Taking Hugh for Granted
Cloud Atlas
Episode notes
Listen as Diggory and Oscar attempt to unpick Cloud Atlas (Thomas Tykwer and Lana and Lilly Wachowski, 2012) and Hugh Grant's five roles within it - playing such characters as a slave-owning reverend, a 70s sleazeball, and a savage, hellbent, Hawaiian cannibal.
Cloud Atlas follows 6 stories across 5 centuries starting with an 1849 voyage across the Pacific, letters from a composer to his lover, a thriller about a conspiracy at a nuclear power plant, a farce about a publisher in a nursing home; a rebellious clone in futuristic Korea and the tale of a tribe living on post-apocalyptic Hawaii far in the future.
