Summary

Damien Chazelle's epic film of Hollywood's transition from silents to talkies, "Babylon," has gone on to become one of the most debated and divisive films of 2022. However, one element that cannot be disputed is its impeccable craft. We were honored to have Oscar-nominated production designer Florencia Martin and Oscar-winning editor Tom Cross ("Whiplash") on the podcast to discuss their work with us on Chazelle's latest. Martin's work, in particular, is up for your consideration for this year's Academy Awards in Best Production Design. We hope you enjoy what went into making one of the most technically dazzling films of the year. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
