Part 11: L'adaptatrice (ft. Rebecca Sheehan)

Kate and Simon are joined by author and film academic Rebecca Sheehan to dissect two later Akerman features, including her final scripted feature, bound together in this episode by their respective takes on literary giants. First up is 2000's La Captive, derived from a section of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time; next is Almayer's Folly, derived from the Joseph Conrad novella/story of the same name.

Music by: Rachmaninoff, Mozart.
