Show Notes

Continuing our countdown to this year’s Oscars and behind the scenes look at The Holdovers, we are treating you with a longer episode this time. Áron conducted two interviews regarding Alexander Payne’s heartfelt dramedy focusing on the technicalities that helped the film’s creators achieve its unique, yet authentic ‘70s look.

First you can hear Eigil Bryld discuss the cinematography of the film, for which he just won an Independent Spirit Award. By the way you can also find his work in Martin McDonagh’s In Bruges or last year’s comedy hit No Hard Feelings starring Jennifer Lawrence.

Then, Eigil is followed by the film’s production designer, Ryan Warren Smith, whose previous projects include the 2015 horror, Green Room or the third season of HBO’s True Detective.
