The Chronicle

Welcome the latest episode of The Chronicle, the official Podcast for The Peoples Movies and episode 021. Fo this episode is a BFI London Film Festival special with reviews of Killers Of A Flower Moon, Poor Things and All Of Us Are Strangers.

There is a reason this episode was slightly delayed, is we have a co-host joining our editor Paul Devine. A big hello welcome to Clotilde Chinnici who writes for various websites as well as The Peoples Movies. The Set up will slightly alter, little bit longer most of all reviews of the latest films and shows in our cinemas or streaming on our small screens.

First review is a film now in UK and Irish cinemas and Martin Scorsese Killers Of The Flower Moon. Epic crime drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone and Robert DeNiro. Based on the real life murders of Osage people across Oklahoma, USA in the 1920s. DiCaprio is Ernest Burkhart a man torn apart with his romance with Mollie (Lily Gladstone). Also with William Hale (Robert DeNiro) who has plans for the land the oil flourishes.

Next we reviewed Yorgos Lanthimos surreal fantasy Poor Things starring Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo. Based on the Alasdair Gray book of the same name. The incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Dafoe). Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents.

Final full review is All Of Us Are Strangers the new drama from Andrew Haigh (Weekend) starring Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal. Set in London, Adam (Scott) has a chance encounter with his neighbour Harry (Mescal). Slowly the relationship develops into something romantic memories drag Adam back to his childhood home where his parents seem to be living, despite dying 3 decades ago.
