Kermode on Film – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Kermode on Film is back for the first time since April 2022!

This episode is the first half of an MK3D show recorded live at the BFI Southbank on 16 September 2024. In it, London Film Festival director Kristy Matheson joins Mark to share her highlights of the LFF 2024. She recommends some favourites: the opening film, Steve McQueen’s Blitz, the closing film Piece By Piece, studio feature Conclave, indie film Harvest, and this year’s unexpected gem, The Extraordinary Miss Flower.

Next, Mark welcomes iconic actress Juliet Stevenson to discuss her role in Reawakening. She also reminisces about her one-take capture of an iconic scene with Alan Rickman in Truly Madly Deeply, and the magic of working with director Anthony Minghella.

Writer-director James Watkins discusses his new film Speak No Evil. He talks about capturing the anxiety of politeness, and the importance of the communal experience of watching films with an audience.

The second half of this September 2024 show will be uploaded in a week's time.
