
I really liked this episode and I agree, nobody shoots Italy like Fellini. And he can show different sides of the same city. Also Antonioni makes Milano look really beautiful, even the industrial part, his movies are just stunning.
About Vegas (not that I’ve been there), but I like Showgirls (1995) 😉 and 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) very much feels like being out there in space 😀
Wow Tyler, sorry Boston aired its dirty laundry in front of you! I was SO glad I didn’t see Gone Baby Gone before I moved here. The suburbs are lovely, I assure you 🙂
