It’s an exciting mix of entertaining films and filmmakers on today’s BEHIND THE LENS as we turn our attention to two very different films, both of which I wholeheartedly enjoyed and recommend – OPERATION NAPOLEON and RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE. While both films are adapted from best-selling novels, one filmmaker is a much-lauded veteran Icelandic director while the other makes the leap from the stage as a Tony-winning playwright to the screen with his feature directorial debut.
First up, take a listen to my exclusive interview with director OSKAR THOR AXELSSON as he talks about his new film, the slow-burn thriller OPERATION NAPOLEON. Then listen to director and co-writer MATTHEW LOPEZ who makes his directorial feature debut with the breezy, joyous and fun RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE.
