A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, directed by former video essayist Kogonada, is beautiful to look at and very likeable, but derivative and ultimately unsatisfying. We discuss its lighting, its attitude towards people’s histories and the memories that live with them, and why a rubbish script Mike once wrote makes him particularly keen to sneer at it.

With José Arroyo of First Impressions and Michael Glass of Writing About Film.
