Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Pan (2015): 2 lines

  1. career (career) · through Darkest Hour (2017), which they shot: Pan ⇒ Darkest Hour (the maker said so: Wright, on the show). Wright says Pan's failure and his own doubt are what made the doubt-ridden Churchill script resonate.
    “I had made a film called Pan, which had lost about $100 million, and had been slated, really, by most everyone, and I was suffering my own crisis of confidence”

  2. career (career) · through Darkest Hour (2017), which they shot: Pan ⇒ Darkest Hour (the maker said so: Wright, on the show). After Pan he decided he was not cut out for big studio movies and wanted to return to his wheelhouse.
    “I realized after Pan that I wasn't cut out necessarily for the kind of big studio movies, and I wanted to return to something that was closer to my wheelhouse.”

Andrei Tarkovsky: 1 line

    “as Tarkovsky put it, sculpting in time.”

Anna Karenina: 1 line

  1. contrast (contrast) · through Darkest Hour (2017), which they shot: Anna Karenina ⇒ Darkest Hour (the maker said so: Wright, on the show). Darkest Hour's stripped-back look is a reaction against Pan and Anna Karenina.
    “as a kind of reaction to what I've been doing before, including Pan, but also, you know, Anna Karenina and movies like that.”

Max Richter: 1 line

  1. craft (craft) · through Darkest Hour (2017), which they shot: Max Richter ⇒ Darkest Hour (the maker said so: Wright speaking of his own film on the show). Wright says he wanted a cinematic equivalent of the minimalist music he was listening to, including Max Richter.
    “I was also listening to a lot of minimalist music at the time, Max Richter and Niels Fram and, of course, the great Philip Glass and so on.”
