Academy100: Good Thing, or Giant Deadly Robot Here to Kill Us All? We Discuss - ORC 5/15/24

"Firebrand" had its world premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, where it received solid reviews for its telling of Katherine Parr (Alicia Vikander), Queen of England, and the wife and widow of Henry VIII (Jude Law). Brazilian director Karim Aïnouz ("The Invisible Life Of Euridice Gusmao") made his first film in the English language with this adaptation of the 2013 novel "Queen's Gambit" by Elizabeth Fremantle, with an emphasis on the costumes, the production design, and the perspective of Parr. He was kind enough to spend a few minutes chatting with us about his film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Roadside Attractions. Thank you, and enjoy!

664 - The Captain Talks Going On A Date and Firebrand

In this episode, Anna Smith welcomes film critic Corrina Antrobus back to Girls On Film to discuss her brand new book, I Love Romcoms and I am a Feminist: A Manifesto in 100 Romcoms. Anna is also joined by film critic Jo-Ann Titmarsh who shares her highlights direct from the Venice International Film Festival. 

First up, Corrina begins by discussing two Girls On Film romcom favourites - Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and She’s Gotta Have It, which both feature in our pod’s intro jingle. She highlights the romcoms that have often been overlooked in the genre, as well as the underlying feminism of the popular, mainstream romcoms which are often dismissed as anti-feminist. Corrina also notes the importance of diverse representation and some of the challenges of finding examples of trans romances in the romcom genre, but that by pushing for change, she has hope that things will change. **Note that there are mild spoilers for classic romcoms in this segment.**

Next up, Jo-Ann shares the exciting buzz of this year’s Venice International Film Festival and discusses her festival favourites. She notes how this year’s fest consists of all-out glamour and fabulous women rocking the red carpet and discusses her film highlights, including her top performances by women including Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Tilda Swinton and Angelina Jolie. She notes the films to look out for, and ends by discussing the long-awaited sequel to Beetlejuice.

You can buy Corrina Antrobus’s book I Love Romcoms and I am a Feminist: A Manifesto in 100 Romcoms at most book retailers including Waterstones, Blackwells, WH Smith and Amazon.
