Movie Meltdown - Episode 405
This week we return to the
Flyover Film Fest for their Taste of Flyover
festivities. Plus we sit down with Ana Asensio the
writer, director and star of Most Beautiful
Island (winner of Grand Jury Award at South by
Southwest this year). We also recap the night where we ate
food from Chef Edward Lee's recipes as well as saw Peter Byck's
One Hundred Thousand Beating Hearts and Fermented
directed by Jonathan Cianfrani. Plus our thoughts on recent
viewings of War for the Planet of the Apes and
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
And while we watch movies while
eating chicken and waffles, we also we also discuss... John
Cassavetes, Dekalog, Kimchi on a deviled egg, truthful filmmaking,
it's anthropological is what it is, meatloaf balls, living the life
he wants to live, Krzysztof Kieslowski, telling interesting stories
along the way, studying films that I love, Noah Greenberg, edamame,
Matt Reeves, cheese and bacteria, there were mistakes being done,
Luc Besson, doing kickflips and eatin' pickles, a very ethnographic
perspective, shot in a guerrilla style, Cara Delevingne, please
quit eating this hot dog, knocking on doors, I believe you used the
word barbarians, people and culture, I had some strong visions on
how I wanted to shoot this film, handheld and voyeuristic, movie
theater nachos, interesting color schemes, John Carter of Mars,
feeding my soul, that was kind of like a dream... and a vision...
and a struggle at the same time, the kneading of the dough, I don't
want to give up... because this is my true passion, I'm relatively
sophisticated, Dane DeHaan, an Amazon Prime wormhole straight to
your door, embracing improvisation and... I'm
fermenting!
"...I knew that the way I was...
watching the films were beyond just a regular audience or just an
actor looking at the performances... it was affecting me in a
greater deeper level."
