Anne ThompsonHOST
There were several movies.
Anne ThompsonHOST
Now, remember that we had The Man I Love from Cannes, right? The Ira Sachs movie.
Anne ThompsonHOST
That was playing in Telluride.
Anne ThompsonHOST
And unfortunately, it was very much overshadowed by Elsinore, the Andrew Scott movie.
Ryan LattanzioHOST
He's really not doing well.
Ryan LattanzioHOST
But I found it to be... saccharine in a way that the man i love totally shirked all those cliches the man i love has some other cliches but it has some other
Anne ThompsonHOST
problems ryan and the difference between these two films if i may be so bold is the two central performances now you could argue that the andrew scott ian charleston character is heroic and lovely and charming and you you like him What the other movie does, The Man I Love, Ira Sachs does, is he takes Rami Malek and makes him really dislikable and over the top, and he chews up the scenery, and there's all sorts of choices that they made, perhaps bravely, but I found the performance very off-putting.
Anne ThompsonHOST
There's one scene, which I told you later, really got to me because I thought about it a lot, and it's a scene where he sings, and it's beautiful.
Kenny MilesGUEST
So there is a few scenes where he does do that.
Kenny MilesGUEST
But, you know, the Ira Sachs movie, it was really like a vibe almost.
Kenny MilesGUEST
And I mean, it did have a plot, but you did see a lot of scenes of just people hanging out or just kind of like like people talking.
Kenny MilesGUEST
But it's definitely a movie that will play.
Megan McLaughlinHOST
Is
Clarence MoyHOST
that Ira Sachs? Yeah, it's all about risk.
Clarence MoyHOST
I mean, like I said, I'm not going down the I, Tonya hole, but there we go.
Clarence MoyHOST
Are we done?
Josh ParhamGUEST
But yeah, I, I just think that he seems like a very thoughtful person.
Josh ParhamGUEST
Uh, and I, and now he's like hooked up with, with Ira Sachs too, which is another one of my favorite filmmakers, so it, it, I like his choices.
Josh ParhamGUEST
We'll see about Elden Ring, but-
Ryan McQuadeHOST
Mm
ChloeHOST
it's like the ultimate cool nocturnal revenge fantasy action flick it's got a kind of neo-noir edge and Ryan Gosling is playing this kind of race of taciturn unnamed getaway driver who wants to rescue Kerry Mulligan in some ways the driver is more like a kind of knight errant from a fairy tale except that his weapon is a hammer instead of a sword and he's living in this ultra blood-soaked modern LA but it it's a different sort of film to Basic Instinct I think if you If you like that sort of thing, you'll like that.
ChloeHOST
And then in terms of films with famous sex scenes, if you like, I was thinking of Passages from 2023, directed by Ira Sachs.
ChloeHOST
And that's about a gay couple whose life is thrown into chaos when the very self-absorbed main character falls in love with a woman.
ChloeHOST
And it was noted at the time for its very kind of frank, very lustful, but quite realistic sex scenes.

Alfred MolinaGUEST
You know, it can be, it can be a w- I mean, you know.
Alfred MolinaGUEST
When I, uh, um, when I did, uh, um, a, a, a, a f- first time I worked with Ira Sachs on, uh, Love Is Strange playing a leading part opposite John Lithgow.
Alfred MolinaGUEST
It was a wonderful, wonderful movie.
Alfred MolinaGUEST
The next time I worked for Ira, I d- I did, I did a two s- a, like a literally a four-line role.
Jay LedbetterPANELIST
Last chance to get another.
Sophia CiminelloPANELIST
Ira Sachs I don't think has one.
Ryan McQuadeHOST
Andrew Haigh?
Jay LedbetterPANELIST
He...
Matt NegliaHOST
And also, they're black and white movie- movies, so it's a, it's a great time to be Sandra Hüller.
Matt NegliaHOST
Um, Ira Sachs' The Man I Love, uh, will also be here.
Matt NegliaHOST
Um, The Unknown.
Matt NegliaHOST
That's another Lea Seydoux film.
