Barry Jenkins, fresh off the success of Moonlight, adapted James Baldwin’s “If Beale Street Could Talk” into an evocative, gorgeous, and emotionally raw film. Black Love takes center stage as Tish and Fonny struggle to live in a society that is trying to crush them. In episode 143, Luke & James discuss filmmaking techniques, behind the scenes insights, and the political climate of today's similarities to that of the material.

 

Topic Include: What makes a Barry Jenkins film, a lesson on mise-en-scène, a Dave Franco debate, a problem with lighting in Hollywood, the slap, Regina King delivers the goods, the pros/cons of acting classes, and what Fonny’s sculpture might mean, and a clever change at the very end.
