It wouldn\u2019t be Thanksgiving without a little tradition, so naturally Vanity Fair\u2019s Katey Rich makes her annual return to us this week to discuss James Gray\u2019s The Lost City of Z<\/i>. The film had a long pre-production history, including promises of Brad Pitt in the lead, that long positioned it as the film that might finally garner Gray some awards attention. Finally produced and with Charlie Hunnam replacing Pitt, the film made its world premiere at the 2016 New York Film Festival without distribution and received strong reviews. Though Amazon picked up the film, they held its release until the spring, effectively killing its awards chances.<\/p>\n
This episode, we discuss our shared love for the film and talk about Gray\u2019s Oscar-elusive approach to material and his chances this season with Armageddon Time<\/i>. We also talk about Sienna Miller face blindness, Robert Pattinson\u2019s move towards auteur directors post-Twilight<\/i>, and Amazon\u2019s auteur-heavy 2017 crop of films.<\/p>\n
Topics also include renting VCRs, Darius Khondji\u2019s luminous Lost City<\/i> cinematography, and 2017 as the best Best Picture year post-expansion.<\/p>\n
