Ira Sachs on Frankie | Picturehouse

We’re back with a mini interview special! Our next full episode of the podcast will return in early June.  In this shorter episode, host Sam Clements talks on Zoom to writer and director Ira Sachs (Love Is Strange, Little Men, Keep The Lights On) about his new film, Frankie. Unfolding over the course of a late summer’s day in the stunningly beautiful Portuguese town of Sintra, the wonderful new film from acclaimed director Ira Sachs follows a family that has gathered for a holiday organised by family matriarch Frankie (Isabelle Huppert). In this fairy tale setting, husbands and wives, parents and children, friends and lovers – all stirred by their romantic impulses – discover both the cracks between them but also unexpected depths of feeling. With an outstanding cast that includes Brendan Gleeson, Marisa Tomei, Jérémie Renier and Greg Kinnear, Frankie delivers a funny and utterly engaging cinematic treat. Frankie is in UK cinemas now.
