b'Rhys Graham joins us to talk the films of Krzystof Kie\\xc5\\u203alowski!
\\nAustralian filmmaker Rhys Graham joins Rochelle and Lee as they look back at some of the key films of this month, including Claire Denis’s science fiction drama High Life (01:10), Jordan Peele’s modern horror Us (06:37), Karyn Kusama’s gritty crime saga Destroyer (11:33), and Tim Burton’s live-action remake Dumbo (19:17).
\\nWe then check back with our semi-regular mini-Hyphenate segment to look at every single film directed by legendary actor Charles Laughton. The legendary actor of stage and screen has one credit and one credit only as director: the noir thriller The Night of the Hunter (1955). It’s considered one of the greatest films of all time. How did Laughton get it so right on his one and only try? And why did he never direct again? (26:13)
\\nThen, Rhys takes us through the works and career of his filmmaker of the month, Polish auteur Krzystof Kie\\xc5\\u203alowski. Kie\\xc5\\u203alowski is best known for\\xa0The Double Life of Veronique (1991) and the\\xa0Three Colours trilogy (1993-1994), but before he became a beloved icon of arthouse festivals, he was busy making documentaries, shorts, and features with a distinctly verit\\xc3\\xa9 style, documenting life under Communist rule, and the corrosive effects of the autocratic state. So how did Kie\\xc5\\u203alowski go from these humble roots to being the poster child for elegant European cinema? (37:46)
