Warning: This episode features discussions about abuse and may be triggering to some. Discretion is advised. This episode I've got Australian filmmaker Lachlan Saille on to chat about his latest film, Albatross. While he might be on horror-heads radar for his restoration work, including New Wave Video's release of the lost 8mm Japanese horror flick, Nighty Night, his own films are a different beast altogether. Albatross is a very heavy drama about child abuse that focuses on these two lovers exploring their own complex traumas. It's one of the most unique films I've ever seen, applying a Bergman-esque poetic touch to very prickly subject matter. Lachlan is a fascinating artist who tied these themes to not just his creative pursuits but also his political ones. Unfortunately the recording was met with a handful of tech issues so not all of our discussions made it to the final episode but what remains is a compelling conversation that will surely split your head.
