This week on Someone Else’s Movie, I welcome Toronto filmmaker Sofia Bohdanowicz, whose first feature Never Eat Alone has its hometown premiere at the Lightbox on Saturday.

Sofia picked Lars Von Trier’s Dancer in the Dark, a movie which she loves, and which I continue to find frustrating and confusing some 17 years after its release. And so our conversation spins out in a number of different directions, covering the breadth of Von Trier’s cinema, the rise of a certain other look-at-me filmmaker, the responsibility a director has to his (or her) actors and a digression about pizza and Toni Erdmann which I just couldn’t bear to clip out.

It was a blast, and I hope you enjoy it. And if you’re in town, check out Sofia’s movie on Saturday night; she’s a really intriguing talent, and she’s amassing a very strong body of work. (Also, Dexter wuvs her.)
