Carolyn Talks..., Podcast

For the #SXSW2024 world premiere of her documentary AN ARMY OF WOMEN, I spoke with filmmaker Julie Lunde Lillesæter about the journey she and this army, Marina, Hanna, "Amy", and their fellow claimants, were on during the making of the film as Julie followed the process of their class action lawsuit against the Austin, Texas judicial system for failing to prosecute their sexual assault cases.

* Trigger warning for mentions of rape and sexual assault during the interview, and in the film*

After years of being disappointed, unsatisfied, and feelings of betrayal by a system that's supposed to, these women with the unwavering support of their lawyers Jenny and Elizabeth demanded justice for themselves and other victims of sex crimes and got it. This film #AnArmyOfWomen is their story.

In this episode of Carolyn Talks..., writer and director Celine Song joined me to talk about Past Lives, her critically acclaimed debut feature film which premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.

The film stars Greta Lee as Nora, an aspiring playwright whose forgotten memories of her past life in South Korea is awakened when her childhood best friend Hae-sung played beautifully by Yoo Teo, reaches out for connection. As Nora and Hae-sung rediscover their friendship, Nora's husband Arthur (John Magaro) is able to see a whole new side to his wife and marvel at it.

In our conversation, Celine and I spoke of how the film is a narrative exploration of platonic romance and finding the courage to move on from past loves and lives.
