Talking Pictures episodes

  • Portrait of a Lady on Fire
    This week we’re lighting a candle for Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Céline Sciamma’s aching study of an artist, her subject, and the few stolen days they have to look at each other. A portrait commission on the Brittany coast becomes something neither woman can name until it’s already ending — and we get into why a dog-eared page 28 might be one of the most quietly devastating love letters in film.

  • The Grand Budapest Hotel

    This week we’re checking into The Grand Budapest Hotel, Wes Anderson’s bittersweet masterpiece about a legendary concierge, his loyal lobby boy, and a world slowly disappearing into memory. From stolen paintings and pastries, prison breaks and perfume, we explore why this dazzling caper remains one of Anderson’s most beloved films, and perhaps the film that reaches furthest beyond the director’s familiar preoccupations.

  • Sinners
    This week, Talking Pictures tackles Sinners, Ryan Coogler's supernatural thriller that shot straight onto the Letterboxd Top 250 after release. A movie about vampires in 1930s Mississippi that ends up saying so much more than that — and one that's already hard to stop rewatching.
