Ep. 278: Sean Baker on Anora and its influences, and highlights from his recent watches

Thursday, November 14, 2024 • Duration 19:39

Ep. 278: Sean Baker on Anora and its influences, and his recent viewing Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. We’re back with an extra-special episode that’s chock full of pure movie love! Written and directed by Sean Baker, Anora starring Mikey Madison keeps winning over audiences as it’s expanded to theaters across the country, with its New York story of a stripper (Madison) and her star-crossed relationship with a billionaire’s son (Mark Eydelshteyn). Baker is a voracious cinephile, so I jumped at the chance to sit down with him on The Last Thing I Saw and talk about the movie influences on Anora – plus some choice making-of details – and also what he’s been watching. His movie-watching range was an absolute delight to hear about, and I won’t spoil it here – so have a listen and enjoy! Anora won the Palme d'Or at the 2024 Cannes film festival, where it premiered. Baker's other films include The Florida Project, Tangerine, Starlet, Prince of Broadway, Red Rocket, and another New York-set movie, Take Out.

This week I’m happy to welcome back scholar Shonni Enelow for another thoughtful chat about acting and performance, and how they reflect or respond to changing times. Enelow, a professor at Fordham University who just published a new book on Joanna Hogg, writes an acting column at Reverse Shot. We talk about realism in 21st-century acting and direct address through her first column’s subject, We’re All Going to the World’s Fair, as well as I Saw the TV Glow, both directed by Jane Schoenbrun. Then we discuss the distinctive performances and styles of self-presentation in Bertrand Bonello’s The Beast and two mid-to-late films of Eric Rohmer.
