LanceHOST
But, you know, we've talked about all these inspirations for Holden and Arouse.
LanceHOST
which it feels like this street level New York independent homage to Michael Powell's 1960s film, Peeping Tom.
EricaHOST
Yeah.
LanceHOST
So I'm going to go with Peeping Tom.
Tracy LettsGUEST
Uh, I, I think there is something kind of artistically bankrupt about revisiting a thing.
Tracy LettsGUEST
Does the story really need continuation? The end of The Godfather kind of tells us what's going to happen to Michael.
Tracy LettsGUEST
Now, Godfather II gives us what, what does happen to Michael, but we understand at the end of Godfather, from a, from a character perspective, he, he's already lost at the end of The Godfather.
Tracy LettsGUEST
He's already lost to this, to the dark side.
Tracy LettsGUEST
The interesting part of Godfather part two from a story perspective is Vito's story.
16 MINS LATER
Tracy LettsGUEST
Let's talk British filmmakers for a second.
Sean FennesseyHOST
Sure.
Tracy LettsGUEST
There's the, there's the foundational directors who, uh, Hitchcock, Michael Powell, David Lean, Chaplin.
speaker_2HOST
Yes.
speaker_2HOST
Christie basically invented the mechanics of the modern slasher film decades before Michael Powell's Peeping Tom or Hitchcock's Psycho
speaker_1HOST
Break those mechanics down for me.
speaker_1HOST
How does a 1939 British mystery novel act like a slasher?
DarylGUEST
Murphy, she
SeanHOST
kind of reaches out to him and then he's just out of reach and there's something really poignant about that because she knows who that symbolizes you know and then we've got Stuart Avon Ireland shows up he's playing Michael which of course references Michael Powell so yeah and Maureen this lovely smiling lady is in it you know I don't know it's it is nice and she you know visually shoot the trick of uh you know she's coming up with these ideas and the idea of her seemingly floating over these buildings and Then, of course, the snow is so reminiscent of 50 Words for Snow, which will come
DarylGUEST
along much later.
DarylGUEST
But it is beautiful.
Rosanna ArquetteGUEST
I know that, I mean, I think I've told this before, but I remember just I really wanted to be a dancer and, um, and that my mother took me to movies all the time.
Rosanna ArquetteGUEST
So one of the first movies, and it was I guess art house then too, was The Red Shoes, the movie The Red Shoes, um, which is an old, old, uh, Michael Powell film.
Rosanna ArquetteGUEST
Pressburger Powell film.
Rosanna ArquetteGUEST
And so, and I just, I was, like, four and I wanted to...
SimonHOST
Today we're going to review The Red Shoes.
SimonHOST
The Red Shoes, directed by the legendary duo Michael Powell and Emmerich Pressburger, is a cinematic masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of traditional storytelling.
SimonHOST
Released in 1948, this film is a visual and emotional feast, blending romance, drama and music into a compelling narrative that explores the sacrifices demanded by art.
SimonHOST
At the heart of the story is Victoria Page, played by Moira Shearer.
Griffin NewmanHOST
Mm-hmm
David SimsHOST
... uh, to present an award to Michael Powell, one of his heroes, the great British director.
David SimsHOST
And Michael Powell says to him, like, "My dear boy, what are you doing here? Aren't you working on a play?" And Scorsese's like, "That's when I realized, like, I was not cut out for theater."
Griffin NewmanHOST
Oh, sure.
Griffin NewmanHOST
[laughs]
15 MINS LATER
David SimsHOST
Um, apparently Jake LaMotta in his real act would recite Shakespeare.
Griffin NewmanHOST
Yes.
David SimsHOST
And the end of the movie was him doing that, and Michael Powell, again the esteemed director-
