Amanda Knox And Grace Van Patten Spoke Often While Filming Hulu Series
Grace Van Patten delivers a remarkable performance portraying Amanda Knox in the new Hulu series about Knox's fight against an Italian legal system that believed she was involved in the brutal murder of her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, on November 1, 2007. Knox was wrongfully convicted later that year and spent nearly four years in prison for a crime she didn't commit. The American college student was studying abroad in Perugia, Italy, at the time and was convicted alongside her Italian boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, in 2009. They were both fully exonerated by Italy's Supreme Court in 2015. Now, a decade later, Knox is sharing her story in the eight-episode series The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, created by K.J. Steinberg (This Is Us). The show is based on Knox's New York Times bestseller, Waiting to be Heard: A Memoir. In an interview ahead of the August 20 premiere, Van Patten shared her experience portraying Knox. Preparation included numerous conversations in person and over the phone, as well as a crash course in Italian. "There was constant communication, and I was able to ask her as many questions as I possibly could. She was extremely open with me, with anything I wanted to know about, which was so amazing and helpful because my only job was to help people understand her and who she was as a human, not just as a picture on the news with a headline above her face.' Fans recognize and love Van Patten as Lucy Albright in Hulu's Tell Me Lies (season three is coming soon), but this is her first time portraying a real person. Her performance deserves awards consideration; she truly captures Knox's complex range of emotions during this traumatic, life-changing ordeal. The result is a heartfelt, often infuriating story of an innocent young woman who endured a series of injustices by a flawed and corrupt legal system that pressured her into a confession after days of questioning her in a language she wasn't fluent in, with accusations based on tainted and mishandled evidence, all while her story was sensationalized by a cruel media. The truth about Kercher's murder eventually came out, and Rudy Guede was convicted and received a 30-year prison sentence in October 2008, though that sentence was reduced on appeal before he was released early for good behavior in 2021. Guede will be back in court this fall, facing sexual assault and violence charges from a former girlfriend. The limited series is executive-produced by Monica Lewinsky, Warren Littlefield (The Handmaid's Tale), and Knox, who, since her exoneration, has become a respected author of three books, a journalist, activist, and podcaster. Van Patten stars alongside Sharon Horgan, John Hoogenakker, Francesco Acquaroli, Giuseppe De Domenico, and Roberta Mattei. Side note: Van Patten's real-life sister Anna Van Patten portrays Knox's sister Deanna in the series. Van Patten wants viewers to understand how vulnerable Knox was during that time. She was portrayed by the media as a vixen, but in reality, she was a young, naive, innocent woman who had just begun an incredible adventure, only for this nightmare to happen. 'Hopefully, people are reminded while watching this that she was just a 20-year-old girl going through something absolutely unimaginable.' She shared that filming took place in Italy for two months, with the final four months in Budapest. Regarding her Italian language skills before preparing for the role, Van Patten said that she knew only basic Italian. 'I am Italian. My dad pretends to speak a little bit. Now that I know it, I don't think he does,' she laughed. 'I had about two months before we started shooting. I learned as much as I could while learning my lines and knowing what I was saying.' The series highlights how low Knox fell during that time; she was suicidal during her imprisonment. It also shows her incredible strength. When asked to describe her, Van Patten calls Knox resilient. 'She's extremely brave. What I found so beautiful about her was how willing she was to trust me to tell her story after millions of people tried to tell it for her,' Van Patten said. 'Her willingness to trust me to portray her emotions was an honor and made me even more motivated to do it correctly. She's so inspiring to me; her humor, her bravery, and her ability to maintain positivity in moments where it seems unimaginable. I admire her ability to forgive and not hold on to anger. You see all of these things play out through the series, from her life before the tragedy, during her time in prison, and even now. She's still dealing with it, but she has a beautiful mindset. She has tried to regain control and is doing so with empathy.' When asked why she believes Knox was accused of this brutal crime and how the situation spiraled so far out of control, Van Patten paused briefly before responding. 'That is a great question that I hope everyone asks after watching this, because it doesn't make sense. There is no answer. There was no evidence. I think it just highlights the differences in people and perspectives. These older Italian men who were part of the judicial system were not familiar with a person like Amanda. She was a young, free-spirited woman. It was a misunderstanding, and instead of just accepting it as a misunderstanding, they saw it as whatever they saw it as. It was a clash of two different belief systems and views on the world.'

Movie Review: Ron Howard's 'Eden' brings 1920s chaos on a Galápagos island to life
Ron Howard's 'Eden' opens with a bold statement: 'Fascism is spreading.' It'll surely carry weight in modern society, but the phrase is referencing events from nearly a century ago. Based on a true story, 'Eden' retraces what happened when a group of Europeans attempted to start anew on the remote island of Floreana, only to encounter the earthly failings they hoped to escape: chaos, blackmail, betrayal and even murder. Howard assembles an impressive cast, though it isn't always enough to make up for the overambitious plot of a film that drags in the middle. 1920s Germany, haunted after accepting blame for World War I, was on the brink of demise, as mass poverty and broad social unrest laid ground for the extremism that birthed the Nazi party. 'Eden' shows us none of that, instead dropping us on a small island of the Galápagos, where Dr. Friedrich Ritter ( Jude Law ) and his loyal partner, Dore Strauch Ritter ( Vanessa Kirby ) found solace after fleeing their native country. The idealist doctor is inspired by a newfound purpose of penning radical philosophy that will 'save humanity from itself.' Yet the historical resonance, which could have provided pointed commentary on the parallels between today and the 1920s, falls flat amid the film's overlong runtime, unlikable characters and shaky accents that most actors stumble in and out of. In the midst of the film's crafted chaos, the story inevitably loses focus. Still, 'Eden' made room for some memorable performances. More adventurists eventually arrive on the island, and just like that, human interaction starts to breed madness. The doctor's philosophical work has spread through letters and newspapers across Europe, attracting settlers like Heinz Wittmer, a veteran of the Great War played by Daniel Brühl, and his much younger second wife Margaret, played by Sydney Sweeney. The Ritters' quiet isolation is disrupted by the couple, who arrive with Wittmer's young son, chasing the promise of an island utopia to ease their deep disillusionment with everyday reality. The tension between the two groups further exacerbates when Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn ( Ana de Armas ), who calls herself the Baroness, arrives with her two lovers, determined to build a resort on the island. What results is a cat-and-mouse game between the three groups, ripe with betrayal, distrust and tension. The battle for resources exposes just how much of their morality these people are willing to give up for survival, at least attempting to — but never fully succeeding — in addressing the question: When do people bend to human instinct? The film lacks depth in exploring questions of morality and human nature while depicting Ritter's lofty goals to save humanity. His philosophy spirals into madness throughout the film, reduced to brief, sometimes painful and surface level sound bites that eventually devolve into incoherent ramblings. The movie is at its most compelling when its three female actors are on the screen. Different motivations bring them to the island, each of which ultimately centers on the same blind faith in the idea of the masculine leader. They all end up vastly disappointed. Dore is consumed by an unwavering devotion for Ritter, a man who never lives up to the image she's crafted in her mind. Margaret, having married an older man expecting guidance, is instead forced to build her family's future from the ground up, only to fight tooth and nail to preserve it after her husband nearly destroys them. And the Baroness, who confidently declares herself 'the embodiment of perfection,' oozing with seduction, ultimately crumbles at the rejection of a man. Arguably, Sweeney — who is almost unrecognizable as the timid and brunette Margaret — steals the show. She easily delivers the most impactful scene of the movie, as she was forced to give birth to a baby boy alone in the middle of the desolate island. It's not hard to guess who won't makes it off the island, either by choice or by force. It is a true story after all. The bloody ending feels unavoidable from the beginning, almost as predictable as human nature itself. But maybe that was the point all along. 'Eden,' a Vertical release in theaters Friday, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for 'some strong violence, sexual content, graphic nudity and language.' Running time: 129 minutes. Two and half stars out of four.

Classic Rock of the 70s and Older
'I thought as a rock star I owed it to people to enjoy myself to the absolute limit,' writes Alex James, bass player for the 1990s Britpop band Blur, in 'Bit of a Blur,' his 2007 autobiography. 'It was a missed opportunity for everybody if I didn't. Turpitude, extreme immorality, is the privilege of the rock star,' he adds. 'No one else could get away with it. Even film stars and footballers have to conduct themselves with some degree of common decency. They're all answerable to somebody.' Let us salute Mr. James for his candor. There is an implied social contract here: The rock star is society's id. He lives the life of an amusing wastrel, entertaining us all until he flames out spectacularly, usually around 27 years old, and leaves behind an important moral lesson about the dangers of self-indulgence, while making us all grateful for our sedate lives in middle management.
