    We are joined by special guest Alex Heeney, the founder and editor in chief of Seventh Row, to dive into Luca Guadagnino's 2017 coming-of-age masterpiece, Call Me By Your Name.

    24 DE AGO.

    108. Chantal Akerman: News from Home & No Home Movie

    We continue our series on Akerman with a double-bill of personal documentaries about her mother, and of home. News from Home immediately follows her seminal Jeanne Dielman, and No Home Movie is the final film of Akerman’s filmography. In this episode, we thread the throughline across Akerman’s career in comparing both films, see the influence of structural and slow cinema, and marvel at her capacity for personal artmaking.

    11 DE AGO.

    107. Chantal Akerman: Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles

    It’s about time. We tackle Chantal Akerman’s Sight and Sound topping Jeanne Dielman, and begin our series on her singular career. Ben introduces Akerman’s career, spotlighting her fierce conviction and crystalline vision, Eli loops in a melodramatic reading, and Wilson zeroes in on an ending that explosively caps off a 3.5h opus. And if you’re struggling with how to approach this film, as entertainment or as art, just remember: it’s about time.

    106. Pablo Larrain: Maria

    After a rocky relationship between Deep Cut and Mr. Pablo Larrain, we come back to the final film in Larrain’s “important 20th century white women” trilogy (as Ben describes it). Will Larrain redeem himself with a portrait of the final days of Maria Callas’ life? Or will he and Stephen Knight sh*t the bed again? Wilson praises Angelina Jolie’s comeback performance, Ben praises how pretty the film is, and Eli praises the prop glasses, but is all that enough to get the film over the line? Listen to find out.  Links: Thomas Flight: Do Musical Biopics Have a Fatal Flaw?

Eli chats about the narrative motifs that are on display in this film, Wilson tries to unlock the secret of Hong’s use of zooms, and Ben contends with the slimy protagonist of this film.  Singaporean listeners to Deep Cut you can catch Night and Day on July 13th at the Oldham Theatre.

    104. Hong Sang-soo: Woman on the Beach

    Deep Cut partners with Asian Film Archive which is presenting Twin Tales: Éric Rohmer and Hong Sang-soo, a special programme featuring six pairings of films by French New Wave director Éric Rohmer and prolific Korean filmmaker Hong Sang-soo. Buy tickets here! We’ve teased this for YEARS! And it’s finally here. The DC Trio break the ice by introducing notorious Korean director Hong Sang-soo to the canon by talking about a 2006 deep cut, Woman on the Beach. We talk about the pairing with Rohmer’s The Green Ray (our ep. 24), discuss why this feels odd in Hong’s filmography, and debate on what shape this movie looks like.

    19 DE JUN.

    103. Luca Guadagnino: Queer

    I want to podcast with you. Without speaking. On this episode of Deep Cut Upkeep we step into 1950s Mexico City and dive into the lush world of Luca Guadagnino’s Queer. Wilson expands more on his love for the film and why it topped his 2024 film list. Eli talks about the narrative constraints of this (bio)pic about William S. Burroughs. Ben draws links between Queer and Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Together, we talk about performance, Guadagnino’s eye for style, debate that Ayahuasca sequence, and end the episode with a quick round of Luca Guadagnino power rankings.  Links: Natalie’s letterboxd review of Queer NYFF panel of Queer  Take a TRIP to our free patreon, discord server, and our socials @ www.deepcutpod.com Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:50 General reactions 08:26 Spoiler warning 09:31 Production context 12:50 Narrative structure 16:30 Craig's performance as Lee 19:12 Blocking and eyelines 21:03 First meeting between Lee and Allerton 25:09 Act 2 27:35 Yagé 29:28 The relationship 36:40 Comparison with In The Mood for Love 40:32 The trip 47:15 The ending 50:55 Comparison to other Guadagnino 58:33 Outro

  8. 102. Kelly Reichardt: Meek’s Cutoff

    8 DE JUN.

    102. Kelly Reichardt: Meek’s Cutoff

    As voted for on our Patreon, we return to Kelly Reichardt with her 2010 Western, Meek’s Cutoff.  Ben argues that no discussion of the American Western is complete without Reichardt’s film, Wilson highlights the film’s fraught production that miraculously led to its poetic ending, and Eli frames the film within the larger context of America’s problematic Manifest Destiny.  We get serious, analytical and near-academic with Reichardt’s masterwork… all the way until you hear us try on our best impressions of Bruce Greenwood’s Stephen Meek as Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.
