we are always humbled by our craft, you know what I mean?

It's like, I'll never beat my craft.

The film will always win.

And so that's important to me.

Hello. Hello and welcome back to the director's cut, brought to you by the Director's Guild of America.

In today's episode, a timeless tale of love is reimagined in director Joe Wright's romantic musical drama, Serenow.

Based on the well-known play, the film adds singing to the story of Cyrano de Bergerac, who can dazzle with a word or a sword, but convinced

that his appearance makes a romance impossible, cannot declare his love for his beautiful friend,

Roxanne. His situation becomes even more complicated when Roxanne falls in love with the handsome Christian.

In addition to Cyrano, Mr. Wright's directorial credits include the feature films, The Woman in the Window,

Darkest Hour, Atonement, and Pride and Prejudice, an episode of the anthology series Black Mirror,

and episodes of the miniseries, The Last King. Following a recent screening of the filmology series Black Mirror and episodes of the miniseries The Last King.

Following a recent screening of the film at the DGA Theatre in Los Angeles, Mr. Wright

shares insight into the making of Serenau with fellow director Sam Taylor Johnson. Listen on for

their spoiler-filled conversation. Hello, hello.

Hello.

Hi.

Thanks for coming out.

This isn't my usual thing to do.

So I'm going to just launch right in because Joe and I have known each other for a long time and been on a couple of decade journey together as friends.

So it's actually quite nice to just sort of sit and chat and ask him questions on behalf of

everyone else that they may want to hear answers to.
