Jerome ReuterHOST
and there's a lot of writers who are challenging some of those old institutions.
Jerome ReuterHOST
One of the things that impressed me the most was generally when someone mentions Anna Karina, I think of all those great Jean-Luc Godard films, especially like A Woman is a Woman, which is probably my favorite Godard.
Jerome ReuterHOST
So seeing her in a period drama was completely out, completely surprising, completely out of left.
Rachel BellwoarHOST
Yeah, well, I love Anna Karina and I feel like it's similar.
Rachel BellwoarHOST
They're kind of Jenna Rowland.
Rachel BellwoarHOST
So many of her films were with him and the same with Anna Karina.
Rachel BellwoarHOST
So many of her films and where she often is the lead actress were with Godard.
Rachel BellwoarHOST
And that's kind of why I'm not always as big a fan of his films.
George StamkowskiCORRESPONDENT
Fergus Campbell's debut, Sparks, operates on an even more handmade register.
George StamkowskiCORRESPONDENT
Small-town Nevada teenagers become obsessed with finding a time portal to 1960s Paris, where Cleo, played by Elsie Fisher, dreams of acting for the great avant-garde director Jean-Luc Godard.
George StamkowskiCORRESPONDENT
The film announces its personality immediately.
George StamkowskiCORRESPONDENT
Cleo feeds coins into an old cigarette machine right in the middle of a country road and pulls out a dog-eared book about Godard.
George StamkowskiCORRESPONDENT
When she asks her gang if they know what the French Nouvelle Vague was, one kid replies, I thought it was a cocktail.
George StamkowskiCORRESPONDENT
The gag captures what I liked about Sparks.
Norm WilnerHOST
But it's the one...
Norm WilnerHOST
I think it's very, very telling that Godard is obsessed with a man who is obsessed with cinema.
Norm WilnerHOST
And this movie isn't that at all.
Norm WilnerHOST
Like, he is...
Norm WilnerHOST
And, and, I'm making movies because I love making movies and here's someone making a movie in my movie and all that meta-reflexiveness thing that was so au courant at the time and I guess still is.
Norm WilnerHOST
But this is also about these ineffable, unexpressible, inexpressible emotional weights that these characters are carrying.
Norm WilnerHOST
And that's something that Truffaut would get to eventually and Godard never would because it didn't seem to interest him.
Alexandre FranchiGUEST
Yeah, I guess to reduce this to a simple statement, I guess it's the documentarian in René who puts himself...
AfrinaHOST
And that's, like, one of the most famous songs.
AstraHOST
Oh, my God.
AstraHOST
Wait.
Jennifer HuntHOST
Okay.
14 MINS LATER
AstraHOST
So Pom, she leads her life by singing.
AstraHOST
She wants to be singing across the country and traveling with her girls.
AstraHOST
They're called, oh my God, what was their name? One sings The Orchards.
AstraHOST
So she's a part of a quartet called The Orchards, and they go across the country in this really chic 60s-esque van, and they sing songs that are lyrically... lyrically revolve around just their kind of experience or how they feel embodied as a woman in France and living under patriarchy.
JayHOST
I mean, you know, many years later...
JayHOST
He would probably be ranked alongside with Jean-Luc Godard, you know, Jean Cocteau, François Truffaut, the great French director.
JayHOST
And Julie Benoist is a wonderful actress.
JayHOST
Actually, that was like my original choice for Dust, but however, I was like, actually, there's another person that I feel like I want to go turn Dust with.
Colin TaitGUEST
Some sort of like.
Colin TaitGUEST
Swiss accented French in Godard's accent.
Colin TaitGUEST
Right.
Colin TaitGUEST
With a southern drawl.
Joe OdberHOST
Yes.
Joe OdberHOST
This felt very Godard as well, didn't it? Yeah.
Joe OdberHOST
In a way, I think this film is more French than Italian, this film.
Joe OdberHOST
It does.
Ryan GowlandGUEST
A French anthology film.
Ryan GowlandGUEST
The last section has Godard in it.
Ryan GowlandGUEST
So...
Ryan GowlandGUEST
I'm hoping you don't mean that movie
Ryan VerrillHOST
because...
Ryan VerrillHOST
No, not a Godard fan.
Ryan VerrillHOST
This is Noboru Tanaka's oldest profession.
Ryan VerrillHOST
And this is a...
Dan MirvishGUEST
And then if you look at the Cannes Film Festival in 1968, there was a group of filmmakers, upstart filmmakers in.
Dan MirvishGUEST
Louis Malle, Jean-Luc Godard started Directors Fortnite, same thing.
Dan MirvishGUEST
They weren't happy with how Cannes was going, so they started their own thing.
Dan MirvishGUEST
Berlin had a similar thing too.
Marc CiaffardiniGUEST
If it was anywhere else in the world, we might seem faux intellectual and be like,
Bryan KlugerHOST
Godard, Jean-Luc Godard, Drew Jean-Luc, yes.
Bryan KlugerHOST
So yeah, Matrix 5 may happen.
Bryan KlugerHOST
That's the deal.
