'A film to be discovered, and reconsidered'

On this episode, Anna is joined by writer Andy Murray to discuss Being Human, Bill Forsyth's often maligned and misunderstood seventh film starring Robin Williams as Hector, a single human soul in five reincarnations through history, searching for connection.

Anna and Andy discuss the importance of family and home, studio interference, and how Forsyth makes it really hard for himself with this ambitious but flawed film which tackles the universality of the human condition. Andy also unearths an entire missing Hector (a Hector too far?)

The original script mentioned in the podcast was found by Andy here (we can't vouch for its provenance) https://subcin.wordpress.com/2014/08/01/being-human-robin-williams-screenplay/
