2021 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Augustine Frizzell’s The Last Letter From Your Lover

Date:

Filmmaker/actress Augustine Frizzell‘s sophomore feature could have perhaps preemed in 2020, but it looks like 2021 was perhaps a better bet. A Netflix project based on Jojo Moyes’ best-selling novel, The Last Letter From Your Lover might preem in the same lieu Never Goin’ Back did back in 2018 – just in an altogether different program section. The set in the 1960’s project features the likes of Shailene Woodley, Felicity Jones and Callum Turner and went into production in October 2019 in Mallorca and London.

Gist: Felicity Jones stars as a journalist in contemporary London who uncovers a series of love letters which recount a star-crossed love affair from the 1960s and she becomes obsessed with tracking them down to find out how their story ended.

Production Co./Producers: Graham Broadbent, Peter Czernin, Stephen Traynor, Simone Urdl and Jennifer Weiss.

Interview: Marjane Satrapi & Vincent Paronnaud – Persepolis

The thrill of meeting Marjane Satrapi reminded me of being 6 years old at Disney Land when I met the living, breathing Cinderella. Except Cinderella was an actress with a blond wig and Marjane is the real woman behind her autobiographical graphic novel, turned movie, “Persepolis”. The distinctive mole on her nose and her dark sultry eyes rose off the page and appeared in front of me, smoking and speaking with a French accent.
