  • Sebastian Lelio's "A Fantastic Woman" (2017)

    Merry Christmas Eve! 


    Why is it so important to have an authentic, positive representation of an underrepresented identity in film/media? Listen in as LINNA and Nic discuss “A Fantastic Woman”. Sebastián Lelio’s film follows Marina, a trans singer (played by the consultant to the film and all-around fantastic actress/singer, Dani Vega), as she runs the gauntlet of abuse all in the name of claiming the grief she deserves to express for her deceased lover. We discuss color theory, fantastical plot devices, and symbolism in this masterwork of a character study. We discuss why films like “A Fantastic Woman” are vital, how authorship can be interpreted, the new wave of queer women, and our season-long theme of water and femininity. Points to anyone who tallies up how often we say “fantastic”! Thank you for tuning in to this season, we love having all of you here with us, and stay tuned for more!

  • Desiree Akhavan's "Appropriate Behavior" (2014)

    Can a toxic relationship at the center of a romantic comedy still make it romantic? Find out as LINNA and Nic discuss Desiree Akhavan’s debut, “Appropriate Behavior”. The film follows Akhavan as Shirin, a closeted bisexual as she finds her way to move on from a breakup. We discuss unlikeable characters, Lena Dunham comparisons, Bi and Iranian-American representation, and our theories on why comedy and queer women narratives shifted from the 2000s to 2010s. Thank you for tuning in, and stay tuned for more! Our final episode on this season of the new wave in queer woman cinema will be released on Christmas Eve this Thursday, 12/24.
