Rocketman

The Actor and The Engineer Podcast ·

2019/06/07

This week we are talking about Taron Egerton's embodiment of a young Elton John.

Burning

2019/05/12

Still catching up from 2018, in this episode we discuss Burning. This Korean film based on a Haruki Murakami short story may seem slower at the beginning, but pay attention! The layers in this film go deep! All three lead actors put in great performances and director Lee Chang-Dong gets some amazing, ethereal shots.

Roma

2018/12/25

Alfonso Cuarón's new semi-autobiographical film focuses on the maid of a middle class Mexican family in Mexico City in the early 1970's. We talk about how this movie is presented in black and white with some amazing shots and an enveloping sound design. Cuarón made the bold choice to cast a first time actress in the main part and to not give anyone the script!
