Episode #96 | Alena Lodkina

Alena Lodkina’s Petrol will stick to you like glue. If you dive deep enough into the film's subtexts, and if your experience with this film is anything like mine, it will take weeks to shake. In this episode, Alena joins me to take a very deep dive into the making of Petrol which follows Eva, an impressionable film student, who befriends an enigmatic performance artist named Mia who quickly takes hold of Eva’s imagination. Petrol is Alena’s second film following her debut, Strange Colours. If you haven’t already that film, then I recommend putting it at the top of you must-watch list. Anyway… enjoy.
