Part 11: L'adaptatrice (ft. Rebecca Sheehan)

Kate and Simon are joined by author and film academic Rebecca Sheehan (https://communications.fullerton.edu/ctva/faculty/sheehan_rebecca/index.php) to dissect two later Akerman features, including her final scripted feature, bound together in this episode by their respective takes on literary giants. First up is 2000's La Captive, derived from a section of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time; next is Almayer's Folly, derived from the Joseph Conrad novella/story of the same name. Music by: Rachmaninoff, Mozart.
