On a woodsy episode of a new podcast, co-hosts Clementine Ford, Vincenzo Barney, and Christian Lorentzen review Train Dreams, a film by Clint Bentley adapted from the 2011 novella by Denis Johnson. Topics discussed include: modernity; time; fire; murder; subtext; Terrence Malick; The Big Lebowski; lumberjacks; logging; timber; the superiority of the theatrical cinematic experience when it comes to films largely consisting of majestic shots of forests; bridge construction; locomotives; hybrids of humans and wolves; whether a dog can shoot a human with a gun; Cormac McCarthy; stylistic dilution; Jesus’ Son; Isaac Babel; clouds; highways; Joel Edgerton; Felicity Jones; Hollywood’s strange reliance on British and Australian actors for the portrayal of old-timey Americans; cosmic retribution; deforestation; William H. Macy; racial violence as America’s original sin; hummingbirds; hillsides; television; the happiness of lying in the grass with your spouse after a long day’s work; and much more. Thank you for listening.
