before england footballers, other footballers who never got the recognition or the money, and, goodness, i mean, just a parallel story in the world of surfing, just in a different sport. completely. it feels very topical, as you say, by coincidence. but i think that should hopefully give it appeal to people. as you say, i knew very little about surfing, not particularly into it, but this is a human story and it s a story about equality in sport. yes. i mean, there really is some rampant sexism in the early days of that. i think from what i know more than very much more so than in the world of football. but that s to do with the sport as well, isn t it? but really, it s really it s quite an eye opening documentary. yes, it s a lot of fun and it s educational. yeah, absolutely. and a french film for number three? yeah, anais in love. this comes from a french female director. it s a romantic comedy. i thoroughly enjoyed this. i m going to put it out there and say i really, really liked
made, a silent film. and it s all about the new era of the talkies coming in and the very sort of slightly meta storyline of a film being filmed in downton abbey, which leads to some quite amusing storylines. it s sentimental, but you know what it does? it s like the tv series. it does it all really well, you know, itjust works. you can see its manipulations a mile off, but you fall for them. yes. and it s just comforting viewing. you ve got to sit down with your family at christmas, watch it. you know what you re going to get. but i guess it delivers it well. it does. and maggie smith delivers well. hilarious. anna, thank you so much. look forward to seeing you next week. that s it for this week. enjoy your cinema going, whatever it is you decide to watch. thanks for being with us. see you next time. bye bye. hello there. we ended the week with some warm sunshine, but some showers, mainly in the north, close to an area of low pressure. and that same area of low pressure is sitting in
life is all about her, and it doesn t matter what impact she has on other people, and she is meant to be 30 in the film. and ijust thought, you know, everyone s a bit self absorbed when they re 20, but really, you re still behaving like that at 30? so by the end of it, i really wanted to shake her. right, interesting, cause i sort of sort of fell for her a bit more as the film went along. initially, she was annoying me and then i realised, i know people like this, and when you re with them, you actually kind of, you know, transfixed by them because they lavish you with all this attention. so i could sort of believe why people were hanging out with her. but, yes, to watch it, you know, with a bit of distance, you can see, yes, she s incredibly selfish. but i do think a little bit more depth is revealed towards the end of the film, and ijust enjoy decoding her character. i just thought it was really fun to do that. yes, you might be right there. you re probably a better person than me b
were not being taken seriously, in these kind of renegade rogue days for these women who were absolutely incredibly talented, but they were coming up against a lot of sexism. and this documentary mixes archive footage with modern day interviews with these amazing women. there are so many great, witty, wonderful women in this film sharing their recollections of the past in a very lively and funny way. it s not a moan fest, you know. they re saying, 0k, we have these challenges, but we have this sisterhood. we got through it and this is how we got through it. and there s a sense of celebration about how far things have come in the surf scene since then, and the sort of groundwork that these women laid for the women now who finally are getting equal pay when it comes to the competitions. yes, and only very recently getting equal pay. and i watched this thinking, i know nothing about surfing. i ve never tried it. am i going to get anything out of this? and i think what s interesting is
i don t want to say any more than that, because obviously i don t want to do any any plot spoilers. i suppose if you did know her in real life, she d be sort of life and soul of the party, and you would invite her to every social gathering you had, and she would be the social butterfly. so i guess she s kind of fun to have around? yes, and she s shown from a female perspective and what i like about this, it s a female writer director. it s not the kind of manic pixie dream girl trope you see who s very sexualised in films by men. so i liked that about it and it just felt it rang true to me. it s interesting. it s an interesting watch. it s not my best of the year, but, yeah, there s things to recommend in it. and, so, best out, anyway, this week, anna? nope, jordan peele s, again, a horror, but with elements of kind of a western, elements of sci fi, daniel kaluuya, terrific in the lead role here as a hollywood rancher who kind of looks over horses. a lot going on in this film, a lot
