Four Favorites with Fran Hoepfner: classical kings, theater queens and kissing socialists

“I am fed up to the teeth with all these old, dead legends.” Writer and classical music fan Fran Hoepfner joins Gemma and Mia to talk us through her four favorite films on Letterboxd: Miloš Forman’s Amadeus; Merchant-Ivory’s A Room With a View; Mike Leigh’s Topsy-Turvy and Kelly Reichardt’s Certain Women.

Plus: why we can’t stop talking about TÁR (and what Fran would love to hear Lydia conduct next); the political and economic realities of creating art; why the world needs more pink; what cinephilia owes to The Simpsons; Daniel Day-Lewis’s finest underdog; our love for Simon Callow; Helena Bonham-Carter on all the kissing in A Room With a View; being unapologetic period-film fans; our favorite Mike Leigh players; the community of theater; when will we enter the Lily Gladstone rom-com-lead era?; the joys of Magic Mike XXL; and a brief meeting of the Jude Law thirst society.
