Listen now (81 mins) | John McNulty and Adrian Wattenmaker (Lafayette University, NYFA acting) discuss FRANTIC. Perhaps the most dangerous of Harrison Ford's career and a twisted ode to Paris. Cineschooled is a podcast devoted to learning about the craft of filmmaking through the breakdown of a revered film. We are out to teach but we are also not shy of gushing.
Among the great thrillers set in Paris, Frantic has to be at the top of the list. There are other thrillers and action films with great scenes in Paris (Bourne Identity, The Killer), but films like Rififi and Subway are based in the city.
So great John and Adrian. Takes us back to Paris in the 1980s plus so well talked about .
.A need now to watch Frantic again. A wonderful close look at Paris. And what a Fantastic Film. So enjoyed this discussion.
The film holds up as a 90's portrait of Paris and a great thriller. It deserves to be part of the Harrison Ford conversation.
