Little Gold Men by Vanity Fair – Détails, épisodes et analyse

The director of the hit franchise talks to Rebecca about the first two films, which he calls “the biggest technical challenge of my life," and his plans for the future.

Back from the Venice and Telluride film festivals, Rebecca, Richard and David discuss all the movies they've seen so far and some of their favorite encounters. 

The Emmy-winning Mad Men star is nominated this year for two very different roles in Fargo and The Morning Show. But, as he tells David Canfield in a wide-ranging conversation, they share a prescience that’s hard to ignore this election year.

Elon Musk’s presence in our lives is inescapable: his cars roam our streets, his satellites orbit our skies, and his purchase of X—formerly known as Twitter—has reshaped the social-media landscape. The staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss a recent biography of Musk, by Walter Isaacson, tracing the familiar archetype of the genius tech founder from the nineteenth-century robber baron to “Batman” ’s Bruce Wayne. The critics examine how, in recent years, the idea of the unimpeachable Silicon Valley founder has lost its sheen. Narratives such as the 2022 series “WeCrashed” tell the story of startup founders who make lofty promises, only to watch their empires crumble when those promises are shown to be empty. “It dovetails for me with the disillusionment of millennials,” Fry says, pointing to the dark mood that the 2007-08 financial crisis and the 2016 election brought to the country. “There’s no longer this blind belief that the tech founder is a genius who should be wholly admired with no reservations.”

The actress worked hard to snag her first lead role in the indie drama Monica, and now finds herself in the odd position of being able to talk about it while still being on strike. (Monica has an interim agreement with SAG-AFTRA) She talks to David Canfield about digging deep for the role, advocating for herself, and the potential to make history as a trans actress in the awards race.

The director of Sing Street and Once thought at one point he might be done with music movies, but was inspired by his relationship with his mother, and his own misspent youth, to write Flora and Son, about a mother and son who both find their own kind of salvation through music.
