On Episode 88 of The Film ‘89 Podcast Steve and Skye are joined by Steven Saunders. So far this year on Film ‘89 we’ve tackled some of the really big films, films of tremendous importance to us as cinephiles and important to the history of cinema, films such as Star Wars, The Godfather and Blade Runner to name but a few. And they don’t come much bigger than the film that’s the focus of this episode as we finally tackle legendary British director David Lean and his monumental 1962 historical epic cum war film, Lawrence of Arabia, a film that was nominated for 10 Academy Awards and walked away with 7, including Best Picture and Best Director and in the 6 decades that have followed, has gained a hallowed status as one of the greatest films ever made.
