Auteur Corner: Paul Schrader, Paul Thomas Anderson, Alfonso Cuarón, Bong Joon-ho

Saison 1 · Épisode 20

jeudi 29 juillet 2021 • Durée 02:37:56

After all this buildup — months of interviews, editing, a trailer, and 19 previous episodes — we’ve made it to the season finale of The Formative Films Project. And what better way to cap it off than with a celebration of five of the best filmmakers working today?

We’ll look at the iconoclastic Paul Schrader, who’s built not only a successful career as a gun-for-hire screenwriter, but also an accomplished director in his own right. There’s also Paul Thomas Anderson, a Robert Altman disciple who’s leaned heavily into his influences while still crafting his own wholly original stories, whether it be in the San Fernando Valley or 1950s London.

Alfonso Cuarón — a third of the Academy Awards' beloved "Three Amigos" — has perfected the balance between mainstream and arthouse, from the Harry Potter franchise and big-budget science fiction, to poignant, authentically Mexican stories you might find in the Criterion Collection. And finally, there’s Bong Joon-ho, the South Korean auteur who’s mastered police procedurals, monster movies, family dramas, and high-concept sci-fi, all featuring commentary on class inequality. He even has three Oscars and a Palme d’Or to show for it.

While the work speaks for itself, this episode is truly a celebration of some of the best films — and filmmakers — of the past decade.

3:14 - 35:02: First Reformed (Liam Quinn)

35:04 - 1:04:29: The Master (Ishan Parikh)

1:04:30 - 1:35:23: Phantom Thread (Oscar Pavlove)

1:35:44 - 2:07:02: Roma (Stephanie Morales Macedo)

2:07:03 - 2:36:34: Parasite (Jay Tapaoan)

Auteur Corner: David Lynch and Darren Aronofsky

Saison 1 · Épisode 19

lundi 26 juillet 2021 • Durée 02:10:11

A name that kept popping up throughout my conversations was David Lynch, the enigmatic, reclusive auteur whose films have been known to confuse and captivate. Because of that, it was no surprise his 2001 film Mulholland Drive was highly sought after as a “favorite film” worthy of dissection. We’ll finally talk about it later in this episode, but the reason two of his films are topics of discussion here are that he’s such a singular storyteller; for better or worse, a David Lynch film is a DAVID LYNCH film. The rich color palette, the Angelo Badalamenti score, the surrealism, his unique sense of humor — it all makes for great conversation after the fact.

The same could be said for Darren Aronofsky, another writer/director with a sparse film resume, yet one that’s made noise at both the Academy Awards and in cult fandoms alike. His intense films delve into some rather dark and/or serious subject matter — artistic struggle, biblical allegories, climate change — but again, still very much thought provoking, if not somewhat controversial.

2:30 - 33:47: Blue Velvet (Taylor Weber)

33:48 - 1:05:53: Mulholland Drive (Nat Hoopes)

1:06:15 - 1:35:07: Black Swan (Margarita Madu)

1:35:08 - 2:08:02: mother! (Faith Maddox)

A World of (Mostly) Pure Imagination (Part 2)

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

jeudi 24 juin 2021 • Durée 02:05:25

Welcome back to The Formative Films Project as we reach the halfway point of this journey.

Building off last episode’s discussion on high fantasy and escapist films, we’ll shift to a heightened version of reality that resembles our own. Whether that be a corrupt corporate ladder in alternate present-day Oakland, a supervillain coming to terms with unexpected victory, or three superheroes coming to terms with their identities, these are ultimately stories about people’s inner struggles. There’s also plenty of explosions, action set pieces, and costumes, though, so we still get that escapist fare.

1:57 - 24:45: Sorry to Bother You (Dawson Hughes)

24:46 - 47:35: Megamind (Antonette Gichohu)

47:36 - 1:12:34: Spider-Man 2 (Terrell Henderson)

1:12:55 - 1:37:17: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (Meet Kapadia)

1:37:18 - 2:03:53: The Dark Knight (Kameron McQueen)

A World of (Mostly) Pure Imagination (Part 1)

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

lundi 21 juin 2021 • Durée 01:57:43

A common thread throughout these conversations — and moviegoing as a whole — is looking to the movies as an escape, a portal to another world to either find the best or worst in humanity. For our next two episodes, we’ll look at 10 films that do just that, such as Peter Falk reading a fairy tale to Fred Savage, two different takes on Alice in Wonderland, Miles Morales being brought to the big screen, or Armie Hammer trying to make an equisapien MLK Jr. Each of these films represent either a world entirely different from our own, or at least a heightened version of our reality.

2:01 - 17:42: The NeverEnding Story (Jane' Franklin)

17:43 - 44:12: The Princess Bride (Fulton Caster)

44:13 - 1:07:09: Alice in Wonderland (1951) (Alicia Marksberry)

1:07:28 - 1:28:56: Pan's Labyrinth (Josh McQuade)

1:28:57 - 1:56:14: Life of Pi (Adam Lang)

The Pods are Alive with The Sound of Music (Part 1)

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

lundi 14 juin 2021 • Durée 02:25:54

As Julie Andrews once belted out on the rolling hillside of Salzburg, Austria, “The hills are alive with the sound of music,” and so is this podcast. For our next 12 films, we’ll be looking at some classic musicals (including The Sound of Music), musicians dealing with the vices that come with fame, the power of rock music, and more. From Bing Crosby to Ryan Gosling, Christopher Plummer to Jack Black, the Monkees to Stillwater, or Jean ValJean to Elton John — here are our favorite movies about the music, and how these two mediums can coalesce into something special.

What's Love Got to Do With It? (Part 1)

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

lundi 7 juin 2021 • Durée 02:09:13

Welcome back to The Formative Films Project. We’ll next look at depictions of romance in film, whether that be young love in the modern era, brief encounters, or even when a long-term relationship isn’t meant to be.

Most of these are love stories. Some of them are stories about love. Either way, these 10 movies deal with how we connect and communicate with each other, simultaneously a welcome catharsis during a pandemic and a reminder of our desire to, well, get back out there.
