1917 & American Beauty discussion with Leonora Anzaldúa (English)

Just in time before the Oscars 2020, my good friend Leonora joined me to discuss one of the contenders of the night vying for Best Picture, 1917. We also discuss Sam Mendes's debut feature film American Beauty, 20 years after it won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Aside from that, we also talk about rotting corpses, Sundance Festival, rose petals, a single continuous shot, the 2020 Women's March in LA, the awe-inspiring cinematography of Conrad Hall and Roger Deakins, and how an actor's real-life background can color the way you see a film 20 years later.
