After Francis Lee’s celebrated queer debut God’s Own Country<\/em>, the director leveled up with another gay romance Ammonite<\/em>, this time with Oscar-pedigreed stars. Kate Winslet stars as 19th century paleontologist Mary Anning opposite Saoirse Ronan as Charlotte Murchison; the two develop a seaside romance of opposites between the gruff Anning and the unfulfilled Murchison. But Lee’s follow-up, (originally selected for Cannes) had the unlucky fortune to come out in 2020 amidst a climate unfriendly to a romance more reserved and quiet than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This episode, we talk about the film’s unceremonious world premiere at the COVID-impacted Toronto International Film Festival and the film’s theatrical run. We also discuss 2017 comparison’s between God’s Own Country<\/em> and Call Me By Your Name<\/em>, Winslet’s performance on Mare of Easttown<\/em>, and the minor controversy over the real woman’s unknown sexuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics also include Sam Levinson’s (hypothetical!) dungeon, emotional metaphor animals, and “Harold, they’re lesbians!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
