My guest this week is Cameron Tucker, Head of News and Content at KMTV. Cam and I begin by chatting about the BFI-funded series Generation Why that we both worked on in which me made sure young people from across the UK were fully represented. We find out why the series has been so transformational, and has helped us look beyond the world we know....

Flight Risk’ is a change of pace for Mel Gibson following the overblown histrionics and big budget scale of ‘Braveheart’ and ‘The Passion of the Christ’ in what is Gibson’s first directorial outing in nearly a decade. Set on a small plane that is carrying a prisoner over the Alaskan wilderness, it is effectively a B-movie outing with the same tropes familiar from ‘Con Air’ but with a much smaller budget, and starring British actress Michelle Dockery from ‘Downton Abbey’ as the US air marshal looking after a prisoner, en route to testifying against a gangster, and having to deal with a rogue pilot, played by an over-the-top Mark Wahlberg who has no intention of letting the prisoner, played by Topher Grace, get anywhere near dry land....

There is a deep poignancy to ‘Vertigo’ which was the first of three Hitchcock classics to be released in consecutive years – the others being 1959’s ‘North By Northwest’ and 1960’s ‘Psycho’ – all of which have entered the canon not just as Hitchcock’s top films but the greatest movies of all time. James Stewart is the police detective whose vertigo inadvertently leads to the death of one of his colleagues while on a rooftop chase, and when an old schoolfriend approaches him about tailing his wife, who seems to be possessed by a ghost from the previous century, Stewart’s Scottie is at first reluctant to investigate, only to find himself obsessed with the woman whose graceful and enigmatic movements across San Francisco Bay lead Scottie to abandon any sense of reason....

03/02/2025

The film that ‘Presence’ most reminded me of was Robert Zemeckis’s shlock supernatural-psychological thriller ‘What Lies Beneath’ which was made while Zemeckis was waiting for Tom Hanks to lose several stone so that he could be filmed in the second instalment of his more highbrow and awards-favourable ‘Cast Away’. Steven Soderbergh, himself no stranger to having two films out in one year (he was even up against himself in the Best Director category in 2001 for ‘Traffic’ and ‘Erin Brockovich’), made ‘Presence’ while filming another, larger canvas movie....

James Mangold has tried his hand before at undertaking a full scale music biopic. Twenty years on from ‘Walk the Line’, Johnny Cash appears again here in this impressive Bob Dylan story, though here Cash is very much a supporting character, alongside Joan Baez, in an attempt to go against the grain of what a Dylan biopic might be expected to do, namely, paint a picture of the artist as an enigma....

03/02/2025

Se7en is a fascinating film to watch from the perspective of redemption, precisely because, in the spirit of film noir, redemption would appear to be the very ingredient missing in what is an unremittingly bleak and pessimistic ambience, and no indication that a better, more coherent and fulfilling future is possible. Yet this unsettling and audacious film which put Fincher on the map has a rich theological vein running through it whereby it is precisely in terms of encounter and confrontation with the downbeat ethos that is so endemic to ‘Se7en’ that 'light’ can be thought to emanate within and through the ‘darkness’....

‘Babygirl’ is a curiously inert drama which at first sight appears to be a modern post- twist on the sort of 90s erotic thrillers that Hollywood was so adept at delivering. In those days, such films lacked a political edge – they were essentially made in a vacuum with nothing particularly consequential to say about the politics or ideology of an age....

16/01/2025

‘A Real Pain’ is a deliberate tonally inconsistent affair which draws on the third generation experience of the Holocaust to offer a sombre, poignant reflection on the way the incomprehensible past impacts on suffering in the present. Specifically, it addresses how the trials and sacrifices made by our ancestors translate into guilt in the present day over how our own relatively petty pains somehow seem less manageable than anything that took place in the death camps, and that this itself simply amplifies the pain – a real pain, indeed, to paraphrase the title – on display....
