Thank you for listening to the Following Films Podcast today I’m joined by Michael Day, director of the thriller CLAWFOOT. The film stars Francesca Eastwood and Milo Gibson Clawfoot is a captivating dark comedy thriller about an affluent suburban trophy wife haunted by a malevolent contractor renovating her bathroom. Beneath its suspenseful surface, the film delves into themes of survival in contemporary economic times. It highlights the disparity between outward appearances and individuals' hidden financial challenges. Clawfoot skillfully portrays the lengths one might go to to secure their well-being. Known for his work on top productions such as “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Iron Man 3,” “Rare Objects,” and “Malignant,” -- “Clawfoot” is Michael’s directorial debut. For the film, he drew inspiration from Hitchcock’s “Rope,” “Dial M for Murder” and “Rear Window.” Janet's (Eastwood) look draws upon iconic styles reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, capturing their timeless allure. Conversely, Leo's (Gibson) character embodies elements akin to Marlon Brando, bringing a distinct flavor and depth to his portrayal. CLAWFOOT can stream on July 19th on all major VOD/rental platforms. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/followingfilms/support
