Episode: Elegance Bratton on Imitation of Life
Description: Writer-director Elegance Bratton -- whose autobiographical debut The Inspection is in theaters now, and opening at the TIFF Bell Lightbox this Friday -- examines the tangled themes of race, class and belonging in Douglas Sirk's 1959 remake of Imitation of Life, and how they resonate with his own work. Your genial host Norm Wilner prefers Sirk's version too.
