Trigger warning: This week’s episode of Someone Else’s Movie includes a digression about Xavier Dolan, the Quebecois enfant terrible whose latest film It’s Only the End of the World just won the Grand Prix at Cannes.
It came up organically, though, as my guest Carolina Bartczak had picked Pedro Almodovar’s Volver, and that led to a conversation about hyperexpressive filmmaking aesthetics, and certain directors who do that better than certain others. Give it a listen, it’s all in there — along with Carolina’s really thoughtful unpacking of Almodovar’s complex emotional storytelling.
