Several new releases have a refreshing, open-hearted and relaxed approach to the complex issues involving the physicality of women’s bodies. Anna speaks to writer and actor Kelly O’Sullivan and critic Rhianna Dhillon about female bodies.
Kelly O’Sullivan discusses her new film Saint Frances, which, on the surface is a light-hearted comedy, but at its heart there is a quiet revolution going on, dealing with previously controversial subjects as the everyday events that they can be: menstruation, abortion, good and bad sex, babies and breastfeeding, inter-racial same-sex couples, and bonding between people of all kinds.
Rhianna and Anna catch up about Michaela Coel’s recent hit series I May Destroy You, focusing on consent and its bold depictions of bodily functions.
