What We Owe Each Other

This week’s episode of Someone Else’s Movie offers a really nice pairing of guest and feature, if you’re keeping track of such things.

My guest is Naomi Jaye, a Toronto writer-director whose excellent new psychodrama Darkest Miriam opened the Canadian Film Fest last night in advance of starting its Canadian theatrical run this Friday, and she chose Krzysztof Kieslowski’s magnificent Three Colors: Red, the crowning chapter of his trilogy on the French flag … and, sadly, the film that now stands as the final cinematic statement of a master filmmaker we lost far too soon. Kieslowski died 29 years ago this month, aged 54.

We talk about all of it, and Darkest Miriam as well — which is an exceptionally creepy drama featuring a terrific lead turn from Severance breakout Britt Lower that you’re not going to want to miss. No spoilers, though. Subscribe to the show on AppleSpotifyYouTube Podcasts or your podcatcher of choice, or download the episode directly from the web and listen to it on the ferry ride as you contemplate the interdependence of our lives.

And then go get caught up on Shiny Things, because I covered a lot of ground last week! I wrote about the new releases of Wolf ManWerewolves and Y2K, and the 4K restorations of Deep Blue Sea, TommyGodzilla Vs. Biollante and Night Moves. (It was a really good week for monsters.) C’mon, subscribe already! Think of what you’re missing!
