Episode 21: Solaris Jun 03, 2016

Show notes

With Andrei Tarkovsky's films currently being screened in cinemas, as part of the 'Sculpting Time' retrospective, the Curzon Podcast team couldn't pass up the opportunity to discuss one of his most influential and successful films, 'Solaris'. Tarkovsky's least favourite of his own films, this existential fable would go on to influence the genre of Science Fiction as much as Kubrick's 2001 and as we find out, could be endlessly discussed and interpreted.

Featuring an interview with director Whit StillmanIn this episode of the Curzon Film Podcast we don our finest corsets and cummerbunds for Whit Stillman's new Jane Austen adaptation 'Love and Friendship'. Expanded from the short novella 'Lady Susan', Stillman's new film is one of the stand out comedies of the year, whilst remaining faithful to it's Austen roots. Die hard Austen fans, and die hard haters would do well to dislike it. We also spoke to the film's director Whit Stillman about adapting Austen, expanding the film into a novel and a lot more.Thanks to Curzon Home Cinema you can also watch a free Q&A on the film this weekend (27-30th May) with star Kate Beckinsale and director Whit Stillman by clicking the below link and using the offer code AUSTENhttps://www.curzonhomecinema.com/#!/film/CRZ_LOVE_AND_FRIENDSHIP_Q_AND_A
