Description

We return to our favourite debate: monogamy vs. polyamory. This time with love triangles as the point of entry. We discuss new release Passages' somewhat bleak version of the shape, and look back at more optimistic portrayals, including Woody Allen's Spanish holiday fantasy Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona and the pre-code shocker Design For Living.  Lily also gives the lowdown on (the auteur behind The Room) Tommy Wiseau's new release, Big Shark.  References ‘The Ethical Slut’: Inside America’s Growing Acceptance of Polyamory by Anna Fitzpatrick for Rolling StoneDesign for Living New York Times review from 1933‘Ernst Lubitsch Made the Hollywood Comedy Sublime’ by Alex Ross for The New YorkerFilm Pharmacy Night Watch (2004) dir. by Timur BekmambetovCold War (2018) dir. by Paweł Pawlikowski-----------If you love what we do, please like, subscribe and leave a review!Produced and edited by Lily AustinMusic and sound by James BrailsfordLogo design by Abby-Jo SheldonFollow usEmail us
