A 'May December' (2023) chat + some Oscars talk
from The Sleepless Cinematic Podcast · host The Sleepless Cinematic Podcast
With the 96th Academy Awards a little less than a month away, Julian, Madeline and Emilio share their first impressions and some opinions about 'May December', a movie that didn't get the Oscars love most thought it would receive upon its release. They note that the ambiguous interpretations of motivation and behavior favorably reminds them of Haynes' (previously discussed on this podcast) film 'Safe'. They also comment on the film's interrogation of viewer desires, and how that theme situates it amongst several other films released in 2023. Then, Julian and Madeline have a back and forth about the Best Picture race, and share personal anecdotes about some of their favorite films nominated this year.
