Ep. 57 Abel Ferrara 2010 To 2020

Abel Ferrara has been making films for nearly 50 years without
compromising his unique, provocative, unflinchingly
autobiographical vision. In this episode we invited special guests
Marcus Pinn and John Frankensteiner to discuss Ferrara's four
narrative films from the last decade: his farewell to New York City
in 4:44 Last Day on Earth, his return to a very different kind
of city in Welcome to New York, a chronicle of the last days
of a filmmaking legend with Pasolini and the brutal
self-examination that is his latest film, the Rome-set roman à
clef Tommaso starring Willem Dafoe. Marcus previously
appeared on an episode of the podcast The Wrong Reel to discuss
Ferrara's full filmography. We pick up the thread here by
talking about how this particular Ferr-era of 2010 to 2019 fits
into the scope of his long career, his evolution as an artist, his
past and his future. The Pink Smoke site:
