Benediction

We're kicking off Pride 2023 with a look at gay romances from 100 years ago in Terence Davies's 2022 biopic Benediction, about the many loves of World War I poet Siegfried Sassoon. Join in as we discuss Sassoon's biography, the Bright Young Things, handsome British boys, and casting characters at different ages. Plus: How autobiographical is this movie for Davies? Is Sassoon right to hate musicals? What does the title mean for the movie? And, most importantly, what TV has Marc been watching lately? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe! Next week: The Handmaiden (2016)
