Chronicles in film

If it’s movies you love your in the right place! In Episode 34 of The Chronicle Film Podcast, Clotilde and Paul review Speak No Evil and Lee.

First film under the microscope is the English language remake of Danish psychological horror thriller Speak No Evil. Originally written and directed by brothers Christian and Mads Tafdrup (Christian onboard as an executive producer of the new version). The story is all about a Danish family who befriends a Dutch family on holiday. They invite the Danish family to an idyllic weekend in the Netherlands. This seemingly perfect plan slowly unravels into their worst nightmare. In the new version, a British family (James McAvoy, Aisling Franciosi) offers an invitation. They invite a London-based American family (McKenzie Davis, Scoot McNairy). They invite them to their old farmhouse in the West Country. Many will ask this question: Is this a like for like remake? Or does director James Watkins (Eden Lake, Woman In Black) twist the original to deliver his own version?

Second and final review for The Chronicle episode 34 is Ellen Kuras’ Lee starring Kate Winslet. Some of you wonder who Lee Miller is? She was one of the pioneering female photographers and war photojournalists of World War 2. She gave us some of the most iconic powerful images from the war. This film is a bit of a personal project for Kate Winslet. She plays Lee, who was a one-time fashion model for Vogue. Lee became a photographer for the same magazine. She faced many barriers, she was a determined woman to get her way in life. Lee focuses on the pre-World War 2 period of her life. During this time, she meets her husband Roland Penrose (Alexander Skarsgard).
