Female Filmmaker Friday Podcast: Episode 5 – Kasi Lemmons
This week writer Angelica Jade Bastien joins me to talk about the work of filmmaker Kasi Lemmons.
Movie Quote of the Day – Eve’s Bayou, 1997 (dir. Kasi Lemmons)
Mozelle Batiste Delacroix: Life is filled with goodbyes, Eve, a million goodbyes, and it hurts every time. Sometimes, I feel like I’ve lost so much, I have to find new things to lose. All I know is, there must be a divine point to it all, and it’s just over my head, that when we die, it will all come clear and we’ll say, “So that was the damn point.” And sometimes, I think there’s no point at all, and maybe that’s the point. All I know is most people’s lives are a great disappointment to them and no one leaves this earth without feeling terrible pain. And if there is no divine explanation at the end of it all, well. . .that’s sad.
