A Rabbit’s Foot #12: Film, Art, Culture and Confessions

‘Film, Art, Culture and Confessions’

Promising a more cerebral (and arguably very particular) approach to the world of cinema, A Rabbit’s Foot is led by producer, writer, and filmmaker Charles Finch. Issue twelve is themed ‘Sanctuary’, exploring how the creative individuals featured inside find solace both abroad and in their own nests. On the cover is the distinguished actress Isabelle Huppert, who sat down with Kitty Grady in Paris’ Christine Cinema Club for a roving 18-page discussion of her storied career and the process of getting into character.

Inside, you’ll also hear from a full cast of screenwriters, filmmakers, actors and artists: John Malkovich is profiled by longtime friend Natasha A Fraser; ‘City of God’ director, Fernando Meirelles, discusses how his commitment to working on his farms in Brazil interweaves with the narratives of his films; ‘Past Lives’ director, Celine Song contemplates the meaning of love; and Harris Dickinson chats about his transition from actor to director with his much anticipated debut feature film ‘Urchin’.

And the name? Glad you asked. It comes from an Ernest Hemingway book, ‘For luck you carried… a rabbit’s foot in your right pocket… the claws scratched in the lining of your pocket and you knew your luck was still there.’
