このコンテンツについて

At the Pictures is a podcast for those who believe cinema is more than entertainment—it's an art form, and a grand, enduring spectacle. Presented in association with 1 Warwick, a private members' house in the heart of Soho—London’s historic film district—the series blends sharp critique with industry insight and a touch of dry wit. For those who see cinema as a lens through which to view the world, and prefer their commentary as considered as their company, At the Pictures is required listening.

  • Barbara Loden, Wanda, and Frankenstein
    2025/06/14
    As the BFI mounts a season celebrating the quiet brilliance of Barbara Loden, we revisit Wanda (1970), her singular and haunting feature that slipped between the cracks of American film history. Elena Gorfinkel, curator and author of the new BFI Film Classic on Wanda, joins us to consider Loden’s legacy — and why it’s taken so long for the world to catch up. Plus: as Guillermo del Toro readies his own retelling of Frankenstein, hosts Benjamin Wilson and Dash Silva return to James Whale’s 1931 version — a lean, expressionistic masterpiece that departed sharply from Mary Shelley’s original vision. What was lost in the translation? And what did Whale, a master of stagecraft and shadows, bring to the myth?

  • Wicked, Downton Abbey, and the case for comfort viewing
    2025/06/07
    The broomsticks are back. The trailer for "Wicked: For Good" has landed, reuniting Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in the second act of Broadway’s glittering megahit. While some critics remain unconvinced, our hosts Benjamin Wilson and Dash Silva beg to differ. Yes, it’s glossy, yes, it’s mainstream, but is that really such a sin? Also: the Earl of Grantham returns. "Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale" readies its final curtain call with a new film on the way, promising more upstairs-downstairs intrigue and silver tray sophistication. It’s not cinema at its most daring, but is it the televisual equivalent of a roast dinner on a rainy Sunday afternoon? We say: yes, and more please. From emerald cities to English manors, this episode asks whether there’s still a place for the sweeping, the sentimental, and the unapologetically comfortable on screen.

  • Romantic comedies, Fantômas, and The Manchurian Candidate
    2025/05/24
    Are romantic comedies finding their home on the small screen? As Meg Ryan signs on to Too Much, Lena Dunham’s upcoming Netflix series, Benjamin Wilson and Dashiel Silva explore whether the genre is undergoing a long-form revival — and what that shift means for cinema as we know it. Plus: the newly restored 1913 serial Fantômas — all inky shadows and theatrical intrigue — reminds us how early cinema shaped everything from film noir to comic book heroes. And a cold and calculating turn from Angela Lansbury in The Manchurian Candidate. We consider why her performance remains one of the most haunting — and subversive — in film history.
