The power of love is cinema’s most seductive illusion, making our hearts beat faster and shaping our dreams and longings. BFI LOVE in partnership with Plusnet, is a major new project that will re-kindle audiences’ passions for film and television’s most enduring love stories. In our events and screenings we celebrate big screen romance and explore the darkest tales of obsession and betrayal.
To celebrate this season, we invited Kirsty Fairclough-Isaacs to quiz Jason Wood and Andy Willis about all things love-in-the-movies. Take a listen to see how they got on.
