Date:

In a creative spurt that will have given us give her seminal film Things to Come (review) in 2016, the TIFF world preemed Maya (2018) and Bergman Island (2019) in a breakneck pace of a film per 18 months, Mia Hansen-Løve came to Toronto with Roman Kolinka (who has become a three film in a row muse) and first time actress Aarshi Banerjee. This ode to Goa feels like a distant cousin of Michelangelo Antonioni’s The Passenger in terms of how it’s protagonist journalist embraces a change in identity while haphazardly being aided or guided by a young women. Here is our photo shoot with the trio.
