Richard Brody Picks Three Favorite Clint Eastwood Films

Über diese Folge

<p>With seven decades in film and television, Clint Eastwood is undeniably a Hollywood institution. Emerging first as a star in Westerns, then as the embattled cop in the Dirty Harry films, the ninety-five-year-old filmmaker has directed forty features and appeared in more than sixty. The film critic Richard Brody <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/books/under-review/clint-highlights-the-artistic-modernity-of-an-old-school-man">just reviewed</a> a new <a href="https://www.harpercollins.com/products/clint-shawn-levy?variant=43110377553954">biography</a> of Eastwood. “What fascinated me above all are the origins of Clint Eastwood-ness—the way he had an aura that preceded him before his career in movies.”  Brody joins David Remnick to pick three of the films that set Eastwood apart as an artist: “Play Misty for Me,” his 1971 directorial début; “Bird,” his bio-pic about Charlie Parker; and “Sully,” starring Tom Hanks as the heroic pilot Chesley Sullenberger.</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
