The new episode The Chronicle, the official Podcast for The Peoples Movies is now here, episode 021. For this episode its a BFI London Film Festival special with reviews of Killers Of A Flower Moon, Poor Things and All Of Us Are Strangers.
We deliberately delayed the new episode, as we now have a co-host joining myself, Clotilde Chinnici. A big hello welcome to Clotilde who writes for various websites as well as The Peoples Movies.
The first film we reviewed is Martin Scorsese Killers Of The Flower Moon which is now in UK and Irish cinemas. An Epic crime drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone and Robert DeNiro. Based around the real life murders of Osage people across Oklahoma, USA in the 1920s. Following Ernest Burkhart (DiCaprio) a man torn apart with his romance with Mollie (Lily Gladstone) and with William Hale (Robert DeNiro) his uncle, who has plans for the land the oil flourishes.
Yorgos Lanthimos Poor Things starring Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo was next up. Based on the Alasdair Gray book of the same name. The incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman seduced by what lies await for outside, the home of the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Dafoe) who brought back to life. Bella wants to learn, and runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the world.
Finally we review Andrew Haigh‘s All Of Us Are Strangers starring Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal. Set in London, Adam (Scott) has a chance encounter with his neighbour Harry (Mescal). Slowly the relationship develops into something romantic memories drag Adam back to his childhood home where his parents seem to be living, despite dying 3 decades ago.
Clotilde rounds off the episode with a round up of the best of the rest of the Festival.
