344 - Things We Lost in the Fire

At the beginning of the aughts, both Halle Berry and Benicia Del Toro were riding high on Oscar wins. In 2007, they both paired up for Things We Lost in the Fire, a melodrama from Danish director Susanne Bier. From a script by Collateral Beauty scribe Allan Loeb, the film cast Berry as a grieving wife who invites her dead husband's addict best friend (played by Del Toro) to live in their home. Reviews were respectable and the film was widely predicted at the start of the season, but after bombing at the box office, it quickly evaporated from voters' memories.

This episode, we discuss the film as emblematic of a dying breed of melodrama and its narrative proximity to the film both actors won their Oscars for. We also talk about Bier's multiple films in the International Feature race, Del Toro's few film roles between Oscar and this, and the critical drubbing Berry faced for Catwoman.

Topics also include poster fonts, The Velvet Underground needle drops, and Agnès Varda and Toni Morrison watching Sin City.

I want to thank @samlev00 for patiently working with me on my six minute monologue and everyone on the crew for making me feel safe as the part called for full frontal nudity. "
