266 - The Nest
We who loved his debut Martha Marcy May Marlene (see previous episode!) waited eagerly for director Sean Durkin's follow-up feature while he worked in television and produced other films. That sophomore feature came almost a decade later with The Nest. Starring Carrie Coon and Jude Law, the film follows a married couple who move to England to follow the husband's finance career, only to quickly get consumed by financial woes. The film also returned Durkin to the Sundance Film Festival... and then the pandemic happened.
This episode, we talk about Durkin's upcoming The Iron Claw and Carrie Coon's work in theatre and on The Leftovers. We also discuss how the film dabbles delicately in psychological horror, Jude Law's playing pathetic men to perfection, and the 2020 Sundance Film Festival lineup.
Topics also include the National Board of Review's Top 10 Independent Films of 2020, Durkin's work on Dead Ringers, and IFC Films.

Garrow: My lord, it has long been observed true at Tyburn, that while in every other region of the hanged man’s stretched and nervous body the vital sparks were entirely extinguished, in those other areas in the centrical and critical parts, that Mr Cotswara had in mind, the symptoms of life and vigour were …. expressly evident!
Judge Buller: The cock……. was upstanding!?
