PODCAST| David Martos interviews Judi Dench, actress of the film Red Joan.

We discuss with Judy Dench about how she likes her directors, getting new roles at her age and the possibility of retirement, that she heavily denies.

Red Joan: In a picturesque village in England, Joan Stanley, lives in contented retirement. Her tranquil existence is shockingly shattered as she’s arrested by MI5. For Joan has been hiding an incredible past; she is one of the most influential spies in living history… Cambridge University in the 1930s, and the young Joan, a demure physics student, falls intensely in love with a seductively attractive Russian saboteur, Leo. Through him, she begins to see that the world is on a knife-edge and perhaps must be saved from itself in the race to military supremacy. Post-war and now working at a top secret nuclear research facility, Joan is confronted with the impossible: would you betray your country and your loved ones, if it meant saving them? What price would you pay for peace?

PODCAST| Chiara Nicoletti interviews Wim Wenders, director of the film Pope Francis – A Man of His Word.

After presenting it at the 71st Festival de Cannes as a special screening, director Wim Wenders landed in Rome to present to the Italian audience his Pope Francis – A Man of His Word, his latest documentary which is described as a personal journey with Pope Francis, rather than a biographical documentary.

PODCAST| Angelo Acerbi interviews Victor Kossakovsky, director of the film Aquarela.

Victor Kossakovsky still cannot believe to have been able to make such a film: difficult shooting condition, exhausting technical problems and dangerous situations his young crew solved stubbornly every time, with the urgency of knowing the unicity of the film they were shooting. Specific shooting choices are explained by Kossakovsky here in this talk at the Venice Film Festival.

Aquarela takes audiences on a deeply cinematic journey through the transformative beauty and raw power of water. Filmed at 96 frames-persecond, the film is a visceral wake-up call that humans are no match for the sheer force and capricious will of Earth’s most precious element. From the precarious frozen waters of Russia’s Lake Baikal to Miami in the throes of Hurricane Irma to Venezuela’s mighty Angel Falls, water is Aquarela’s main character, with director Victor Kossakovsky capturing her many personalities in startling visual detail.

PODCAST| David Martos interviews Jeanne Boudier, actress of the film Deslembro.

We talked to actress Jeanne Boudier about playing her first role under the direction of Flávia Castro and telling a story about a Brazil that she didn’t know.

Deslembro: Joana, a teenager, feeds her soul with literature and rock. In 1979, when amnesty is granted in Brazil, she lives with her family in Paris. Overnight and against her will, Joana moves back to the country she barely remembers. In the early 1980s, in Rio de Janeiro, the city she was born in and where her father has forcedly disappeared, she recovers pieces of memory from a fragmented childhood. Not everything is real, not everything is imagination. And as she remembers, Joana is able to write her own story in the present tense.
