The Film That Blew My Mind

Christine Vachon on The Boy with the Green Hair

Episode Description from the Publisher

Christine Vachon - the legendary producer behind films like The Brutalist, Past Lives Carol, Far From Heaven, Boys Don’t Cry, and many more - joined Cooper and Tabitha for a live conversation at the Sonoma International Film Festival to uncover the film that blew her young mind...Joseph Losey’s 1948 The Boy with the Green Hair. In this episode, Christine shares why this story of a kid who literally wakes up different has stuck with her, what it says about standing out in a conformist world, and how it connects to the kinds of outsider stories she’s championed her whole career. It’s part Hollywood oddity, part timeless fable—and a perfect excuse to dive into why movies about being different matter so much. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
