305 - Peterloo (with Fran Hoepfner)

With the upcoming return of Mike Leigh to cinemas with Hard Truths, we invited writer and Fran Mag creator Fran Hoepfner to join us to talk about his last theatrical effort, 2019's Peterloo. The film tells the story of the buildup to the Peterloo massacre, in which years of political movement to get parliamentary representation for the people of Manchester resulted in bloodshed. Told with the attention to detail that has long been Leigh's trademark, the film had a cold fall festival response in 2018, which led American distributor Amazon to punt the film to an unceremonious 2019 release.

This week, we dive into the film's underrated and underexamined merits and what contributed to its unfair reception. We also talk about our anticipation for Hard Truths, this film's lack of marquee Leigh players, and some of Leigh's other undervalued films.

Topics also include the film's political timeliness, Amy Raphael's Mike Leigh on Mike Leigh, and Leigh on the THR Director Roundtable.

My Martin K Blackwood friend also has introduced me to Maxine Peake's portrayal of Hamlet and I'd like to say...oh my god. She's giving Daisy Tonner if she were more self-reflective.
