Speaking of Greek mythology movies remember when they cast The Rock as Hercules and then made a movie about Hercules being a fraud in a traveling circus act

This year, Walker is among the most promising new filmmakers in Cannes. “How to Have Sex” is a vivid, assured drama about 16-year-old Tara (Mia McKenna-Bruce, also a revelation) who travels with her best friends (Lara Peake, Enva Lewis) from England to Crete for a spring break-style vacation. Tara, like many male protagonists before her, wants to lose her virginity.

But while “How to Have Sex” details the hard-partying, EDM-thumping hedonism of teenagers on a European holiday, it approaches young sex far more honestly and disquietingly than any similar coming-of-age film. Little is black and white in Tara’s experiences, which are boozy, bewildering, isolating and devastating.

For Walker, it’s a profoundly personal story that partly draws from her own experiences, about which she’s courageously frank.

“I was assaulted when I was 16 while I was out drinking in London,” she says. “Part of why I made it was to talk about that and talk about how it doesn’t get talked about. It can suck the air out of a room but it shouldn’t. If so many people have experienced it, we should be talking about it openly.”

Walker grew up in London and first fell into filmmaking by documenting her older brother’s punk band. Her parents both wanted to be filmmakers and are still at it. Watching their movies not get made, she says, gave her her hustle. “It’s my whole life,” Walker says of filmmaking.

As a teenager, she went on trips like the one in “How to Have Sex,” to Majorca and Ibiza. While Walker remembers them fondly (“I’ve got some amazing pictures”), she began to question some of the things she saw. After her short “Good Thanks, You?” made it into Cannes’ Critics Week during the virtual 2020 edition of the festival, she wrote a 50-page script, leaving lots of room for improvisation.

Walker made authenticity a priority. Before filming, she held workshops around the U.K. with 16-year-old girls and slightly older guys to ask them about sex and their interpretations of what she had written.

“Everything from what music are you into, what films are you watching to what’s your concept of consent?” Walker says. “We’d say, ‘Here’s a scene from the film. How does that read to you?’ And none of them recognized it as assault.”

After spending months raising money, Walker shot “How to Have Sex” in Greece. Some of the most challenging days were immediate. Day two required hundreds of extras. Walker was throwing up on set.

“Day three, I decided either I’m going to make myself ill and be really anxious throughout the entire shoot, or I have to enjoy this process,” she says. “And I just managed to flip a switch in my head.”

“I honestly had the best time of my life,” Walker continues. “I don’t know if that’s a combination of factors. You’re on a Greek island, with a really young crew, in a party town. I don’t know if it’s that or whether it’s your first film. But I would do it again in a heartbeat.”

i really really like the use of insert shots in jackie brown; they're super stylish and they're cut in at just the right places to make the scenes snap by. they remind me of malcolm x, where we see a close-up of a dictionary page as malcolm and his fellow prisoner read the definition of "black" in the dictionary

ah i see. makes more sense then

apologies for another possibly dumb question but what's the difference between a guild and a union? i thought the two were the same but the former just sounded cooler?

Probably could use someone who knows the nuances better but cop 'unions' are basically guilds.

Some good parts, including Jimmy Caan and his all-time-great heel turn, but as evidenced by the clip earlier in the thread some TERRIBLE compositing. Not just compared to modern stuff but even for the time, I remember seeing it in the theater and talking about about how the compositing was so bad that the alligators looked transparent.

Haha, Walt treating Hank like a therapist.

Honestly, it's amazing that Walt got this far without any muscle, and I'm counting Mike.

Is that the Shamwow guy?

E: Haha, Walt threw a tantrum because he got called out on his egotism and Mike dies a pointless death.
