In the first episode of our fourth season, Nick is joined by his good friend, Martin Yoo, to discuss the award-winning French film from 2019: Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Winning Best Screenplay at Cannes and being the first film to be shot on 8K, this film tells a touching and nuanced story of two women who fall in love, in spite of the society that surrounds them. If you have not seen this film yet, you truly should go out of your way to see this in a theatre if you can.

In this episode, they discuss the technical aspects that make this film beautiful, the subtle acting, the imagery of the white dress, the extended metaphor of Orpheus and Eurydice, the purpose of having little men in the film, the abortion scenes and its purpose in this film, the ending, and much, much more!
