Bobby Deerfield feat. Derek Pfister
from The Shame List Picture Show Hosted by Someone's Favorite Productions
Welcome back to the Shame List Picture Show! On this episode, Michael is joined by Derek Pfister, an award-winning Milwaukee-based cinematographer, editor, and founder of Chair on Stair Films. With over 20 years behind the camera, Derek’s work includes the Cannes-screened Reasonable Doubt and the documentary series The Next Frame. Today, we’re talking about Sidney Pollack’s 1977 drama Bobby Deerfield. Al Pacino plays a cool, calculated Formula One driver whose confidence takes a hit after a teammate’s brutal crash. Not long after, he meets Lillian (Marthe Keller), a free-spirited woman who pulls him into an unexpected romance. Instead of adrenaline-fueled action, this one focuses on mood, atmosphere, and quiet moments. Michael and Derek dig into the film’s slow-burn style, its melancholy beauty, and whether it’s a forgotten gem or a product of its time.
