273 - Under the Tuscan Sun (Patreon Selects)
This week, our Patreon Selects episodes continue and they're staying in Europe! One of our sponsors has selected for us an Oscar nomination follow-up star vehicle for the divine Diane Lane, 2003's Under the Tuscan Sun. Loosely adapted from Frances Mayes' memoir, the film follows Lane as a new divorce gifted a Tuscan vacation who decides to feel the rain on her skin (no one else can feel it for her! only she can let it in!) and buys a Tuscan home to uproot her life. Fresh off an Unfaithful Best Actress nomination, the film launched in the fall but was quickly reduced to romcom fare unworthy of awards.
This episode, we talk about Lane's career leading up to the critical groundswell that resulted in her Oscar nomination. We also talk about Lindsay Duncan going all La Dolce Vita, contemporary production design, and the 2003 Golden Globes Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy lineup.
Topics also include being Gay and Away at the Taco Bell hotel, Grey's Anatomy, and the incoming Oscar nominations!
