"Let's just say I wanted to make a liberated film. I felt like...am I allowed to say 'fuck it?' Like, 'fuck it.'" So says legendary indie filmmaker Ira Sachs about Passages, his seriously sexy Sundance hit about an insatiable artist in a messy modern love triangle.

In this special episode, Sachs tells host Rico Gagliano how his all-star cast (Ben Whishaw, Franz Rogowski, and Adèle Exarchopoulos) liberated their characters, and why he and Hollywood are on the outs.
