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.
While making Ali back in 2001, Jamie Foxx put in Michael Mann’s ear the idea of doing a cinematic version of his 80’s TV show Miami Vice. With Collateral garnering some pretty good box office numbers and critical notices, Mann gathered his now Oscar winning actor Foxx and respected actor Colin Farrell as Ricardo Tubbs and James Crockett, respectfully. But a now ego driven Foxx and harsh shooting conditions combined for a rough overall shoot, with only The Keep competing as the most acrimonious production ship Mann has ever had to steer. So how’d he do?
Once again join myself, Matt, and Mike as we look at 2006’s Miami Vice, the eighth film of Michael Mann’s directing resume. Can Mann continue the pretty good run of films he has put together? What about what the next few retrospectives are going to be? Listen below to find out!
