Kermode on Film

In this week's episode of Kermode On Film you can hear the second half of the MK3D show recorded on 5th December 2022 —the 75th MK3D show live at the BFI Southbank.

Mark is joined by screenwriter Tony Kushner to talk about his collaboration with Steven Spielberg on The Fabelmans. Tony reflects on the deeply personal nature of the film and the process of working with Spielberg to bring this autobiographical story to life. And he talks about his guilty pleasure – it's a true Hollywood Classic!

Actress Aimee Lou Wood and producer Stephen Woolley talk to Mark about their film Living, in which Aimee stars.

Stephen shares how this remake of Akira Kurosawa’s Ikiru came to fruition, and Aimee discusses working with the brilliant Bill Nighy.

You can hear the first half of this MK3D show on last week’s Kermode On Film.

This week's episode of Kermode On Film takes us to Christmas 2022, and a special milestone —the 75th MK3D show, recorded live at the BFI Southbank on Monday 5 December 2022

You can hear the first half of that MK3D show on this podcast.

Mark welcomes a great lineup of guests, starting with director Hassan Nazer, who talks about his award-winning, aptly named film Winners. Hassan also shares stories of his Iranian heritage, the films that influenced him, and his journey to becoming a filmmaker in the UK.

Next, Mark talks to Mark Jenkin and Mary Woodvine about their Cornish folk horror Enys Men, and about the BFI season that Mark Jenkin curated: “The Cinematic DNA of Enys Men”.

And finally, Mark is joined by Oscar-winning director Edward Berger, to discuss his powerful remake of All Quiet on the Western Front. Edward talks about what drew him to retelling this classic, about his connection to the original novel, and the challenges of depicting visceral scenes on screen.

In next week’s episode, you’ll hear the next half of the show, featuring screenwriter Tony Kushner, who talks about his collaboration with Steven Spielberg on The Fabelmans, and Aimee Lou Wood and Stephen Woolley who talk about Living, the remake of Akira Kurosawa’s Ikiru.
