This is a podcast about those films, the joys and challenges of finding and watching those films, how filmmaking choices affect our experience of them, and the people and places we discover through looking outside the mainstream and beyond the English language. Our mission is to upend the canon to be more inclusive by spotlighting and diving deep into international and independent films by and about women, Indigenous People, LGBTQ+ people, and other marginalized groups. Find multiple episodes on the films of Kelly Reichardt, Céline Sciamma, Andrew Haigh, and Joachim Trier.

In fact, it might just cut deeper. On this episode, host and Seventh Row Editor-in-Chief Alex Heeney is joined by Lindsay Pugh ( Woman in Revolt ) to revisit Andrew Haigh's masterpiece about a childless couple celebrating their 45 the wedding anniversary in the same week that a traumatic secret from the past comes to light. We talk about: What makes this story hit differently as we have aged Why the film's focus on emotional repression, delayed gratification, and public performance feels so radical How Haigh's queer lens shapes his portrayal of a straight relationship What gets added (and deepened) in the move from short story to screenplay Why Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay deliver two of the most nuanced, unforgettable performances of the century How Haigh's blocking — the way actors move through space and interact physically — works hand-in-hand with the dialogue to show us what's shifting beneath the surface, like tension, avoidance, closeness, or control Whether you're watching for the first time or the fifteenth, 45 Years is a film that evolves with you — and we unpack why.
