The Beguiled

This week, the great Jake Mueller (Cinebums) returns to the show to talk Sofia Coppola's The Beguiled. A remake of the Clint Eastwood/Don Siegel film of the same name, the film stars Colin as a Union soldier in the waning years of the Civil War who is injured and taken in by a Confederate girl's school and all the sexual tension and various romances that follow. We talk the film's racial and gender politics and its complicated reception, along with our broader feelings on Coppola, the remaining context from the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, and the wildly different approaches between this film and the original. Plus: two difficult, contentious Rushmores on two of our absolute favorite actresses.Listen to Cinebums! https://cinebums.com/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
