i'm back with our film dr scott roxboro scott it looks like there was a great year for european cinema i'm a little embarrassed to say that i haven't seen any of these movies yeah but of course the barest obviously we have blocked out across most of europe and that's case most the world so a lot of these films never even made it into indiscernible because cinemas were shut which is actually why the european film awards are extremely important this year because this is a chance to really shine a light on on some of these movies that maybe got maybe got overlooked and as you say it's. a great great year for european sort of 2020 ok so the technical awards have already been announced but there are the really big awards best actor best actress best film those are going to be announced saturday night germany already has one if a with berlin i'm excited about any chance of another yeah i think the best chance for jimmy to win another day is in the best actress category because you got 2 german actions nominee 2 by favorite german actresses i think either could win you've got nina hoss she's

that's got more in his legacy now with scott roxboro from culture hi scott you are in bonn right now which is germany's former capital and like ira had actually a special connection to that city tell us about that yes hi yeah john kerry was stationed here as a spy. undercover at the british embassy and they have a great connection to the city of course he said one of his famous novels a small town in germany here in bonn and. really close connections to germany and even to the german language and he studied german and he gave that trade on to one of his most famous characters george smiley and various of his novels even the fact that a few years ago he received the good medal for contributions to the german language and for international cooperation so i think it's particularly appropriate speaking about john le carre from from this town and ball on where he had which he had great affection for how would you describe his literary legacy. yeah i think margaret atwood put it best when she said. kerry's works are key to understanding the 2nd half of the 20th century i mean he basically

joining me to talk about the impact of the pandemic on culture is do you know what is on scott roxboro scott you are our foam expert let's cut to the chase how bad of a year has this been for the movie industry being catastrophic i mean you could almost say it's the worst year ever for the film industry i mean it's the industry this year has done worse than did during the depression the great depression worse than the world wars i mean the 2nd world war there were bombs falling in london there were bombs falling here in berlin but the cinemas were still open this year that the cinemas down almost around around around the world and you've seen some innovation in theaters trying to make do i mean we saw drive in theaters have a real boom during the pandemic which was which was nice to see a sort of nostalgia act returned to the drive ins but that's just not enough to compensate for really the billions that were lost in box office this year and i mean really since the start of cinema over a century ago the industry's never gone through this kind of crisis before it's almost brought to the

all right i'm joined now by her film scott roxboro scott so the nominations are being announced in february the awards in april but already it looks like this could be the 1st best picture oscar for and netflix movie but do you think that it will be. yeah i'm not quite sure i mean netflix has come really close before to winning the top prize winning best picture oscar i mean 2 years ago with they were within a hair's breath of it but this year i think they're going to also fail the final hurdle i mean they've got a lot of great films of the running this year but i think i think it's going to be no matter land. is in my opinion the best film of 2020 and i think it's going to win best picture oscar and i gently put money on frances mcdormand winning her 3rd oscar her 3rd best actress oscar for this role i mean she plays a woman literally on the edge of society and her performance is astounding i mean most of unvarnished real and powerful performance i've ever seen from our and i think everybody else can just basically pack up and go home because frances mcdormand has this one in the back ok s

and here to talk gorillas and this musical experiment my colleague scott roxboro scott how are these live performances actually going to work yeah it's seems incredible i mean what they're going to do is they're going to do 3 live performances from london from their studio there and they're going to stagger them so like one early the morning on saturday 1 in the evening saturday one afternoon sunday so that they can reach for the entire world the people be awake could watch them for around the world and they're going to be really a combination of all and and watch you'll have. 14 piece a grill as band lee led by damon albarn in the studio performing live i mean have those animated characters which are the official. bers of the band they'll be there visually being performing and then you have people who contributed to this new album there's a song machine who'll be piped in including john and bill to be piped in as holograms so they'll be you'll be able to see the image of them while they perform it sounds completely incredible i have no idea really whether it's super trippy but of co

joining me now to talk about let them all talk is you know his movie guy scott roxboro scott this actually looks like the sybase amazing cast it looks like kind of a small movie for director i steven soderbergh yeah yeah of course that's sort of makes is maybe a big movie the ocean 11 series you know magic mike you know but in between those huge movies he likes to make really small experimental films he's done a lot of these type of boobies which are. basically with no budget where he shoots everything himself i mean this film is say we shot 2 weeks on this cruise across the atlantic he shot all by himself like rolling in a wheelchair with with with with with his camera improvise a script and essentially he does it for almost no budget he gets these great actors to work with them you know meryl streep diana west you know. candice bergen they simply work for nothing just so they can be on the project to be part of it and and this film is getting great reviews i mean it shows you maybe you don't need a 100000000 dollars to make a great movie you just need a great director great actors and yo

will look like our film experts scott roxboro joins me from bond hello scott glad to see you there's been a lot of speculation over how the belly nala will handle the festival next year what can you tell us about the plans for 2021. yeah. there are still some details to have be officially announced by the barely nala but i think we can give the sort of the general outline of what looks like is going to happen next year basically so the 2 main parts of the festival the main competition which is where the the big films that premier at the berlin festival and the film market which is where the films are new films are being bought and sold by people in the film industry those will happen but they're going to go online only and they're probably going to happen a bit later so instead of late february as was planned they're going to go into early march. otherwise what's going to seems like was going to happen with the belly now is they're going to move the rest of the festival in a sort of stripped down version to the summer and have a in person festival but much much later in the early sum

r i've lived bring in a film expert scott roxboro who's been following the virtual awards ceremony hello to use scott so and it surprises this year at the wards. not so much i mean we're couple of minutes away from the best film but i'd be a tear credibly surprised if it isn't another round thomas but the bugs a film which has been the big winner so far it's almost swept this year's awards and it's a truly amazing film i mean this is like probably my favorite film of the year as you mentioned it's a story about a 4 middle age high school teachers sucked in sort of a midlife crisis to decide the solution is to really start drinking heavily sounds like it's a special comedy but it really is this is actually a touching look. at sort of the meaning of life and about in for a single invoicing life is both a stark and light aspect i love this movie and i think it's really the kind of movie that maybe we need right now especially in these dark times was truly is a a life forming film an ascot then would you say this was also your favorite film in this festival or did any other film stand out fo
