During this HOT HotD season, we thought both our dear listeners and ourselves could use a break from just talking about the dragon show. So here is the first of three mini-episode where we recommend stuff to you all! In this episode we talk movies!
Lo talked about, in chronological order:
The Millenium movies, especially Män som hatar kvinnor/The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - by Niels Arden Oplev & Daniel Alfredson (the movie with a journalist and hacker trying to solve the 40 year old mystery of a missing girl, while also delving into social inequality in Sweden)
Fucking Åmål/Show Me Love - by Lukas Moodysson (90s movie about two teenage girls falling in love in the small town Åmål)
Portrait de la jeune fille en feu/Portrait of a Lady on Fire- by Céline Sciamma (the sapphic love story between a painter and a lady of the gentry in 18th century France. Gay and sad.)
Virginie talked about, in chronological order:
La vie est un long fleuve tranquille -by Etienne Chatilliez (the movie with switched babies that’s all about making fun of rich and catholic people because we think class humour is the best)
Les Visiteurs -by Jean-Marie Poiré (the medievalist movie that’s absolutely not historically accurate but that we love to loathe -or just love- and makes fun of rich people because class humour is really our thing)
La cité de la peur (le film des Nuls) by Alain Berberian (the movie that made me laugh when explaining its plot because the words “serial killer” are a joke in it but also, there’s a serial killer)
Les trois frères -by Didier Bourdon & Bernard Campan (the movie that’s about three brothers who didn’t know they’re brothers, who find out when their biological mother dies and leaves them a supposedly large heirloom. It of course makes fun of rich people but not only that! In a cult scene, you may discover we had the Wheel of Fortune in France. You may also discover how… dangerous it is to drive while high on ecstasy. And so much more)
