José Lourenço: His new rom-com based on an 18th-century German tragedy
Published 1 year ago
Description
José Avelino Gilles Corbett Lourenço is a Toronto-based writer and filmmaker whose debut film, “Young Werther,” reimagines Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s classic novella “The Sorrows of Young Werther” as a modern-day rom-com. José sits down with Tom Power to talk about the film and why he thinks this 18th-century German tragedy is a universal story that we can still learn from today.
