In another archive edition we return to the cinema and experience a family falling apart in front of their son’s eyes in 1960s suburbia – here we speak to actor turned writer and director Paul Dano about Wildlife.
In 1960s Montana Joe loses his job and struggles for purpose, eventually temporary abandoning his family to help fight nearby forest fires. The film follows how the mother and son cope and adapt to life without their husband and father. In the film Dano has drawn together an impressive cast with Cary Mulligan playing Jean Brison, Jake Gyllenhall playing Jerry Brison and Ed Oxenbould as their 14 year old son Joe. Written by Dano with his partner Zoe Kazan, adapted from Richard Ford’s novel of the same name, we spoke to the director at the 2018 London Film Festival and started by asking why he wanted to bring this particular book and story to the screen.

On this week’s archive edition our focus turns once again to the cinema as we relisten to an honest and engaging conversation with director Lynne Ramsay.
For over two decades director Lynne Ramsay has blazed a path in her films from her debut 1999’s Ratcatcher to the subject of this interview, 2017’s dark and intense You Were Never Really Here.
‘You know there’s no money, time’s running out, there’s always this crazy energy and I think sometimes that’s just brings out the best ideas for me….I don’t think I’ve ever not walked on to a film slight y terrified and I think you should be slightly terrified’. – Lynne Ramsey.
The director has worked with and brought out outstanding performances from the likes of Tilda Swinton in We Need to Talk About Kevin, Samantha Morton in Morvern Callar and more recently Joaquin Phoenix as an intense hitman in You Were Never Really Here.

On this week’s archive edition we return to 2013 and director Clio Barnard's reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s famous fairy tale – The Selfish Giant.
‘Well I guess I see it as a love story really, but it’s about a friendship between two boys and I guess they are trying, struggling to come of age – Clio Barnard.
In this film, Wilde’s fairy tale is transported to the estates of Bradford. Barnard is never shy of dealing with tough subject matter and the drama has real emotional punch, with incredibly brilliant debut performances from the young cast.
