81. Joe Wright on Mussolini: Son of the Century and Pride & Prejudice's impact 20 years later | Dial M For Movies

Welcome back to Dial M For Movies! This week, we’re joined by a very special guest, director Joe Wright.

Joe talks us through his latest project, Mussolini: Son of the Century, a bold new TV series (now streaming on Mubi & Sky Atlantic) diving into the life and rise of one of history’s most controversial figures. We discuss what drew him to the story, what it was like returning to television, and the creative challenges of portraying complex historical characters.

We also take a look back at the impact of Pride & Prejudice, 20 years later, and how that film continues to resonate with audiences today. Plus, Joe shares some of his favorite movie influences and what’s next on the horizon.

Thanks for listening!
