PSP 1974 The White Dawn

1974 was a landmark year for film, a convergence of exciting
international cinema and the original voices of New Hollywood that
still resonates 50 years later. In our new series we invite a
different guest for each episode to choose a 1974 movie to talk
about, ranging from giant blockbusters to minor cult curios and
everything else in between. We start winding down the series with a
great companion piece to our past episodes on "wilderness
adventure" classics Dersu Uzala and Quest for Fire. Filmmaker
Jeremy Workman returns to discuss Philip Kaufman's The White Dawn,
the story of three whalers who become stranded in the Northern
Arctic and end up integrating with an Inuit tribe. There's a lot to
talk about, from Kaufman's status as possibly the most underrated
of 70's directors to Michael Chapman's naturalistic photography,
the film's inspired use of diegetic music, authentic regional
language and frozen landscapes, and how this movie is definitely
not Louis Malle's Black Moon. Jeremy Workman on social media
