Couple Indemnity

Izzy's latest choice is the 2007 highly acclaimed Neo Western Crime Thriller No Country for Old Men, that follows three main characters: Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), a Vietnam war veteran and welder who stumbles upon a large sum of money in the desert, Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), a hitman who is sent to recover the money, and Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), a Sheriff investigating the crime.

For Hal's selection this week, we are covering our first Charlie Chaplin movie for the podcast, with The Gold Rush (1925), that we were fortunate enough to view at a London cinema screening in the presence of Paul Merton and Spencer Chaplin.
A prospector goes to the Klondike during the 1890s gold rush in hopes of making his fortune, and is smitten with a girl (Georgia Hale) he sees in a dance hall.
Director: Charlie Chaplin

Izzy has returned to the musical genre this week and has selected the 2018 musical drama Wild Rose starring Jessie Buckley and Julie Walters.

Amidst several difficulties, a single mother of two (Buckley) and a former convict from Scotland, Rose-Lynn, tries to pursue her dream of becoming a country singer.

Director: Tom Harper

Hal has gone big this week and has selected what he deems his favourite film of all-time, with the next movie from our Hitchcock marathon, the haunting and intensely psychological Vertigo (1958).

A former San Francisco police detective (James Stewart) juggles wrestling with his personal demons and becoming obsessed with the hauntingly beautiful woman (Kim Novak) he has been hired to trail, who may be deeply disturbed. 

Director: Alfred Hitchcock

Izzy has selected another classic this week with Sophie's Choice, the 1982 psychological drama based on the novel of the same name by William Styron. Meryl Streep stars as Zofia "Sophie" Zawistowska, a Polish immigrant who moves to America with a dark secret from her past, who shares a boarding house in Brooklyn with her tempestuous lover Nathan (Kevin Kline in his feature-film debut), and young writer Stingo (Peter MacNicol).
