The screening was followed by a discussion between Hogg and The Gentlewoman’s editor Penny Martin about the ideas, inspiration and innovation behind the film.
Hogg said she saw the film as an “interesting vehicle to express my ideas about the end of life and the fears we all have. The bag became this vessel for feelings that I maybe wouldn’t be so free to express if it was an actual human character.”
The film is the 29th installment of the Miu Miu Women’s Tales series, which Miuccia Prada launched in 2011.
