The Color Purple & Ferrari

  • Summary

  • "The Color Purple" began as an Alice Walker novel, was turned into a dramatic film by Steven Spielberg, then turned into a Broadway musical, and now has been turned into a movie musical by director Blitz Bazawule. That gives HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano plenty to talk about in this podcast episode. This crowd-pleasing film also pleases our two critics, even though Mike can't stop himself from expressing a few quibbles. Marie and Mike also discuss "Ferrari," about Italian race car designer Enzo Ferrari preparing for a race in 1957. Although veteran director Michael Mann brings his usual technical finesse to the story, there is an ironically slow pace for a racing movie. Marie and Mike disagree about Adam Driver's performance as Ferrari but agree that Penelope Cruz is terrific as Ferrari's wife.
