Episode 7: Andrea Arnold Special

What Goddesses Watch by Film Critic Soma Ghosh

Episode notes

As new film 'Cow' is in UK cinemas and comes to MUBI worldwide in February, acclaimed Belfast writer of working class lives Wendy Erskine joins film critic Soma Ghosh for a deep dive into the films of Andrea Arnold, one of the most accomplished female film makers in the world. We tackle questions like middle-class viewers watching working-class and vulnerable lives, sex in dangerous paradises, the role of dance in feminine self-expression and to what extent female abuse is inevitable in the worlds Arnold depicts.
