DP/30: The Oral History Of Hollywood

10 жыл бұрын

Amma Asante won the BAFTA Most Promising Newcomer award in 2004 for her first film, A Way of Life. It took her 7 long years to find the story of Belle and Bette, two beauties in a portrait, given equal standing, even though it was during the era of slavery in England. She found her Belle in Gugu Mbatha-Raw, who you may not recognize from Undercovers, Touch, or Larry Crowne right off the bat. They talked to David Poland about the process, the film that emerged, and their lives in the film business.

I can't even explain how so completely awe-inspiring this is as a black, female film student. I'm basically running around looking for everything I can consume on the film. Thanks for this!

I could listen to them talk for a really long time, apparently. Was already familiar with and a fan of Gugu, and Amma has a fantastic energy about her. What a beautiful, charming pair of ladies.

paintings in that century , were like how films are now- they were the principal art form but also reflective of the society , and also used to manipluate societies mores. so to see a film about social standing, about a painting, which was a bout a social standing at the time. very appropriate..

Thank You Amma so much for making this movie! I loved everything about it. The themes of race, social standing, wealth, gender, etc. Life is complicated and this movie portrays that. It's dethroned my top five movies and is now my new favorite movie ever. LOVE it!

Beautiful story. I love the film. For me it reveals the profound role that interracial people have played in the war against slavery and racial injustice around the world. They are the unsung heroes. I particularly loved the film score.

Agree that this was great and although the Director talked more than Gugu, it was appropriate for the questions asked.

Why do American's think everything has to be about them? What has this movie got to do with America? America isn't front and centre of the world. What decent period drama could ever come out of America?

I find it revealing DP/30 failed to acknowledge Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Belle) and Amma Asante (Director) in the title of this video interview unlike they did in their other video titles.
