In the latest episode of Captured on Celluloid, Adam and Andrew dive into the films of French New Wave director Jacques Demy, with the help of special guest (and Andrew's brother) Jordan Snyder.

Along with touching on some of Demy's foundational films such as Lola, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, and The Young Girls of Rochefort, the Snyders' shared love of Damien Chazelle's La La Land means it also features prominently in the conversation thanks to its own Demy tributes and influences.
