Western (2017) by Valeska Grisebach

Season 2 · Episode 3

Friday, August 18, 2023 • Duration 01:29:11

This week on Cannesversations, Eliana and Patrick discuss Valeska Grisebach’s self-described "dance with the Western genre," the 2017 Cannes Un Certain Regard film Western. Considered by some to be part of the second generation of the Berlin School and by others to be one of the distinct voices of the New Austrian Cinema, Grisebach distinguishes herself through her filmmaking approach by favoring a collaborative process with her actors in the conceptualization of scenes.

Strangely enough, this does not take away from her directorial signature style, yet rather establishes her as one of the leading filmmakers of world cinema concerned with narrative realism. Western implements documentary-style filmmaking techniques to speak to the subsisting undercurrent themes of colonization and masculinity with contemporary panache and vigilant subtlety.

Festen (1998) by Thomas Vinterberg

Season 2 · Episode 2

Friday, August 4, 2023 • Duration 01:22:15

This week Patrick and Eliana discuss Thomas Vinterberg’s 1998 Cannes Jury Prize winner, Festen (The Celebration).

All That Jazz (1979) by Bob Fosse

Season 2 · Episode 1

Thursday, July 27, 2023 • Duration 01:17:43

Eliana and Patrick have decided to keep Cannesversations afloat by riffling through the abundance of films historically screened at the Cannes Film Festival.
