Aaand we’re back for a shiny new season of fantasy dinner parties, dress codes, recipes and cultural icons – in-person and imaginary. To kick off Season Two, we are joined by filmmaker Nathalie Biancheri, the Italian-born, London-based writer and director of the conversation-starting 2021 drama Wolf, starring Lily-Rose Depp. Nathalie’s imaginary dinner guest is none other than the great Werner Herzog in all his dead-pan, anti-capitalist, prolific filmmaking glory. There may or may not be boiled shoes on the menu.
