The Curzon Film Podcast

We’ve dedicated an entire episode to the film that, for many many months, has been infecting audiences more than any other. Created by South Korean director Bong Joon Ho, since its debut at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2019,

This week we ask the question ' How long have we been on this rock? Five weeks? Two days? Where are we?' as Willem Dafoe and Robert Eggers join us to spill their beans about their new indescribable not-quite horror film The Lighthouse. Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe are left alone on a grim deserted island to tend to a lighthouse in 1890's New England. As tensions rise between the two men, the boundaries between fantasy and reality begin to blur... For information regarding your data privacy, visit

This week we're joined by the writer-director of Waves, Trey Edward Shults. Waves stars Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Tyler, and 18 year old under pressure to excel from his domineering father, played by Sterling K. Brown. When an injury threatens Tyler's future career, he goes off the rails, and his family struggle to deal with the consequences. For information regarding your data privacy, visit

This week we go deep into the trenches to take a look at Sam Mendes' one-shot wonder, the war drama 1917, and speak to the films lead actors Dean-Charles Chapman and George MacKay, who star as two soldiers given orders to deliver a message across enemy lines that could save thousands of lives. Having won the Golden Globe award for Best Film last weekend, 1917 has announced itself as a major awards contender and one you have to see on the biggest screen possible.

On this week's episode, we see out 2019 with Greta Gerwig's Little Women , and we welcome in 2020 with Taika Waititi's Jojo Rabbit . In  Little Women , Greta Gerwig couldn't have chosen a more beloved classic to adapt for her second feature as director, matched only by the strength of cast she's corralled. Playing the four leads on the verge of womanhood are Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Emma Watson and  Sharp Objects ' Eliza Scanlen. Telling the tale of four daughters of a preacher in post-Civil War Massachusetts as they learn to love and live their own lives, this adaptation emphasises the novel's feminist message of self-determination. Taika Waititi's Jojo Rabbit shouldn't work, but the director pulls it off with panache. Never less than extremely funny, Waititi’s performance as a cracked Adolf Hitler manages to easily overleap any questions of taste, backed up by a hilarious cadre of supporting Nazis (Sam Rockwell, Rebel Wilson and Alfie Allen). This anti-hate satire from the director of  Hunt for the Wilderpeople  and  Thor: Ragnarok  will win you over. Plus, Curzon bring you a Christmas Day treat: you can watch Mikhaël Hers' Amanda on Curzon Home Cinema from 25th December, over a week before it arrives in cinemas. Follow the team on Social Media:
