Director Jason Reitman discusses his new film, Saturday Night, with fellow Director Guillermo del Toro in a Q&A at the DGA theater in Los Angeles. In the conversation, he discusses originally conceptualizing the film as a one-take to play out in real time, recording the score live on set with the film's Actor and Composer Jon Batiste, and casting his Actors for how well they understood their characters' deeper interests over their recreations of sketch work. Seen through the eyes of a young Lorne Michaels as he juggles equipment failures, actor fights and producers pushing for reruns, the film follows Lorne and his troupe of trailblazers behind the scenes leading up to the landmark show’s first airing.

Jason Reitman Interview: Director and Co-Writer Ghostbusters: Afterlife Join YHS for our sit-down with Ghostbusters: Afterlife director, Jason Reitman!

In this episode, the team are joined by Curzon's very own programmer Lydia Penke, as well as director Jason Reitman ( Juno, Up in the Air, Tully ) to talk about two of the week's biggest releases: Colette and The Front Runner . Colette is a truly modern, complex woman: a libertine and bisexual, she also made her fortune from her wits and pushed back against the patriarchy. Wash Westmoreland presents an elegant but not sanitised view of turn of the century Paris, where we watch as Colette (Keira Knightley) is seduced and married by notorious rake Willy (Dominic West). Pushed into ghostwriting novels for this charismatic cad, she uses her exuberance to push back against all constrictions placed on her in this rich portrait of a dazzling talent. In The Front Runner , it's 1988 and Gary Hart, played Hugh Jackman, is the likeable and inspirational Democratic nominee, winning hearts and minds on the campaign trail. But he’s unwilling to open up about his family life, and the press unearth explosive details that begin to derail his marriage and his political aspirations. the personal fall out from this tabloid story changed the course of American politics. Discussing the films this week are Steven Ryder, Lydia Penke, Kelly Powell and Jake Cunningham Follow the team on Social Media: @ks_powell - Kelly @jakehcunningham - Jake @SamHowlett_1 - Sam @hydra815 - Steven Produced and Edited by Jake Cunningham Music from Incompetech.com
