Review: ‘Carville: Winning Is Everything, Stupid’

T.J. Clementeby T.J. Clemente
in Entertainment, Trending
Home Entertainment

At this year’s Hamptons International Film Festival, one of the hottest tickets was for the screening of “Carville: Winning Is Everything, Stupid.” It is about democratic consultant James Carville and was directed by Matt Tyrnauer. Both Carville and Tyrnauer attended the screening. After the film and the Q&A moderated by John Heilemann from the political show “The Circus,” Director Tyrnauer spoke with Hamptons.com, saying, “It is amazing to show the film with so few days left (before the election). This festival is just at the right time, and I think it’s the perfect audience for the film.” The October 10th screening preceded the World Premiere the next day in New York City. Mr. Tyrnauer called it a “pre-premiere.”

 

Judging by the audience’s reaction to the film as it played on the big screen at the East Hampton United Artist Theater, everyone was engaged. No matter what side of the aisle your political views lie, there can be no question that James Carville catches your attention. Matt Tyrnauer’s film crew catches Carville’s firebrand rhetoric that has probably energized both Republican and Democratic voters to cast their votes either for or against his candidates. However, there is a method to his madness, and the fact that this partisan Democrat operative married a top Republican operative (Mary Matalin Carville) and is still married some 31 years later says a lot about Carville, the man. In the documentary, she surprisingly opens up about their marriage, and what she says doesn’t always shine the brightest light on the marriage. Mr. Tyrnauer reflected on how it “… took a while before Mary warmed up to the project and agreed to speak on camera.”

Democratic Consultant James Carville

This documentary crisscrossed Carville’s career but focused on the last two years of his day-to-day life. There are touching scenes of him at home with his wife, Mary, and thought-provoking scenes of how tough travel is for a political operative. The central theme was how, after the Trump-Biden debate, James Carville did all he could to convince stalwarts of the Democratic Party to talk President Joe Biden out of the race. The film takes one through the day-to-day process of phone calls and thinking, eventually leading to Vice-President Kamala Harris becoming the 2024 candidate. In the interview comments exclusively to Hamptons.com, Director Tyrnauer said,  “I have been with James for three weeks every day, and I receive texts multiple times a day with people asking what does James think (about the election) what is going to happen, and when you walk down the street with him he is bombarded with people asking him (who’s going to win) because everyone is on pins and needles right now and he can see around corners.” Afterwards in the Q&A with the film audience, Mr. Carville said he believes the election “will be very close” and made no prediction.

 

What was most informative were the vignettes with political legends who gave their insights and spoke of James Carville’s ability to have his finger on the nation’s political pulse. There were even some negative comments, especially by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who on film called Carville “A political hack.”  Mr. Carville seems able to politically calculate what the common man thinks, perhaps because this film takes the audience to the small town in Louisiana where Carville grew up. James Carville is the grandson of the then-town-only U.S. Postal clerk. The town was initially called “Island” but was changed to Carville after his grandfather. James Carville emerged from these humbling beginnings, and after a tour in the Marine Corps and a symbolic local political job back in Louisiana at age 38, things changed. He landed a job as an assistant to a professional political operative. At first, he had a string of humbling defeats. Still, eventually, after a big win (Bob Casey was elected Governor of Pennsylvania in 1987), Carville became a very sought-after political consultant. Fatefully, in 1992, he decided to work to make Bill Clinton President, thus cementing his place in history. 

 

In the end, Tyrnauer said, “A full house and a big round of applause from a perfect Hamptons Audience, and a lot of love in the room for James.”

  • Hilary Matt Interiors is a residential design firm started and located in New York City with projects spanning across the country, including in the Hamptons and East End.⁠
⁠
Hilary, principal and founder, is known for a bold aesthetic that is comfortable and livable. She always keeps her clients at the forefront so they can express themselves as individuals through their spaces. After starting out in the fashion industry, Hilary felt a call to interior design where she has been bringing her unique approach and style to every space as the brand continues to grow.⁠
⁠
Hilary spoke more about her background, how each HMI project differs from one another, and why the Hamptons is such a special place to her. She also shared her top 5 interior design tips as inspiration.⁠
⁠
Can you discuss your background and how you got started with interior design?⁠
⁠
HM: I studied business and apparel merchandising. After graduating, my first job was at a women’s contemporary showroom in NYC. I had always loved fashion and wanted to be in the industry. After a year, I realized it wasn’t quite what I expected. I had always been interested in interior design, so I took a leap of faith and accepted a job as an assistant to an interior designer. I was initially nervous to leave fashion, but I figured I could always return. I ended up loving it and worked with her for eight years, learning the ins and outs of the business. I also took classes on weekends and evenings to learn computer programs, scaling, and other essential skills. After leaving that position and having my first son, I started my own company, which has snowballed into what we are today.⁠

  • Comedian Des Bishop took the stage at Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center this week and delivered laugh after laugh. A native New Yorker, Des moved to Ireland in his teenage years, which ultimately inspired his start in comedy and a successful career that has spanned three decades.⁠
⁠
His comedy is full of observational humor and nostalgia, whether it be about his many cross-cultural experiences, an ever-changing societal landscape, and his own personal stories growing up. Des brings energy and a unique perspective to every show, evident at his Westhampton show, the place he has spent all his summers since the 90s.⁠
⁠
Des spoke more about his background, how his experiences have shaped his approach to comedy, his connection with the East End, and his WHBPAC show.⁠
⁠
Can you tell us a bit about your background and how you first got into comedy?⁠
⁠
DB: Well, my background is a little complicated, but the quick version is I grew up in Queens, flunked out of St. Francis Prep at 14, and ended up going to Ireland to boarding school in 1990. It was a crazy, life-changing experience, but it definitely saved my education and ultimately inspired a comedy career that in the early days focused a lot on being an outsider looking in. It’s hard to know if I ever would have tried stand-up if I hadn’t been in Ireland. I got sober at 19 and it was a comedian I knew from that world that pushed me to try stand up. Once I got on stage that was all she wrote. I was addicted.⁠
