    Felicia is joined by Geoff Thomas to discuss the effects of capitalism on an old man and his dog in Vittorio De Sica’s Umberto D. (1952). We chat about this film as a bridge between De Sica’s as a neo-realist filmmaker and his move towards comedies.

    056 - Miracle in Milan (Vittorio De Sica 1951) w/ Bryan and Hannah Loomis (What a Picture Podcast)

    Felicia is joined by Bryan and Hannah Loomis to discuss a film about hope and making the most out of the life you’ve been given in Vittorio De Sica’s Miracle in Milan (1951). We chat about De Sica and Zavattani’s (his long time writing partner) communist ideals and how they translate to the importance of community and choosing your own family. Along with the mix of realism and fantasy to create a story that leaves the viewer feeling hopeful. This is the series two opening film and I think this is the perfect example of how layered De Sica’s work often was, and how he could easily blend comedy and drama.

    055 - The Piano Teacher (Michael Haneke 2001) w/ Jeanmarie Vargas

    Felicia is joined by Jeanmarie Vargas to discuss Michael Haneke’s film about a woman just trying to live out her sexual fantasies in The Piano Teacher (2001). We chat about Haneke’s shift in the 2000s to create more films focused on women and their struggles. Along with the importance of diegetic music as it relates to pushing the story forward. This marks the end of the Haneke series, it was a pleasure (even when it was a displeasure) to revisit his films and watch them through multiple new lenses. He’s such a layered artist whose work will always remain relevant and I hope my guests and I have inspired you to watch more of his work (or maybe it’s time for a rewatch).
