We're back!
Film critic and friend Charles Bramesco joins Manuela to talk about the inspiring and mind-boggling talent of Nicolas Cage, who since the 80s has been bringing his maximalist acting style to shake up Hollywood. They discuss in particular Martin Scorsese's BRINGING OUT THE DEAD, John Woo's FACE/OFF and Panos Cosmatos's MANDY, and how each of these films reveals a different register for Cage to inhabit and reinvent.
