  The Cult of Pasolini | How Did Pasolini Think? | Ft: Robert Gordon | the Artists with Suchita #176 16.08.2026 55min

  Who was Pier Paolo Pasolini—and what made him one of the most fascinating, controversial, and uncompromising artists of the 20th century?A poet, filmmaker, writer, intellectual and provocateur, Pasolini approached cinema differently from almost anyone around him. He saw cinema as a "language of reality" and developed a visual grammar shaped by poetry, literature, painting, faces, landscapes, religion and politics.In this episode of The Artists Podcast, we explore how Pasolini thought, created and saw the world with Robert S. C. Gordon, Serena Professor of Italian at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of the British Academy. Gordon is one of the leading scholars of modern Italian literature and cinema, and has written extensively on Pasolini, including the influential study Pasolini: Forms of Subjectivity.What is the central theme of a great artist? How does childhood shape an artist's imagination? Why did Pasolini's lack of conventional film training allow him to develop such a distinctive cinematic language?We explore his relationship with Federico Fellini and Orson Welles, his "cinema of poetry," The Gospel According to St. Matthew, Oedipus Rex, his fascination with faces and landscapes, and the complicated relationship between intellectualism and artistic ego.And finally: Which Pasolini films should Gen Z watch today?This is a conversation about Pasolini—but also about what happens when an artist refuses to fit into the world around him.⏱️ 🎥 Watch the full episode on YouTube & Spotify🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts⭐ If you enjoy The Artists Podcast, please subscribe, follow, rate and review us on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

  The Cult of Pasolini | How Did Pasolini Think? | Ft: Robert Gordon | The Artists with Suchita #clip 14.08.2026 1min

  Pier Paolo Pasolini remains one of cinema’s most fascinating contradictions: poet, filmmaker, writer, intellectual, provocateur—and an artist who refused to fit comfortably into any category.He approached cinema as a poet, not simply as a filmmaker. Without conventional film-school training, he developed a visual language entirely his own, drawing from literature, painting, mythology, religion, politics and the faces of people rarely given space on screen.He worked with—and around—some of the greats of Italian cinema, including Federico Fellini and Orson Welles, while creating films that could be as beautiful as they were disturbing and controversial.His life was as provocative as his cinema. His sexuality, politics and outspoken public persona repeatedly put him at odds with Italian society, while his violent death in 1975 remains surrounded by unanswered questions.Watch the episode to find out.Dropping Soon!Follow @the.artistspodcast#TheArtistsPodcast #Pasolini #PierPaoloPasolini #ItalianCinema #WorldCinema #FilmTheory #CinemaStudies #Cinephile #FilmPodcast #AuteurCinema #FilmHistory

  How was Lynch thinking? | Ft: Todd Mcgowan | The Artists with Suchita #clip 06.07.2026 1min

  In this episode of The Artists Podcast, we dive deep into the mind of David Lynch with acclaimed film scholar Todd McGowan — author of The Impossible David Lynch, a provocative exploration of Lynch’s cinematic language and the impossible, unconscious core of his films.Lynch occupies a rare space between mainstream visibility and independent cinema authenticity — blending the bizarre and the normal, the dreamlike and the narrative, to create films that defy conventional categorization. Whether you’re a filmmaker, cinephile, or lover of the strange, this episode reveals how Lynch thinks — and why his cinema continues to challenge and captivate global audiences.Subscribe  @suchita_filmmaker_podcaster  to stay tuned.#TheArtistsPodcast #DavidLynch #ToddMcGowan #TheImpossibleDavidLynch #FilmTheory #CinemaStudies #IndependentCinema #MainstreamCinema #SurrealCinema #PsychoanalyticFilm #AuteurCinema #FilmScholar #WatchEpisode #YouTubePodcast #FilmDiscussion #Cinephile #MovieTalk #FilmAnalysis

  How was Lynch thinking? | Ft: Todd Mcgowan | The Artists with Suchita TA156 06.07.2026 35min

  In Episode 156, we enter the unsettling, hypnotic world of David Lynch with acclaimed film scholar Todd McGowan, author of The Impossible David Lynch.Lynch is one of cinema’s greatest paradoxes. He worked within Hollywood systems and budgets, yet created films that feel radically independent. From Blue Velvet to Mulholland Drive, from Twin Peaks to Wild at Heart, his cinema resists easy interpretation while remaining deeply watchable.So how did Lynch stay between mainstream cinema and art-house radicality?Todd McGowan unpacks Lynch through Kant, Freud, fantasy theory, and the unconscious — revealing why Lynch’s films are not puzzles to solve, but experiences to undergo. We explore whether Lynch was more classical than we assume, how he erased the “wall” between fantasy and reality, and why feeling — not logic — structures his cinema.This episode is essential for filmmakers, theorists, and anyone fascinated by how cinema can disturb, seduce, and transform an audience.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction01:28 Kant, Freud & Lynch04:20 Erasing the wall (Blue Velvet)06:57 Staying between mainstream & art film (clip)08:15 His most “mainstream” film – Wild at Heart10:01 Godard & Lynch (clip)11:30 Cinema of feeling vs cinema of reason12:20 On Godard’s passing (clip)15:57 Lynch as a traditional Hollywood director?

  The KUBRICK myth | The Artists with Suchita #clip 16.06.2026 1min

  There were, in many ways, two Kubricks: the pre-Spartacus Kubrick and the post-Spartacus Kubrick.The common belief is that once Kubrick became Stanley Kubrick, success followed effortlessly.The reality was very different.Despite becoming one of cinema's most celebrated directors, Kubrick spent much of his career battling rejection, financing challenges, unrealized projects, and the immense pressures of filmmaking.Great artists are often remembered for their successes. What we forget are the disappointments, failures, and resilience that shape the journey.Filmmaking is a high-stress profession. It demands conviction, persistence, and the ability to keep going when the odds are against you.Perhaps that's one of the most important lessons Kubrick leaves behind: talent matters, but resilience matters just as much.🎧 Catch the full conversation with Professor Nathan Abrams on The Artists.Available now on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcasts.🔗 Link in bio.#StanleyKubrick #TheKubrickMyth #TheArtistsPodcast #Filmmaking #Storytelling #CreativeProcess #Cinema #Creativity #Artists #FilmDirector #IndependentFilmmaking #Resilience #NathanAbrams

  How did Stanley Kubrick become one of the greatest storytellers in cinema?It wasn't just talent.It was a lifetime of training his mind—through photography, reading, chess, music, relentless curiosity, and learning how to truly observe the world.Long before he made masterpieces, Kubrick was honing himself as an artist.In this conversation with renowned Kubrick scholar Professor Nathan Abrams, we explore the inner life and creative process behind one of cinema's greatest minds—and what today's artists can learn from it.🎧 The full episode drops tomorrow on Spotify, YouTube & Apple Podcasts.Because understanding great artists isn't about admiring them—it's about learning how they became who they were.#StanleyKubrick #TheArtistsPodcast #Storytelling #Filmmaking #Creativity #Cinema #Artists
