Countess Anastasia “Nastenka” Hendrikova and Catherine Schneider, faithful servants of the Romanov family, Tobolsk 1917-18
The two women were very close friends with Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. Catherine taught her sister Ella Russian when she first arrived in the country and did the same with Alix. Nastenka was a long time friend of the family. They faithfully followed the family into captivity from Tsarskoe Selo and to Tobolsk. On their arrival in Yekaterinburg, they were imprisoned and eventually violently executed. They are remembered today as faithful servants that stayed with the family no matter what.

222 - Away We Go
After winning Best Picture and Best Director for his zeitgeist-seizing debut feature American Beauty, Sam Mendes instantly became a director who generate awards chatter no matter the project. In 2009, he took a noticeable tonal downshift with Away We Go, a minor key comedy about a young pregnant couple on a road trip to decide where they want to grow their roots. Despite praise for Maya Rudolph’s performance as a soon-to-be mother still grieving the untimely death of her parents and John Krasinski opposite her as her jokester partner, the film didn’t succeed as summer counter-programming and mostly forgotten in the season to come.
This episode, we talk about the harsh reviews that found the film more judgmental than reflective and Rudolph’s understated and absorbing performance. We also talk about Alexi Murdoch’s soundtrack, possibly semi-autobiographical screenwriter marrieds Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, and the film’s bursting ensemble of fantastic character actors from Melanie Lynskey, Allison Janney, and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Topics also include this year’s New York Film Critics Circle award winners, Mendes’ pivot to Bond, and the lure of Montreal. Don’t forget to get submissions in for our upcoming mailbag episode!
