Child of Man : Nick Cassavetes's The Notebook

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas try to remember why they even started this stupid arc...

And that arc is the Nepotism aka Children of Men arc, where in our final week we unearth Nick Cassavetes's (son of John Cassavetes) 2004 adaptation of the Nicolas Sparks novel, THE NOTEBOOK.

Starring Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, James Garner and Director Nick's mother Gena Rowlands, we deal with the greatest love story about Dementia that could ever be told. It is so great, that it is literally too good to be true. Pure fantasy romance. But don't tell Nicolas Sparks that, he apparently doesn't write romance stories... Sure.

How does our final Child of Man Nick Cassavetes hold up to his father's career? Tune in and find out that we barely even discuss that. We are too bothered trying to figure out, "WHAT DO YOU WANT!", while spontaneously laughing in the rain....
