About this episode
Nathan Weinbender reviews the film 'Blue Heron', exploring themes of immigration and mental health.
Blue Heron is director Sophy Romvari’s hushed, intimate memory of being an immigrant family in Canada and of her own brother’s fracturing mental health. Nathan Weinbender says it’s a potent study of time and loss, and it’s now playing at the Magic Lantern.
