あらすじ・解説
Join hosts Jason and Tony, as well as a new guest, Felicia Maroni, for the finale of Season One. On this episode we discuss Zoltán Korda's 1951 drama Cry, the Beloved Country, a film shot on location in South Africa, starring Canada Lee and Sidney Poitier, which aimed to critique the brutal apartheid system just three years after it was codified into law. The film was based on a novel of the same name by Alan Paton, a white South African, and adapted to the screen by Paton and the blacklisted writer John Howard Lawson, who went uncredited.
Book mentioned: Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth (1961)Felicia is the host of the wondeful film podcast Seeing Faces in the Movies, which focuses on either a director or cinemtagrapher and how their aesthetic approach changes (or doesn't) across their ouevre.
