Best Editing - Raging Bull vs The Elephant Man
On this episode, Shay and Wendy are very excited to take a look at the 53rd Academy Awards from 1981. Why are we excited? Well, not only are we looking at two excellent films, Raging Bull and The Elephant Man, but both films were edited by women! Martin Scorsese regular, Thelma Schoonmaker, went up against veteran Anne Coates in the editing category this year. Find out what the films have in common, how we think the female perspective helped these films, and what happens to the brain when you record in un-air conditioned circumstances.
