Welcome to OVID’s “Author Selects” series, where we invite an author to select a film on OVID and explain why they think you should watch it.

In our fourth installment, we welcome writer Jessa Crispin to discuss Kiyoshi Kurosawa's series, Penance. Crispin is the editor of The Culture We Deserve and the author of My Three Dads from the University of Chicago Press. She currently lives in Philadelphia.
