22 JAN 2024 · “Life isn't like in the movies. Life... is much harder.” Talking About Cinema Paradiso with our guest, Special Effects Supervisor Chris ReynoldsIn this magical episode, we chat with veteran special effects artist and supervisor Chris Reynolds about his storied career bringing movies to life through innovative engineering and technology. Our focus is the classic Cinema Paradiso, a nostalgic ode to the glory days of cinema that inspired Chris from an early age.Chris has built an impressive 40-year career in special effects, rising from technician to supervisor. He regales us with tales of his early days at the BBC, where he cut his teeth on classics like Blackadder. From blowing up haggis to sculpting giant lips, Chris learned to create imaginative practical effects on the fly across every genre. His passion for storytelling shines through as he discusses favorite projects, including some he worked on like Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams, and others he didn't, like Battle of Britain.Turning to Cinema Paradiso, we unpack the magic of this film that celebrates the power of cinema to transport us. We all agree the performances are fantastic, especially Salvatore Cascio as the young Toto. And Ennio Morricone’s iconic score ties it all together. The ending montage of kisses cut by the priest is pure movie magic. Chris gives the inside scoop on the fire sequence, rating its mixed effectiveness from a special effects supervisor's perspective. He also shares which version he prefers between the Director’s Cut and the international release.Overall, Cinema Paradiso captures a sense of childlike wonder and nostalgia for the romanticism of old Hollywood. Chris gives us an insider’s view into the art and craft of moviemaking.

18 DEC 2023 · “You may think you know what you’re dealing with, but you don’t. Believe me.”Talking About Chinatown with our guest, Cinematographer Erik MesserschmidtRoman Polanski's 1974 neo-noir Chinatown is regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. In this episode, we're joined by Academy Award-winning cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt to discuss this masterpiece of cinema. We start by talking to Erik about his passion for filmmaking and what led him to a career in cinematography. He shares how he was drawn to the camaraderie and creative collaboration of working on set. Over time he realized the cinematographer role allowed him to blend his interests in art, science, and technology. When it comes to Chinatown, Erik praises the elegant camerawork and seamless visual storytelling. Polanski uses the camera deliberately, guiding the audience through clues and reveals without excessive dialogue. The mystery unfolds through precise editing and minimalist framing. We also discuss the phenomenal performances and how Polanski pulls back at key moments to ground the major plot turns. Chatting with Erik gave us a new appreciation for the nuance and artistry of Chinatown. It's a masterclass in subtle visual storytelling that inspired generations of filmmakers. Roman Polanski's direction and Robert Towne's script form a potent combination. We highly recommend revisiting this neo-noir gem.ff Film Sundries - https://www.instagram.com/emesserschmidt - Watch this on https://tv.apple.com/movie/chinatown/umc.cmc.2fu6smvsot08y0ebs5gatspfb?itsct=tv_box_link&itscg=30200&at=11lrTo&ct=tnr-watch or https://www.amazon.com/Chinatown-4K-UHD-Faye-Dunaway/dp/B07RYLPGQ7/?tag=trustory-tnr-20, or find other places at https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/chinatown - https://www.public.asu.edu/~srbeatty/394/Chinatown.pdf - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T37QkBc4IGY - https://letterboxd.com/film/chinatown/ Find source material for The Next Reel’s family of podcasts – and thousands of other great reads – at https://www.audible.com/ep/creator?source_code=PDTGBPD060314004R&irclickid=QeVXe2RMrxyPW5KXwczBxX02UkH0xNysvxRw3c0&irgwc=1Learn more about https://thenextreel.com/coda and how it can work for you!We spend hours every week putting our shows together for you, our dear listener, and it would sure mean a lot to us if you considered becoming a member.

23 OCT 2023 · “I think I could turn into you if I really tried.”Talking About Persona with our guest, writer/director Sophie BarthesOn this episode of Movies We Like, we speak with writer/director Sophie Barthes about one of her favorite films, Ingmar Bergman’s 1966 psychological drama Persona. We also discussed Barthes' own directing career and thoughts on filmmaking.We have an in-depth discussion about Bergman's avant-garde masterpiece Persona, analyzing its dreamlike atmosphere, innovative editing and cinematography, complex characters and themes of identity and psychology. We talk about how the film's shocking opening montage and sparse narrative puts the viewer in an unsettled state of mind. Overall, we find Persona to be an endlessly discussable classic that still feels fresh and boundary-pushing today. We also speak with Barthes about her three feature films - Cold Souls, Madame Bovary, and The Pod Generation. Barthes explains how she often explores themes of consumerism, psychology and identity through different genres and time periods. She shared insights into her creative process, from conceptualizing stories based on her dreams to her highly-stylized production design. Barthes also discussed the challenges of portraying human truths and darkness as a director today versus Bergman's time. Barthes gives thoughtful perspective as both a director and film lover. Her pick certainly leads to a rich discussion about cinematic art today as Persona proves to be a multilayered classic ripe for analysis.

28 AUG 2023 · “Any vampires around these parts, Pa?”Talking About The Reflecting Skin with our guest, storyboard and concept artist Anson JewThere’s a lot going on in this story of childhood. It’s a story about vampirism and nuclear devastation. It’s about a town’s secrets and the perspective of children. Homosexuality in a time when it was far from being accepted. Dealing with loss. Growing old. Finding love. Writer/director Philip Ridley not only crafted a gorgeous film that’s alive from start to finish, but he crafted a story about childhood that captures all the strangeness and complexity we should expect and want in a story about a kid making his way in the world. Storyboard and concept artist Anson Jew joins us to talk about this film, which has stuck with him since he first saw it. It’s a fantastic film and one certainly worth discussing. We have a great time talking with Anson about it, so check it out then tune in.  Join the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on https://discord.gg/yW72E6M!
