Hello and welcome to a bonus episode of Kill James Bond. You know who we are, I hope, but just in case you don't, I'm Alice Goulda Kelly. I'm joined, as always, by my friends Abigail Thorne and Devon. Bonjour! If you don't know who I am at this point, that's on you. Yeah, yeah. So I've transitioned us from... Again? Force femned us. Yeah, I have for spemed you because we've...

We've been making you watch movies about sad European men.

And now we've gotten into the arc where I make you watch movies about sad European women.

And so I picked out something that I've been saving for a long time, Jean-Lick Goddard's

fourth movie, Vives Savvy.

And I don't really have like a favorite film, because my brain doesn't work like that.

But if you put a gun to my head and said, stop saying films, say one film only, it would be this, right? This would be my favorite film.

And I'm really nervous about this episode, because I've kind of established myself over the course of doing this podcast as, like, Ms. Film Studies.

There is a lot of film studies in this. There's a film studies-ass movie. And I want to do it

justice. And I don't know. There's a lot there. And I don't know if I'm equal to the task. But I'm glad that

I have my two friends to help me out with this. This is one of those movies where you watch it and you're

immediately taken over by, oh, I'm watching a movie here. Yes. I've got like a thing going on. I need to pay full attention to this and think about what I'm being shown. And there's been a lot of writing about this film. I don't know how firmly I think I have anything new to say. People are interested in hearing us talk about it, I think.

Exactly.

Yeah, it was alright.

Yeah, it was fine. It was banging in it. That's all right. It's kind of drags in places, but it's okay. I don't get it. If you saw Stella Artois adverts, which I know as a sort of northerner, as Abby's way of interacting with media pre-eminently.

Mm-hmm, yep.

They had this thing in sort of like...

The standard order when I used to work in the pub was two points of Stella and a Pino-Griggio with ice. That was for a couple too. That's two points of Stella for one man and then a Pino-Grecio with ice for his lady friend. These are gender roles. You gotta get the scampy crisps as well.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But so if you remember the ads that they put out that were like taking the piss out of film genres, one of them was like the French art film, the French New Wave art film, where it's like lots of sort of like people talking to camera, black and white, subtitles, about

their sort of en-wee, right?

Yes.
