October 22, 2019 Edward Norton, Gugu Mbatha Raw – Motherless Brooklyn #RomaFF14
PODCAST | Chiara Nicoletti interviews Edward Norton and Gugu Mbatha Raw, director/actor and actress of the film Motherless Brooklyn.
20 years after his debut feature, Keeping the faith, Edward Norton presents his second film as a director at the 14th Rome Film Fest: Motherless Brooklyn. Set in the 50’s New York, Norton plays Lionel Essrog, a private investigator trying to solve the mistery behind his mentor’s omicide. With Gugu Mbatha Raw, who in the film plays Laura Rose, the activist Lionel falls in love with, Norton comments on his film being a noir but also a coming of age story as it depicts the moment in which both protagonists realise their heroes are human beings with their defects and flaws. “We all got our daily battles” Laura Rose tells Lionel and this sounds like an epiphany that helps him grow up and face life differently. Motherless Brooklyn is very actual though set in the 50’s and it explores the concept of power and how it works.
Motherless Brooklyn: Lionel Essrog (Edward Norton), a lonely private detective living with Tourette Syndrome, ventures to solve the murder of his mentor and only friend, Frank Minna (Bruce Willis). Armed only with a few clues and the engine of his obsessive mind, Lionel unravels closely guarded secrets that hold the fate of New York in the balance. In a mystery that carries him from gin-soaked jazz clubs in Harlem to the hard-edged slums of Brooklyn and, finally, into the gilded halls of New York’s power brokers, Lionel contends with thugs, corruption and the most dangerous man in the city to honor his friend and save the woman who might be his own salvation.

October 22, 2019 Bret Easton Ellis #RomaFF14
PODCAST | David Martos interviews the author and scriptwriter, Bret Easton Ellis.
Easton Ellis is one of the most provocative voices in the American landscape. Author of American Phsyco, he’s very outspoken against the Woke Culture and political correctness in Twitter. He attacks the ‘corporate culture’ installed in audiovisual industry and the domination of Disney.
White is Bret Easton Ellis’s first work of nonfiction. Already the bad boy of American literature, from Less Than Zero to American Psycho, Ellis has also earned the wrath of right-thinking people everywhere with his provocations on social media, and here he escalates his admonishment of received truths as expressed by today’s version of “the left.” Eschewing convention, he embraces views that will make many in literary and media communities cringe, as he takes aim at the relentless anti-Trump fixation, coastal elites, corporate censorship, Hollywood, identity politics, Generation Wuss, “woke” cultural watchdogs…

October 22, 2019 André Orvedal – Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark #RomaFF14
PODCAST | Angelo Acerbi interviews André Orvedal, director of the film Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
André Orvedal was a passionate viewer of “young horror” films (Stand By me and the Goonies on top), if there is such a genre. Here is where his chat with Angelo Acerbi starts and it goes to the good fearful films (no blood but stories that connect with the audience and the process of creation).
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: The year is 1968 in the United States, and the winds of change are blowing strong, while far from the uprisings of the major urban centres lies the town of Mill Valley, over which the Bellows family has for generations cast its long shadow: in their house, located on the edges of the city, Sarah, a girl who conceals terrible secrets, has transformed her tormented existence into a series of scary stories, written in a book that has reached beyond the boundaries of time, stories that become all-too realistic for a group of young people who, on the night of Halloween, delve into Sarah’s terrifying case, to solve the mystery that surrounds several macabre deaths that have taken place in their town.

Sunburned: Claire is on vacation with her sister Zoe and la mum Sophie at a resort in southern Spain. Abandoned by the family, Claire befriends Amram, a young street vendor of origin Senegal. With the deepening of their friendship, Claire tries to help him but accidentally ends up to exacerbate his already difficult situation. When the family organizes a trip to Morocco across the Strait of Gibraltar, Claire hides Amram in the cabin of their boat hoping desperately to have done the right thing.

October 21, 2019 Alicia Vikander – Earthquake Bird #LFF2019
PODCAST | Sarah Bradbury interviews Alicia Vikander, actress of the film Earthquake Bird.
We hit the red carpet for the premiere of Earthquake Bird at the BFI London Film Festival. Lead actress Alicia Vikander told us why she wanted to play the role in the 1989 Japan-set film and her experience of preparing for playing the cello and speaking Japanese. Director Wash Westmoreland told us what inspired him to tell the story while actor Naoki Kobayashi explained why he wanted to be involved.
Earthquake Bird: Lucy (Vikander) is a buttoned-up, MUJI-clad translator who has been in Japan for five years and is desperate to blend in. Her reticent nature hides old scars. There’s also the fact that people around her keep dying – accidentally or otherwise. After a street encounter with hot photographer Teiji (Naoki Kobayashi), she quickly finds herself under his spell, despite all the warning signs. And the pot is stirred further when American nurse Lily (Riley Keough) – all blowsy sexual confidence and cultural naïvety – arrives in town and Lucy experiences some frightening impulses. Wash Westmoreland (Colette) has crafted a moody and intriguing update on 1980s psycho-sexual thrillers, shifting the emphasis onto the psychology of the female protagonist. Alicia Vikander is astonishing in a role that explores cultural fascination, belonging and obsession.

October 21, 2019 Rian Johnson – Knives Out #LFF2019
PODCAST | Angelo Acerbi interviews Rian Johnson, director of the film Knives Out.
On the red carpet for the gala premiere, Rian Johnson talks about his passion for whodunit tales and Agatha Christie and the pleasure of directing such a diverse and impressive cast.
Knives Out: Murder mystery novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is a veritable one-man crime-fiction industry and his adult children – and their children – have been living off him for years. When he turns up dead, the apparent victim of a murder, it seems that no-one has a motive for killing the golden goose. At least, that’s what the detectives assigned to the case think. But Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) – the debonair ‘Kentucky-fried’ private investigator mysteriously hired by an anonymous source – has other ideas.

October 21, 2019 Ram Bergman – Knives Out #LFF2019
PODCAST | Angelo Acerbi interviews Ram Bergman, producer of the film Knives Out.
Ram Bergman has been producing Rian Johnson’s films, since the beginning. Growing in budgets and in cast, every movie presents the same challenge, and the joy and the stays the same. Here the major issue has been coordinating all the actors schedule, that with a cast of 9 lead characters was not exactly a piece of cake…

October 21, 2019 Sally Hawkins – Eternal Beauty #LFF2019
PODCAST | Sarah Bradbury interviews Sally Hawkins, actress of the film Eternal Beauty.
We hit the red carpet for the premiere of Eternal Beauty at the 63rd BFI London Film Festival. We had the privilege of speaking to British talent, Sally Hawkins, about playing June and tackling mental health on the big screen. We also spoke to director Craig Roberts about how a person in his own life with a “superpower” inspired the story and that he wrote the script specifically with Sally in mind.
Eternal Beauty: Sally Hawkins is a schizophrenic woman coping with a hallucinatory existence in Craig Roberts’ bold, sometimes hilarious and disturbing exploration of mental illness. Jilted as a young woman on her wedding day, the outsider in a fragmented family and beset with anxieties both real and imaginary, June has a life of constant struggle. Pills offer a possible solution and her relationship with vagrant musician Mike (David Thewlis) might be another. But does the medication and even love just exacerbate June’s delusional state of mind? Following his 2015 directorial debut Just Jim, Submarine star Craig Roberts’ sophomore feature is a true high-wire act, depicting the unstable perceptions of a fragile persona with delirious colour and design across ever-shifting time frames. Sally Hawkins’ fearless performance again confirms her as one of Britain’s best, and an ace supporting cast – Alice Lowe, Billie Piper, Penelope Wilton – prove equally committed to Roberts’ singular, humane vision.
