Hello, the ranting and raving John Cusack talks Edgar Allan Poe and politics, while Juliet Stevenson recalls the frustrations of playing Peter Greenaway's game during the filming of the beautiful of baffling Drowning by Numbers. Then the team behind the Cheek By Jowl theatre company take to the big screen with a racy 19th century adaptation Bel Ami that transforms Twilight's Robert Pattinson into a social climbing lowlife. And actor Riz Ahmed suggests that Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles is a plausible parable for modern India.
But first The Raven, a murderous fantasy on the last days of the writer Edgar Allan Poe who was found in Baltimore near-death and incoherent after mysterious absence, during which, well, what exactly did happen? Surely not what we see in this film as an 1840s detective attempts to solve a series of themed murders which recall grisly predicaments depicted in the work of Mr Poe. And the writer himself for me first encountered him before the disappearance is in search of a drink, a poet neglected and derided even in his regular tavern. John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe in the mystery horror thriller romance hybrid - that is the Raven with references to The Pit and the Pendulum and The Masque of the Red Death and other stories.大家好。本期节目里,言辞犀利的约翰•库萨克会谈论埃德加•爱伦坡和政治。朱丽叶•史蒂文森回忆出演彼得•格林纳威导演的电影“挨个淹死”时的沮丧。Cheek By Jowl剧院的幕后团队把原汁原味的19世纪改编剧本“漂亮朋友”搬上了大银幕。在这部作品中,“暮光之城”的罗伯特•帕特森转型为身处社会底层,却渴望跻身上流社会的人物形象。演员Riz Ahmed认为托马斯•哈代的代表作《德伯家的戴斯》可以在现代印度找到影子。
首先是“乌鸦”。这是一部对作家埃德加•爱伦坡死前几天的谋杀幻想。爱伦坡在神秘失踪之后,被人发现在巴蒂摩尔街头,当时已经奄奄一息、语无伦次。那么在他失踪的这段时间,到底发生了什么呢?当然不会是我们在这部电影里面看到的:一位19世纪40年代的侦探想要破一宗连环谋杀案。而这些恐怖的杀人手法都在爱伦坡的作品中有描述。爱伦坡失踪之前,我第一次见到他时,他正在找酒喝。这位诗人甚至在他常去的酒馆也被人无视、嘲笑。约翰•库萨克饰演埃德加•爱伦坡,这是一部集神秘、恐怖、惊悚、冒险为一体的电影,这就是电影“乌鸦”,电影内容可以在爱伦坡的作品《陷阱与钟摆》、《红死病》以及其他故事中找到。 |
