For the first retrospective of 2019, I wanted to take the Aftertaste into realms it hadn’t been in. Yes we have covered a variety of franchises and film series. But one thing we haven’t done is focus on the resume of one filmmaker and one filmmaker only. Who better to do this with than the master of the ‘ultimate man film’, Michael Mann. With a wide variety of films and a meticulous style that has attempted to be replicated but has never been duplicated, Mann presents quite a set of films to look at. In order to do so, we once again brought in Michael Guarnieri from the Hannibal Lecter Retrospective to do what he had originally contacted me to do to begin with. A Michael Mann Retrospective.
The nine year detour of biographical films and docudramas which Michael Mann’s career took after the success of his crime drama Heat ended in 2004 with his return to the drama called Collateral. With a script which floated around Hollywood for years, Mann did uncredited rewrites and took the original plan of Russell Crowe and Adam Sandler starring off the table in favor of putting his old friend Jamie Foxx and huge Hollywood star Tom Cruise in their roles. Did all these moves add up to a rewarding viewing experience?
Join myself, Mike, and Matt as we continue to truck on through director Michael Mann’s filmography with Collateral, and stay tuned to this space as we only have three more to go!
