His new short film was shot at his New York home, and captures Elordi in black and white with props and motifs that have appeared throughout Michals' distinguished oeuvre - a convex mirror, a suspended feather, a crystal ball.

Almost his last recorded sentence, a few hours before his brutal murder, was "we are all in danger", siamo tutti in pericolo . Wasn't he right about that? He warned that capitalism was the new fascism, he dared to say that fireflies were worth more than the industrialisation that was poisoning the Italy he loved.

Eva Victor on Loewe, Friendship and the Art of Creative Storytelling

Loosely inspired by Victor's own experiences, the film sees her take on the role of Agnes, an East Coast English professor who, after a shock sexual assault, begins to quietly unspool. It's a story we know well in the post-MeToo era, but Sorry, Baby is a sharp reinterpretation of the typical trauma plot: there is no violence, no gratuity, no moralising and no revenge. Instead, it's more about the strange, slippery nature of trauma, and the mundane, often unsatisfying, ways we have to stitch ourselves back together.
