Leap into our chat about Leap Year

Today Mike and Christi breakdown the film Leap Year (2010). Amy Adams plays Anna Brady, who plans to travel to Dublin, Ireland, so she can propose to her boyfriend on a leap day. But what happens when she meets Declan along the way? Aside from our regular themes of cinematography and writing we discuss some costuming issues and our dreaded distain for the empty prop coffee cup. Please share if you have noticed this as well.

“Sister throwing some Wellies and a pair of jeans, you know, some overalls, a good sweatshirt or coat and hit that Irish landscape, but no pencil skirts in the middle of a cow field.”

- Christi Dodge

We cover the aspects of this film like:

• Writing that highlights a character’s eccentricities
• How this movie is similar to McCabe & Mrs. Miller & Winter’s Bone for Christi
• Cinematography that highlights the beautiful Irish countryside
• Use of the color red in sets and costumes
• A cameo in the film by an Oregonian
