298 - A Perfect World

Early in the 1990s, two westerns emerged as Best Picture winners when the genre was first thought dead: Kevin Costner's Dances with Wolves and Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven. In 1993, those heralded actor-directors would unite for A Perfect World, casting Costner as an escaped convict who takes a small boy hostage and teaches him about masculinity, with Eastwood as the lawman in pursuit while also taking the directing reigns. That pedigree missed the Academy on this round, however, as the film's downer telling was a poor fit to the holiday season to which it was launched.

This episode, we talk about the early poor reception for Costner's new saga Horizon and our differing opinions on this film's approach to masculinity. We also talk about Eastwood's output in the 1990s, Laura Dern's underserved role as a criminologist, and how the film disappointed for denying audiences an onscreen showdown between its male stars.

Topics also include Schindler's List as the 1993 undeniable frontrunner, Costner's sex appeal, and the Cahiers du Cinema.
