Four Favorites with David Jenkins: Almodóvar, Daft Punk and Little White Lies

The Letterboxd Show

Little White Lies editor David Jenkins joins Mia and Ella to celebrate the 100th edition of London-based cinema magazine, and chat about the films behind his four favorite illustrated LWL covers: Volver, Attack the Block, Eden and Licorice Pizza. We dig into the magical realism of Pedro Almodóvar, why we’re all so drawn to the thoughtful dramas of Mia Hansen-Løve, a perfectly logical reason as to why Daft Punk and Greta Gerwig should collab, the magnetism of Alana Haim and more. Cheers to 100 issues of Little White Lies!
