Lion (2016, Garth Davis)

20/11/2023

Lion is a 2016 film directed by Garth Davis.

Based on the memoir A Long Way Home, the film tells the true story of Saroo Brierley who is played by Dev Patel. The cast also includes Rooney Mara, David Wenham and Nicole Kidman. The film had its world premiere at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, taking 2nd place in the Audience Award.

Khandwa, central India, 1986 - Saroo, five years old, second son of a very poor family, who survives with his older brother Guddu by collecting waste metals, asks the other to be able to work at night in a station near their home village. In search of his brother, the child mistakenly boards a deserted train that leaves and does not stop, taking him to Calcutta, about 1600 kilometers away.

Lost in the chaotic metropolis, not speaking the local Bengali language, Saroo survives on the streets. Hosted by people of ill repute, he manages to escape, only to be noticed by a young employee who speaks his Hindi language and who takes him to a police station so that, by publishing his photo in the newspapers, someone can recognize him. Saroo leaves for Hobart in Tasmania, where he grows up and becomes an adult.

At the age of 27, Saroo is a university student in Melbourne, with numerous Indian friends and loved ones, but he has not forgotten his roots and his family, for which he feels a sense of guilt due to his disappearance. At his girlfriend's insistence, the young man begins researching through Google Earth, desperately searching for his home village based on his fading memories, until he recognizes from a satellite image what appears to be the starting station.

Filming began in January 2015 in Calcutta, India, and continued in mid-April, in Australia, in the cities of Melbourne and Hobart.

The film had its world premiere on 10 September 2016 at the Toronto International Film Festival and subsequently at the London Film Festival and the Rome Film Festival. It was released in US cinemas on 25 November 2016 by The Weinstein Company, while distribution began in Australia on 19 January 2017, and in Italy it was released on 22 December 2016.

For the film Sia composed the song Never Give Up, released as a promotional single.

The score was composed by Dustin O'Happellon and Hauschka and was nominated for Best Original Score at the 2017 Oscars.

238 - Mary Magdalene

We talk about awards hopes thwarted by release date pushes, and this week is the mother of all of them. Originally intended as Garth Davis’ speedy follow-up to Lion for Thanksgiving 2017, Mary Magdalene cast Rooney Mara as the biblical woman and Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus. The film reexamines Mary Magdalene role among the disciples and how history has viewed her, and attempts a feminist perspective to biblical narratives. But shortly after it wasn’t announced for any fall festival lineups, the film was pushed to Easter 2018. When the Weinstein expose arrived, the film was then caught in US distribution limbo, arriving on schedule overseas but not seeing (few) American theatres until 2019.

This episode, we talk about Davis’ success with Lion in the 2016 season and our hopes for his upcoming Satires Ronan starrer Foe. We also discuss Joe’s Catholic upbringing and knowledge, how Jesus would’ve handled social media, and the chances Mara would have had in the Best Actress race had the film arrived in its original season.

Topics also include Phoenix’s whole vibe, MANY music references, and Hot Judas.

Film after film: Lion (dir. Garth Davis, 2016)

It's another mid-2010s award-circuit title I actively chose not to watch, and another one that is not as bad or tone-deaf as I thought it would be. While I hate the idea of child actors, Pawar is fantastic, especially in the final scene of his part. Patel is silently charismatic, and supported by equally empathetic turns by Kidman and Mara. This is the last financially successful film produced by the infamous Weinstein Company.

Mini Reviews: “Matilda,” “Till,” and “The Woman King”

So I finally got to see some 2022 movies I’d been meaning to see, along with several others:

The Fantasticks: I really hope the stage show version is better. If you insist on checking this out, just watch the Musical Hell episode instead.

Nina: Nina Simone deserved a better biopic, and not just because of the Zoe Saldana casting misfire. Again, just skip to the Musical Hell episode.

Spies in Disguise: I can’t remember if I covered this one before, but I thought it was pretty cute. I’d love to see Will Smith and Tom Holland in a live action movie together.

Strange World: Fresh story, an LGTBQ character that for once wasn’t pandering, and a great environmental message. It deserved better promotion from Disney, but at least now you can watch it on Disney+.

She Said: The story of how Harvey Weinstein got exposed by New York Times reporters (Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan). Despite the flaws, I loved it.

Till: Danielle Deadwyler’s performance as Mamie Till deserves more recognition than she’s been getting this awards season.

The Woman King: I don’t care if it was historically inaccurate, it was still a great movie.

Matilda the Musical: Despite the controversy over Emma Thompson wearing a fat suit to play the Trunchbull, this was still pretty good. Although I still prefer the original movie with Mara Wilson.

WOMEN TALKING; WOMEN NOT TALKING

In theaters today:

Women Talking--In a hardcore religious farming colony, a group of men have been arrested for repeatedly tranquilizing and sexually violating women of all ages, including young children. The attacks have been attributed to ghosts or the Devil, or to "wild female imagination." With the farm to themselves for a couple of days before the men make bail, the minimally educated women sit around the barn and debate whether to forgive the men and carry on as before, to "stay and fight," or to leave the only home they've ever known. They've been told that if they leave, they will forfeit their place in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Written and directed by Sarah Polley from the novel by Miriam Toews--inspired by a real-life 2011 case at a Mennonite community of Canadian origin in Bolivia--this drama opens by calling itself, in subtitle, an act of female imagination. It certainly feels convincing. Superb actresses of all ages, ranging from Judith Ivey, Sheila McCarthy and a particularly forbidding Frances McDormand among the elders to Rooney Mara, Jessie Buckley and Claire Foy among the younger adults to some fine, lively women among the youth, embody the various responses, from seething, vengeful fury to sad acceptance.

Though the tone is inevitably somber, Polley's direction is deft, and she leavens the gloom with some high-spirited moments. Looking in from outside their world, many of us in the audience are likely to feel the most sympathy with the viewpoint of the enraged women who favor a violent response; the idea of a mass exodus from the scene of these atrocities sounds like a solid idea too. Forgiveness and a return to the status quo feels, in this instance, like a very distant third.

The movie also includes a token adult male, a gentle schoolteacher (Ben Wishaw, excellent as usual) not implicated in the attacks, who is allowed to take the minutes of their discussions because he can write. He's been to university outside the colony, and when a census-taker drives by in a car, blaring "Daydream Believer" by the Monkees, he softly sings along. The moment makes a pretty strong case for secular pop culture.

Now streaming:

She Said--This chronicle of the struggle of New York Times reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey to break the Harvey Weinstein case could be seen as a sort of companion piece to Women Talking (Brad Pitt was among the Executive Producers on both). At one point in the investigation Kantor (Zoe Kazan) and Twohey (Carey Mulligan) wonder if anyone will care about the story if it runs. People did--the story, which ran in October of 2017, was not only one of the factors that led to Weinstein's arrest and conviction, it also helped get the #MeToo movement rolling.

The initial response to the movie, directed by Maria Schrader from a script by Rebecca Lenkiewicz (based on Kantor and Twohey's book), was less explosive, however; it bombed in the multiplexes in November. It's worth a watch, though. While it lacks the precision and tension of the greatest of investigative-journalist buddy pictures, All the President's Men, it's still an absorbing account, focusing on the extreme reluctance of the targets of Weinstein's savagery to be first to go on the record by name.

Schrader's direction generates a palpable atmosphere of the gloomy anxiety that life in the 45 era had for many of us, but probably more intensely for women, but we're spared graphic violence. While we hear a skin-crawling audio tape of Weinstein with one of the women, the actual assaults are kept offscreen. Much of the dramatic potency in the film derives from the stunned faces of Kazan and Mulligan as they interview the women; the horror that quietly registers in their eyes effectively takes the place of seeing what they're hearing.

We’re all human beings so everybody should be treated the same.

We need to think about that a lot more.

Vikander won because she was the ingenue of the moment and had had a banner 2014-2015. And there’s the Weinstein of it all…

It’s striking how hard she fell off. She’s pretty irrelevant. She’s still a LV ambassador I believe, but I don’t think she’s done a film of note besides Lara Croft. Maybe that’s by choice since I know she has a baby now?

That's true--I think you could make an It Girl argument for Rooney Mara at that time as well, but the Weinstein machine was behind Alicia that year.

I think that Alicia has suffered from a round of bad luck/poor choices in film roles... Like, I see the logic in some of them. They make sense in theory. The Glorias, for example, could have theoretically been an interesting take on a biopic. Tulip Fever was based off of a well-received novel. But one kind of just went quietly under the radar (in part, I think, because Rose Byrne had recently played Gloria Steinem very well in Mrs. America) and the other was one of those "in theory it would be good but it's just bad" historical dramas. The Green Knight was good and well-received, but her role really wasn't all that notable. It could have been played by a lot of actresses.

Her direct follow-ups to her Oscar win were Jason Bourne, which I think was a misstep because she's just not an action girl, and The Light Between the Oceans, which I actually think she was good in but it just is kind of.... idk. Schlocky? A dreary movie with good performances from her and Rachel Weisz.

I can totally see why she's trying to break into the English speaking market as hard as she is, but tbh I would love to see her do something in Swedish or even Danish again. I think what was interesting about A Royal Affair is that it kind of took what could've been a very florid affair story and focused on the kind of triad relationship happening versus just the two people having the affair. I don't think she's done a lot of truly interesting, different roles since that, aside from Ex Machina.
