Danielle Lessovitz stops by the pod to talk about Port Authority, her new feature film that just premiered at Cannes Film Festival (Un Certain Regard). A complex love story set in New York’s Kiki ballroom scene, Port Authority stars Leyna Bloom, the first trans actress of color in a Cannes selection. The episode gets personal as we discuss falling in love, waiting at train stations and class conflict; Jenny reads from “A Lover’s Discourse” and Yelena embodies “June gloom”.
Bonus: Our take on “Women are happier without children or a spouse, says happiness expert”
A Lover's Discourse, by Roland Barthes
