They Shot Pictures Podcast
In this episode of They Shot Pictures, I am joined by my friend and Cinema on the Road co-host Jhon (@cruyffbedroom) to discuss the always distinctive and often devastating films of French filmmaker Maurice Pialat. We start with his 1972 film, We Won’t Grow Old Together, move on to his adaptation of the Georges Bernanos novel, Under the Sun of Satan and conclude with his penultimate feature Van Gogh.

Seema grew up in Bombay raised by a slapstick comedy aficionado (think Chaplin & Jerry Lewis) Dad and a mom who loves art house Malayalam cinema. These combined with a healthy dose of Bollywood melodramas on TV and an early fascination with [i]Pulp Fiction[/i] and [i]Rushmore[/i] cemented her ongoing obsession with films that continues to this day. Some of her favorite films include [i]Charulata[/i]. [i]A Brighter Summer Day[/i] and Vendredi Soir. Besides They Shot Pictures, Seema also co-hosts a podcast on world cinema called Cinema on the Road.
