Episode 247: Art of the con with The Grifters | Silver Screen Video

In this episode of our movie podcast, we dive deep into The
Grifters (1990), Stephen Frears' stylish neo-noir crime thriller
based on Jim Thompson's novel. We discuss the central trio of
characters—Roy (John Cusack), a streetwise grifter with a
deep-seated mistrust of others; Lilly (Annette Bening), a
seductive and manipulative con woman; and his mother, the sharp
and cynical Iris (Anjelica Huston), who is caught in the web of
deceit spun by both. This character study is as much about
emotional manipulation and familial tension as it is about the
art of the con.
