Die My Love, Splitsville, Nouvelle Vague + Schmutz Cinema

A Review Roundup in which Laura Gommans and Elliot Bloom find themselves genuinely divided. Lynne Ramsay's Die My Love — Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson in an unflinching portrait of postpartum collapse — splits them down the middle. They're similarly at odds on Splitsville, a physical comedy about opening up a marriage. But both are fully won over by Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague: a playful, formally audacious retelling of the making of A Bout de Souffle in the grammar of the French New Wave it celebrates. An episode where disagreement is the conversation.

In this review roundup, hosts Laura Gommans and producer Elliot Bloom find themselves divided on Lynne Ramsay’s Die My Love, a fierce, unflinching portrait of postpartum collapse starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson. Laura and Elliot are also split on Splitsville, a buoyant physical comedy about the messiness of opening up a marriage. But both are fully won over by Richard Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague, a playful reframing of the making of À Bout de Souffle told in the grammar of the French New Wave itself.

Laura also speaks with Maxi Meissner, curator of Schmutz Cinema, about what audiences can expect from Schmutz XL: The Birthday Edition on December 6th , a special LAB111 collaboration celebrating queer intimacy and pleasure on screen.
