Eavesdropping at the Movies: 459 – A Big Bold Beautiful Journey

October 14, 2025UncategorizedA Big Bold Beautiful Journey, Colin Farrell, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, fantasy, Kogonada, Margot Robbie, romanticNotesonFilm1

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, directed by former video essayist Kogonada, is beautiful to look at and very likeable, but derivative and ultimately unsatisfying. We discuss its lighting, its attitude towards people’s histories and the memories that live with them, and why a rubbish script Mike once wrote makes him particularly keen to sneer at it.

Listen on the players below, Apple Podcasts, Audible, Spotify, or YouTube Music.

 

With José Arroyo of First Impressions and Michael Glass of Writing About Film.

Film

I'm interested in film, writing, culture, and history of thought. This blog is mostly about film but is also a means to develop, share, and engage in a conversation on any or all of these topics.
