The BFI Podcast: Atlanta, Maurice, First Reformed

Maurice, released in 1987 was "the OG Call Me By Your Name" (says Anna). This episode we examine the impact the Hugh Grant-starring gay love story had on film culture, rave about Atlanta season 2 and review First Reformed, Paul Schrader's glorious sermon on grief, faith and capiltalism.

Anna and Henry are on Twitter. More on producer Pete at his website.
