Romance on Screen: The Souvenir: Part II, Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy & Romantic Comedies

This time out, Anahit, Jamie and Peter are talking about love, romance and relationships in The Movies.

We review two films that deal with romance in very different ways: Joanna Hogg's follow-up to The Souvenir (11:21), and Ryusuke Hamaguchi's new anthology film Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy (23:53).

There's a deep dive into the history and politics of the romantic comedy (30:40), through the lens of the conveniently-titled 2019 documentary Romantic Comedy.

Plus bits on Keanu Reeves, Kenneth Branagh's Belfast (which we did *not* love), and some cool screenings to check out. Also, we're all together in one room! Next to a castle!

Lots of love, The Cineskinny xx
