Big Screen Book Club Joseph Kime & Clarisse Loughrey

The Big Screen Book Club is officially live and in colour.

This month we're reflecting on our first ever in-person edition of the Big Screen Book Club talking Park Chan Wook's The Handmaiden, and the book it was based on, Fingersmith by Sarah Waters, recorded from the Voicebox tent at the Cheltenham Literature Festival 2022.

We were also lucky enough to be joined by the amazing author of Harmless Like You and Starling Days, Rowan Hisayo Buchanan.

This month on the Big Screen Book Club, we tackle our first-ever memoir with Ernesto "Che" Guevara's The Motorcycle Diaries, adapted to the screen by Walter Salles! We talk American Interventionism, the seeds planted for the Communist icon, and doing a poo out of a window. We contain multitudes here on this prestigious podcast.

This month on the Big Screen Book Club, we're headed straight to the cinema for an adaptation of one of the best-selling books of all time - modern supermarket classic Where The Crawdads Sing, written by Delia Owens, and directed by Olivia Newman, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones.

We talk the beauty of the marsh, the jarring beauty of Daisy Edgar-Jones' Kya, and how the book thinks you were a fool to assume that she could be anything other than a complete psychopath.

This month on the Big Screen Book Club, we take a look at an icon of LGBTQ+ cinema - it's Carol, directed by Todd Haynes and adapted from The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith. We talk about loving love, how utterly captivating Cate Blanchett is, and how Sarah Paulson seems very willing to throw hands.

We're back!
This month on the Big Screen Book Club after our short hiatus, we're taking on the granddaddy of plays himself - William Shakespeare - in The Tragedy of Macbeth, directed by Joel Coen and starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand! We talk the inevitability of one's fate, do some cracking impressions of ravens, and discuss how Macbeth is far and away the Shakespeare play that's most tailored to goths.

This month on the Big Screen Book Club, we're taking it back to old Hollywood to tackle The Big Sleep, the ultimate Bogie and Bacall picture directed by Howard Hawks! We talk the fervent sex appeal of Howard Bogart, the power dynamics balanced by Lauren Bacall, and generally not *getting* crime novels.
