Reversal of Fortune (feat. Steven Canals)
Description
It's time to explore the World According to Glenn. I'm Kevin Jacobsen, Glenn Close is my favorite actress, and this show is all about exploring the career of one of the finest actors of her generation. Each episode, I'm joined by a guest as we dive into one of Glenn's movies, TV shows, or stage productions, going chronologically through her career, discussing her performance, and assessing the project itself.
This week, we're covering the 1990 legal drama Reversal of Fortune! Writer/director Steven Canals joins me to discuss Glenn's portrayal of the real-life Sunny von Bülow, our thoughts on Jeremy Irons' Oscar-winning performance, how the film executes its themes about morality and privilege, and how it feels both dated and ahead of its time.
