[ENG] Exploring Telepathy as a Storytelling Device - Isadora Neves Marques Film Director Interview 15.05.2024

Today we are joined by the talented Portuguese filmmaker Isadora Neves Marques to discuss her newest "My Senses Are All I Have to Offer".

[ENG] A Chaotic Night in New York - "After Hours" (1984) - Ep. 85 17.04.2024

Today we roam the crazy streets of New York in Scorsese's "After Hours". We love the film's gradual descent into chaos, filmed through Marty's assured camera, and we are impressed by Griffin Dunne's wonderful performance.

[ENG] How Fassbinder Views Post-War Germany - "The Marriage of Maria Braun" - Ep. 84 17.04.2024

We discuss Fassbinder's "The Marriage of Maria Braun", his unique look at post-war Germany. Although we appreciate the filmmaker's perspective, we didn't entirely connect with the film's detached narrative and cynical outlook.

[PT] A Comédia Singular dos Irmãos Coen em "Burn After Reading" - Ep. 83 03.04.2024

Hoje discutimos o estilo e abordagem dos Irmãos Coen em "Burn After Reading". Apesar de para nós não estar ao nível de alguns de outros dos Coen, este não deixa de ser um filme com momentos de comédia brilhantes, desde as performances dos grandes atores à escrita dos Irmãos.

[PT] A Sátira e o Terror de Luis Buñuel? - "O Anjo Exterminador" (1962) - Ep. 82 03.04.2024

Juntem-se à nossa discussão sobre "O Anjo Exterminador", um dos filmes emblemáticos de Luis Buñuel. Ficamos impressionados com o facto de que é possível abordar o filme de diferentes formas - por um lado é uma crítica à alta sociedade, por outro, um filme de terror cómico.

[ENG] Emotional Storytelling and Post-Brexit Britain - Beru Tessema Interview 20.03.2024

Today we have the pleasure to talk to Beru Tessema and discuss his impressive short film, "Lions". Beru reflects on his work method with the different actors; the difficult realities of anti-immigration sentiments in Britain, as well as his work as an actor, playwright and writing for TV.

[PT] As Falhas e Virtudes de "Past Lives" (2023) - Ep. 80 06.03.2024

Hoje discutimos "Past Lives", a estreia aclamada de Celine Song. Aqui entre nós, o filme causa alguma discórdia e tentamos perceber o que é funciona e o que é que falha na narrativa e na estética - será a situação assim tão emocionalmente potente? Será que é demasiado forçado visualmente?

[PT] A Narrativa e Temas Dispersos de "American Fiction" (2023) - Ep. 79 06.03.2024

Juntem-se à nossa discussão sobre "American Fiction", realizado por Cord Jefferson. Apesar de ser um filme interessante e engraçado, achamos que tinha potencial para ser mais visualmente imaginativo e narrativamente desafiante - torna-se um pouco convencional, ainda que tenha uma performance brilhante de Jeffrey Wright.

[ENG] The Poor Storytelling of Poor Things (2023) | Review - Ep. 78 21.02.2024

We enter Yorgos Lanthimos unique world of "Poor Things" to discuss the flaws and strengths of this film. Although the visuals and music are beautiful and captivating, in our eyes it fails to develop Bella's character in a more complex and interesting way - despite Emma Stone giving a fantastic performance.

[ENG] How Justine Triet Explores the Spectacle of the Trial? - Anatomy of a Fall (2023) Review - Ep. 77 21.02.2024

We discuss the captivating "Anatomy of a Fall", the newest from Justine Triet. We are particularly impressed by the purposefully playful filmmaking and narrative beats, as well as the moments of greater emotionality.

Today we're joined by Marcelo Zarvos, a talented film composer who's recent work for "May December" has been highly acclaimed. He discusses his creative process, the recontextualization of a piece from "The Go Between" as well as the uniqueness of working with Todd Haynes.

[PT] Outra Obra-Prima de Martin Scorsese? - "Killers of the Flower Moon" - Ep. 75 07.02.2024

Juntem-se à nossa discussão sobre "Killers of the Flower Moon", o mais recente do nosso adorado Scorsese. Discutimos se será este novo território na carreira de Marty, ou se estruturalmente é demasiado semelhante aos seus filmes de gangsters?

[PT] Como Petzold Explora o Egoísmo em "Afire" (2023) - Ep. 74 07.02.2024

Hoje voltamos a cruzar-nos com Christian Petzold para discutirmos o novo "Afire". O toque de mestre do realizador é subtil, mas evidente, e ficamos particularmente impressionados com a forma cuidada como as personagens são desenvolvidas e observadas.

[ENG] The Problem with Bradley Cooper's Vision of Lenny Bernstein - "Maestro" (2024) - Ep.73 24.01.2024

We discuss what worked and didn't work for us in "Maestro", Bradley Cooper's admirable but flawed portrait of Leonard Bernstein. We outline our main problems: the film fails to communicate Lenny's love of music; the performances can be a bit too strained, and the narrative structure is uneven. ---------------------------------------------- Follow us on: YOUTUBE - https://www....

[ENG] The Beautiful Warmth and Storytelling of "The Holdovers" (2024) - Ep. 72 24.01.2024

Today we discuss the wonderful "The Holdovers", a film we think deserves to be watched and rewatched during the winter holidays. Despite the cold setting, there's a warmth to the film that is felt in the 70s texture of the images and also through the empathetic portrayal of these flawed characters. ---------------------------------------------- Follow us on: YOUTUBE - https://www.you...

[PT] Como Roy Andersson Retrata a Banalidade da Existência? - "About Endlessness" (2019) - Ep. 71 10.01.2024

Juntem-se à nossa discussão sobre "About Endlessness", um filme de Roy Andersson. Apesar de todos reconhecermos a beleza da estética do realizador sueco, temos algumas divergências se o visual, estrutura e escolhas narrativas do filme realmente contribuem para as ambições temáticas. ---------------------------------------------- Follow us on: YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/@rwc_podcas...

[PT] A Mulher Solitária em Fúria em "The Match Factory Girl" (1990) - Ep. 70 10.01.2024

Hoje vamos à Finlândia para falarmos sobre "The Match Factory Girl" de Aki Kaurismäki. É um filme curto e executado de forma simples e sardónica, e ficámos especialmente impressionados pelo desenrolar narrativo inesperado na ponta final. ---------------------------------------------- Follow us on: YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/@rwc_podcast/videos INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com...

[ENG] Michael Bay and The Beauty of Chaos - "Ambulance" (2022) - Ep. 69 27.12.2023

Join us as we argue the merits and demerits of Michael Bay and his entertaining "Ambulance".

[ENG] Ambiguity and Emotional Distance in "Landscape in the Mist" (1988) - Ep. 68 27.12.2023

Today we discuss Theo Angelopoulos' "Landscape in the Mist", one of his most well known films. Unfortunately, we were unconvinced by most of it, especially because we didn't feel a well worked emotional connection to the two main characters. ---------------------------------------------- Follow us on: YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/@rwc_podcast/videos INSTAGRAM - https://www.i...

[PT] O Mundo Mágico de "Harry Potter e a Pedra Filosofal" - Ep. 67 13.12.2023

Juntem-se ao nosso barco da nostalgia na nossa discussão sobre o primeiro Harry Potter, realizado por Chris Columbus. Enquanto Leo nunca desenvolveu grande afeto por este filme, as boas memórias permanecem em Tomás e Miguel, que ainda assim reconhecem as suas limitações - nomeadamente os efeitos especiais digitais e o facto que há imenso tempo de introdução narrativa pachorrenta. -----------------...

[PT] A Comédia Romântica Perfeita do mestre Lubitsch - "The Shop Around The Corner" (1940) - Ep. 66 13.12.2023

Hoje encontramo-nos novamente com Ernst Lubitsch, para discutirmos o seu maravilhoso filme "A Loja da Esquina" (The Shop Around The Corner). Ficámos todos igualmente apaixonados pela atenção às personagens e à narrativa bem trabalhada, nesta história intemporal e influente de duas pessoas que se apaixonam sem se aperceberem. ---------------------------------------------- Follow us on: YO...

[ENG] The Themes and Ideas of "Blade Runner 2049" (2017) - Ep. 65 29.11.2023

Join us as we discuss the strengths and flaws of Villeneuve's "Blade Runner 2049", the sequel to Ridley Scott's groundbreaking film. To us the richness of the film comes from its ideas and strong atmosphere, but we feel sometimes the plot gets in the way of things. ---------------------------------------------- Follow us on: YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/@rwc_podcast/videos INSTAGRAM - https:/...

[ENG] The Cool Loser Detective in "The Long Goodbye" (1973) - Ep. 64 29.11.2023

Today we discuss Altman's "The Long Goodbye", a classic neo-noir where we follow the tired Philip Marlowe masterfully played by Elliout Gould. We are especially in love with the charming opening sequence and the mood it establishes; and we also discuss the purpose of Altman's constant camera movements. ---------------------------------------------- Follow us on: YOUTUBE - https:/...
