37. Inside Out & Performance
from Film Chat
This week, two films that each explore identity and the human condition: one by personifying emotions as adorable jumping cartoons, and the other by getting Mick Jagger to have sex a lot. Inside Out is Pixar’s latest, a film about Joy and Sadness getting lost inside the mind of an 11-year-old girl that seems hell bent on reducing everyone in the audience to a weeping, laughing mess. Performance is a 1970 experimental psychodrama in which an East London gangster holes up with Mick Jagger and his two girlfriends to take drugs, make love, and have long debates about whether the lyrics to Brown Sugar are problematic. Best double bill ever?Plus, we discuss Richard Linklater’s flirtation with directing The Rosie Project; the prospects for an overtly comic take on Shaft; and which actor has the best filmography. We also decide the ideal cast for our own personified Inside Out emotions. Sam thought Danny’s choices were awful, but that might have just been Emily Blunt hogging the control panel in his mind. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
