Jonás Cuarón joins this episode of The Lunch Podcast from the Chateau Marmont in L.A. to talk about – among other things — Gravity, the film he wrote with his father Alfonso Cuarón. Growing up, the son of the director of Children of Men and Y tu Mama Tambien thought that the visual arts or fiction might be his chosen path that diverged from his dad’s world: “I just love storytelling.” Now, he’s a filmmaker, part of the year’s biggest critical successes — and one that’s also earned hundreds of millions worldwide from thrilled, enthralled audiences. As well as some discussion of Gravity, the conversation includes notes on outer space, squash soup, La Jetée, still photography, great L.A. dining, Spielberg’s Duel, the good and bad of test screenings and his own work as a director from his upcoming feature to his recent Iceland-shot short film, the Gravity companion-piece Aningaaq.
