This time out, Anahit, Jamie and Peter are talking about love, romance and relationships in The Movies.
We review two films that deal with romance in very different ways: Joanna Hogg's follow-up to The Souvenir (11:21), and Ryusuke Hamaguchi's new anthology film Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy (23:53).
There's a deep dive into the history and politics of the romantic comedy (30:40), through the lens of the conveniently-titled 2019 documentary Romantic Comedy.
Plus bits on Keanu Reeves, Kenneth Branagh's Belfast (which we did *not* love), and some cool screenings to check out. Also, we're all together in one room! Next to a castle!
Lots of love, The Cineskinny xx
