This week on Someone Else’s Movie, I land me a big ‘un: Whit Stillman, the Oscar-nominated writer and director whose distinctive voice helped define American indie cinema, and who is also one of my favorite people to interview. (Here we are talking about Damsels in Distress at TIFF 2011, and about Love & Friendship earlier this spring.)
Whit was really enthusiastic about doing the podcast; in fact, he was so enthusiastic he couldn’t settle on just one film, so he programmed an RKO Studios double-feature of The Gay Divorcée and Wagon Master, with detours into a few other things. We recorded it in his sister’s apartment on the Upper East Side when I was in New York last month, and I’m delighted to be able to share it with you today.
Grab it on iTunes, Google Play and Stitcher, or straight from the web. And enjoy! You’ve earned it, I’m sure.
