Mozart in the Jungle

I love this guy.

His work in Mozart in the Jungle to his singing and voice acting in Coco.

In these two projects, he was able to bring an exuberance that had to be contained and released strategically throughout each project, to the point where he would often look like a fool only for it to be revealed wisdom.

As his character Guy, the most inspiring name I think we've ever had in an M Night movie, he's not even trying, it's like, are you gonna replace that? Eh, no, Guy's a name.

You can go for stories that are narrower, but incredibly powerful and well told.

Mozart in the Jungle is the same way.

I don't see how Mozart in the Jungle, another one that has won Golden Globes and Emmys, I don't see how it could be successful on broadcast TV either.

And so we can attract a different kind of storyteller who wants to tell a certain kind of story.

And then there are other things that are just tailwinds in this business that are happening because of HBO and Netflix and others that 10 years ago, you couldn't get A-list talent to do TV.

In the enormously successful 2011 French film The Untouchables, which became one of the highest-grossing non-English language films of all time, a piece from his Comedia dell'arte overture suite, the Columbine movement from the Ouverture burlesque plays at a key moment in the story in a scene that beautifully captures the film's central theme of barriers between social worlds being dissolved by music.

His music has also appeared in the American television series Mozart in the Jungle, in the German television series Anna from 1987, in the Spanish film El Teorema de Santiago, and in the animated feature Barbie and the Twelve Dancing Princesses from 2006.

His trombone concerto has been used in a recent film soundtrack, and his music is available for sync licensing.

meaning it continues to find its way into films, television programs, and games around the world.

No, but I do know him because I think he also did a show that was really popular.

Well, for war season was Mozart in the Jungle, right? He did that as well, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I'm sorry.

Do you? Yeah, that was...

What was the Mozart series? The series that was based on Dudamel? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mozart in the Jungle.

Mozart in the Jungle.

Okay.

They have an episode where he hooks up with a guy who's a choreographer.

I didn't see it in the moment, obviously.

And then he showed up on Mozart in the Jungle.

He's a really charismatic performer and someone I really enjoy watching.

The word I saw thrown around for this film a lot was Kafkaesque.
