Is Timothée Chalamet searching for Oscar gold with ‘A Complete Unknown’? 🔎⁠
⁠
With the announcement of an upcoming biopic on Bob Dylan back in 2022, featuring Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, and Timothée Chalamet in another starring role following Dune: Part Two and Wonka, next month’s A Complete Unknown looks destined for box office success and likely to grab the Academy’s attention. ⁠
⁠
Chalamet’s performance is impressive enough, capturing Dylan’s nasal pitch perfectly and adopting his guarded charisma with studious attention. The problem is there’s a whiff of the ‘authorised’ about A Complete Unknown. 👀⁠

A frustrating reality 😬🎬

Despite being one of the greatest filmmakers working today, Martin Scorsese's cinamatic world is very narrow, which prevents many actors from working with him.

Method acting isn't for everyone, but there are certain times where it benefits absolutely nobody or nothing apart from an actor's ego.

The British Independent Film Awards 2024 ceremony is in the books, and there was one big winner on the night: Kneecap, the Irish comedy biopic of the real-life hip-hop trio.

Writer and director Rich Peppiatt’s debut feature film landed a whopping seven awards, including ‘Best British Independent Film’, ‘Best Debut Screenwriter’, and ‘Best Joint Performance’ for the three leads Liam Óg Ó Hannaidh (Mo Chara), Naoise Ó Cairealláin (Moglai Bap), and JJ Ó Dochartaigh (DJ Próvai).

In a red carpet interview with the BBC, Moglai Bap theorised about why the story of his band, who rap in the Irish language, has resonated with so many people. He said, “There’s a lot of people who suffered under imperialism and colonialism, and a lot of people see themselves in the story of it. Minority languages, minority cultures getting their shake at the stake.”

Bandmate Mo Chara agreed wholeheartedly, revealing, “We thought it was a film about the Irish language, but languages that have been oppressed is an international story and a lot of people related to it.”

Peppiatt admitted that when he first met the band, he doubted the movie’s potential to be a big hit. However, he couldn’t deny the charisma of the band, nor the importance of what they represent. He said, “They weren’t signed and rapping in a language not many people spoke. It didn’t really scream, you know, big movie potential, but there was something that just connected. Their approach to promoting indigenous language and culture was something that I just thought was a really important message.”

Female filmmakers have historically struggled to receive the same opportunities and levels of acceptance as their male counterparts. Despite more female directors emerging now than ever before, there is still a significant gender imbalance, which Booksmart’s Olivia Wilde has recently noted.⁠
⁠
The filmmaker began her career as an actor in the early 2000s, appearing on popular television shows like The O.C. and House. Wilde then began starring in popular movies, too, including Tron: Legacy and Her, before eventually making her directorial debut, Booksmart, in 2019.⁠
⁠
The movie was well-received, quickly cementing itself as a popular coming-of-age comedy-drama. Her next film, Don’t Worry Darling, starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, emerged in 2022. While it wasn’t as revered as her debut, the film was still a commercial success, grossing $87.6 million.⁠
⁠
While Wilde’s filmmaking career is still just beginning, she has been carving a name for herself in the industry for over two decades. The multi-talented star spoke about the difficulties women face when trying to enter the film industry during a recent panel at the Red Sea International Film Festival. She explained: “For many young women, when we love movies, as little girls, we’re told you should be an actress.”⁠
⁠
However, for men, the story is a lot different. “When little boys say they love movies, people say, ‘You should be a director’,” she said.⁠
⁠
“In acting, it’s the only job where the more experience you get, the less valuable you become – certainly for actresses,” Wilde added, “I want to become celebrated for my experience, as opposed to some sort of value placed on something that is inherently fleeting.”⁠
⁠
A study of 2023’s 250 highest-grossing films conducted by San Diego State University’s Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film discovered that just 16 per cent of the directors behind these movies were women.
