Manage episode 428076958 series 2897557
Alexander Payne’s 1999 release Election was a film which took the filmmaker’s career to the next level. A biting satire, it features a great Matthew Broderick as a teacher with a grudge battling Reese Witherspoon‘s overly enthusiastic student, Tracy Flick.
As part of a special look back at some of the films released in 1999 - a year many believe to be one of the finest in cinema history - film critic and entertainment journalist Isy Santini joined the Movies In Focus podcast to talk about Election.
With bylines in The List, Film Stories, and Dirty Movies, Isy is a writer with a passion for feminist film analysis and 20th century cinema - which made her the ideal candidate to talk about Alexander Payne's well regarded black comedy.
