The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 16: Miami Vice
The Uncut Gems PodcastThe Uncut Gems Podcast is a show where a bunch of like-minded individuals gather around a virtual table to discuss films that for one reason or another have become forgotten. Tongues pressed firmly in cheek, the team don their film historian top hats and rant from sedentary positions to hopefully conclude whether the film in question deserves to be covered by sands of time or if it is a classic in dire need of attention.
In this episode of the show we venture back to 2006 and re-appraise Michael Mann's Miami Vice. Over the course of this long-winded and nuance-rich discussion we break down Michael Mann's directorial style, opine over his influence on cinema, share our own memories connected to the filmmaker and - most importantly - take a critical look at the film itself. We ponder over its multiple production issues, on-set animosities and other adversities that undoubtedly influenced the shape of the film, we discuss Mann's shift towards digital filmmaking and wonder if it amplifies or detracts from his characteristically immediate filmmaking flavour. For all that and more, tune in to the episode and join our conversation!
