The Movie Homework Podcast
Welcome to the 44th installment of Movie Homework! Looking for an antidote for Oscar-season, we’ve got you covered, since we didn’t watch them and don’t really have an opinion! But we did watch two films we didn’t like! Mariam watched Peter Bogdonavich’s The Thing Called Love, a drama set in the country-music world in Nashville starring Samatha Mathis, River Phoenix and Deremont Mulroney.Meanwhile Ari saw the Swedish action thriller Hamilton - I nationens intresse, which follows a Swedish James Bond-type played by Mikael Persbrandt, which has some elements that are deeply troubling…
Ari’s choice this week is the documentary Overnight, which deals with the rise and fall of Troy Duffy, the director of Boondock Saints. Filmed by two of friends who were there from the beginning, when Duffy had a one-in-a-million deal with Miramax pictures. When that falls through they continue to film, and have to deal with Duffy’s bloated ego.
Mariam’s pick this week is Lars von Trier’s Melancholia. Ari has previously had a problematic relationship with the director, but Mariam thought that this might work better. Will she be right?
