We caught up with Joanna while she was in New York for the festival, while Honor joined the conversation from Edinburgh via Zoom. Our lively chat touched upon the film’s layered approach to autobiography, its precisely contrived naturalism, and how the film’s soundtrack draws from Hogg’s memories of youth. Stay tuned for more coverage of this year’s New York Film Festival, both on the podcast and in the Film Comment Letter.
