65 - The Souvenir & The Last Black Man In San Francisco

May 25, 2020

Dallas and Lee turn their attention to a fantastic double feature of The Souvenir and joining us is Kelechi Ehenulo to discuss The Last Black Man In San Francisco and we hear from its co-writer and director, Joe Talbot who we interviewed last year at the London Film Festival.

In A24 Hour News we discuss the rights to Under The Skin, Olivier Assayas developing a Irma Vep TV series and preview next weeks interview with First Reformed's Elanna White.

In The Souvenir, a shy but ambitious film student falls into an intense, emotionally fraught relationship with a charismatic but untrustworthy older man.

The Last Black Man In San Francisco follows Jimmie Fails who dreams of reclaiming the Victorian home his grandfather built in the heart of San Francisco. Joined on his quest by his best friend Mont, Jimmie searches for belonging in a rapidly changing city that seems to have left them behind.
