Journey To Italy with Ira Sachs

Sam Clements is curating a fictional film festival. He'll accept almost anything, but the movie must not be longer than 90 minutes. This is the 90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest podcast.

In episode 64 Sam is joined by writer and director Ira Sachs (Love Is Strange, Little Men, Frankie).

Ira has chosen Roberto Rossellini's Journey To Italy (86 minutes). The 1954 drama stars Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders.

Sam and Ira discuss lockdown film projects, how Journey To Italy has inspired Ira's filmmaking and why it wasn't his first choice for the festival.
