PODCAST | Chiara Nicoletti interviews director Derek Cianfrance, who talks about his new film The Light Between Oceans from the 73rd Venice Film Festival.
THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS. Set off the remote edge of Western Australia following World War I, a shell-shocked veteran devotes himself to his new job as lighthouse keeper, seeking solace in the solitude of the island. He intends to remain alone, until he meets a vivacious young woman from the town across the bay. Despite the obstacles, their love flourishes, they marry and hope to start a family, but fate intercedes. When a rowboat holding a dead man and an infant washes ashore, it sets off a chain of decisions that unravel with shattering consequences.
