Permanent Record (1988) - Keanucopia

Before we get to the altogether unheard of and surprising film that is the focus of this week's episode, Ben and Alex have some suggestions for things to watch during the lockdown period (skip the first 13 minutes if you're not interested). Then it's on to director Marisa Silver's Permanent Record, a teen drama (stay with us) that tenderly deals with the impact of a promising high school student's suicide, through the mechanisms of grief, support, structure, empathy and music. More than any film so far in the Keanucopia, if this one has passed you by, give it a watch before you listen to us discuss it - firstly, it's well worth it and secondly, we get spoilery early doors. To top it all off, once the hankies are wrung out, Marisa Silver herself sent us a few words about the film. Music is Black Fly by Audionautix. Get in touch here: [email protected]
