A Conversation with Your Mom is inspired by Chantal Akerman’s News From Home. In the film, she reads letters her mother sent her ,between 1971 and 1973, which she reads over footage of the city. You can watch that here.
You: That's cool.
Mom: Have you been applying places?
"I'm still waiting to hear back from the place I interviewed with last week." or "Yeah, I've been filling out a lot of applications."
