Joanna Hogg is one of my favorite directors, and someone whose films celebrated ever since I saw her first, Unrelated, at the BFI London film festival back in 2007. I was on the FIPRESCI jury that gave her our prize — I even got to be the one who presented it to her at that year’s awards gala, which was a genuine thrill — and I’ve been a fan ever since.

I’ve also gotten to know her just the tiniest bit over the years, and she’s the best, staying true to her vision and remaining resolutely herself as she gains more and more stature on the global stage. (Have you seen the Souvenir movies? You should see the Souvenir movies.)

Anyway, I’ve been waiting for someone to bring one of Joanna’s films to the podcast, and on this week’s episode of Someone Else’s Movie, I got my wish: India Donaldson, whose excellent debut feature Good One is in US theaters now and opening across Canada this Friday, picked Archipelago, Joanna’s second feature and one that further sharpens Unrelated‘s motif of curdling affection, isolated gatherings and uneasy generational interaction. And the conversation was everything I’d hoped for.

So go listen! You’ll find it at all the usual spots — Apple, Spotify, YouTube Podcasts —or download it directly from the web and play it while you wait for the ferry to the island.

And go see Good One, which is a knockout debut; India is subtly in conversation with Joanna’s films (and Kelly Reichardt’s, and Debra Granik’s) in intriguing ways while finding her own cinematic language. James Le Gros as you’ve never seen him before. We’ve got it at the Lightbox. You should come.

Also, I seem to be back on track with Shiny Things; last week I wrote about A24’s new 4K edition of The Zone of Interest, Via Vision’s exquisite Martin Scorsese: Films of Faith boxed set and Warner’s latest 4K set of the Rocky movies, which fixes the previous set’s issues in more ways that one. Of course, you can’t read that last bit without a subscription — but there’s an easy way to fix that.
