Simon Farnaby talks about his new film The Phantom of the Open, about Maurice Flitcroft, who managed to gain entry to The British Open Golf Championship Qualifying in 1976 and subsequently shot the worst round in Open history, becoming a folk hero in the process.
Mark also reviews Paris 13th District, starring Noémie Merlant in Jacques Audiard’s latest; Amazon Prime’s Master, starring Regina Hall, about two African American women who begin to share disturbing experiences at a predominantly white college in New England; Ti West’s X, about a group of young filmmakers in 1979 who set out to make an adult film in rural Texas; Deep Water, about a well-to-do husband, played by Ben Affleck, who allows his wife, played by Ana de Armas, to have affairs in order to avoid a divorce and becomes a prime suspect in the disappearance of her lovers; and Nanni Moretti’s Three Floors, the story of three families living in three apartments in the same development.
Plus Simon and Mark talk through all the films on current release.
