The film reunited Cianfrance with his\u00a0<i>Blue Valentine<\/i>\u00a0star Ryan Gosling as a motorcyclist who turns to crime, with consequences that will reverbate across households and generations. After launching at TIFF in 2012, Focus Features held the film until the following spring, leaving it as a highly divisive afterthought come awards season.<\/p>\n<p>We unpack Cianfrance\u2019s ambitious triptych vision with a stellar ensemble cast of Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Dane DeHaan, Ray Liotta, Rose Byrne, Ben Mendelsohn, and Eva Mendes. We discuss the film\u2019s underserved female characters, early 2010s Gosling fatigue, and its emotionally intelligent exploration of masculinity that still left some viewers cold. And there\u2019s still room to rave over cinematographer Derek Cianfrance and his bold work for this film that left him with a concussion.<\/p>\n<p>Topics also include Cianfrance\u2019s underseen HBO limited series I Know This Much Is True, Michelle Williams\u2019 nomination for\u00a0<i>Blue Valentine<\/i>\u00a0without one for Gosling, and reading\u00a0<i>A Little Life<\/i>\u00a0on vacation.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Us on Twitter!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Had_Oscar_Buzz\">@Had_Oscar_Buzz<\/a><br \/>\nJoe: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joereid\">@joereid<\/a><br \/>\nChris: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chrisvfeil\">@chrisvfeil<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_6980\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-568-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_146_The_Place_Beyond_The_Pines.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_146_The_Place_Beyond_The_Pines.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_146_The_Place_Beyond_The_Pines.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_146_The_Place_Beyond_The_Pines.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/?powerpress_pinw=568-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/3563080\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/EP\/THOB_EP_146_The_Place_Beyond_The_Pines.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"THOB_EP_146_The_Place_Beyond_The_Pines.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/fightinginthewarroom.com\/THOB\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, our Focus Features miniseries brings us to\u00a0The Place Beyond the Pines, Derek Dianfrance\u2019s epic, novelistic tale of fathers and sons.
