Reece Beaumont (R&amp;M: A Conversation On Cinema and The Cinematique Podcast) and Leslie Pitt (Fatal Attractions podcast and Hustlers of Culture podcast) return to Flixwatcher remotely to review Reece’s choice Portrait of a Lady on Fire.Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a 2019 French historical drama written and directed by Céline Sciamma. Marianne (Noémie Merlant), is a painter and teacher who has been commissioned to paint a portrait of Héloïse (Adèle Haenel) who is to be married off to a Milanese nobleman. Héloïse has refused to pose for all portraits and was previously living in a convent and is to be married in place of her older sister who committed suicide. Despite the initial frostiness, they develop a short but passionate relationship.Despite the high regard for Portrait of a Lady on Fire the recommendability scores were tricky as a French lesbian period drama is a difficult film to recommend to everyone. However, Flixwatcher were more generous with their recommendability and scores in the other categories were high to give an overall score of 4.25.

Episode # 288 Portrait of a Lady on Fire with Reece Beaumont and Leslie Pitt

Oh man, are you going to love this interview today. I got a chance to sit down with Leslie Pitt Schneider: lawyer, former executive, writer, lover of life and founder of Project Lolo. I met Leslie years ago as she was embarking on the journey of starting her own non-profit and leaving her corporate job. She talks about the toxicity of her job, how it started to affect her self worth and health and how none of it was worth it. Leslie tells us her story about losing her limb at age of 6 and having to live with a prosthetic – which is now a major inspiration for Project Lolo, which helps children who need orthopedic care or assistive mobility devices because of congenital deformities, illness or injuries.  We also talk about using the word special abilities and not disabilities and her new book that is meant to inspire children to own their uniqueness. I love this woman and I love her work. This interview is great for anyone who wants to feel inspired that their dream matters and learn how to go after it.

Leslie Pitt Schneider: How a childhood accident motivated her to follow her purpose and help children all over the world

The focus of this episode is Ernest Dickerson's still underrated 1992 drama Juice, featuring a young (pre-fame/pre-legendary) Tupac Shakur. The live portion of the show was recorded a little while back at Falmouth University's School of Film &amp; Television but is being released now due to the episode not being based around release schedules, as the previous Claire Denis episode was. The timing though is fortuitous, with Childish Gambino's This is America song and music video being released earlier this week and bringing to the fore again questions around black identity, gun violence and black male bodies.  In the episode Neil and Dario discuss the term 'black cinema', the evolution and status of black filmmaking in American and British cinema and how complex such a discussion is from an acknowledged white standpoint.  The episode also features a clip of Dario's deep discussion about film criticism and contemporary film culture with friend of the podcast Simran Hans, which can be found in full over on our Patreon site for subscribers, as well as Neil's chat with film critic and podcaster Leslie Byron Pitt about representation in filmmaking and film criticism alongside as Basic Instinct and erotic thrillers as Leslie is one quarter of the excellent Fatal Attractions podcast.  Links: Ernest Dickerson on The Treatment podcast Angelica Bastien on Odds Against Tomorrow, a brilliant film noir about racism Wakanda Forever: Black Panther and the power of representation, by Leslie Byron Pitt (for Media Diversified)
