The Heartbreak Kid is Elaine May’s second film as a director, a melancholic tale that turns the rom-com genre on its head. Our guests Darren Richman and Devorah Baum, and a Garden Cinema audience, break down the themes and psychology of its characters in this post-film discussion.

Devorah Baum is a co-director and the author of a number of books including On Marriage (Hamish Hamilton) and The Jewish Joke (Profile), working as an Associate Professor of English Literature at the University of Southampton.

Darren Richman is a writer and journalist, having written for The Jewish News, The Guardian, Little White Lie, The Daily Telegraph, and The Independent.
