Bad Times at the El Royale

The Actor and The Engineer Podcast ·

Great performances lead this ensemble piece where everything is not as it first seems.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire

The Actor and The Engineer Podcast ·

2020/04/28

Celine Sciamma's period piece of a relationship that develops between two women (a painter and her subject) in the late 1700's is as beautiful as it is brilliant. Her script, the superb acting and the breathtaking cinematography are infinitely watchable. We talk about the meta nature of the story, the inventive use of music and some tricks that were employed to serve the story.
