0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>From Sports Media. I'm Daniel James and this is seven

0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:10.879
<v Speaker 1>AM summer series. Every day. This week, critics from the

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Saturday Paper and The Monthly are bringing you their top

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:17.560
<v Speaker 1>picks of the year, and today we're talking film, from

0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 1>partying with Russian oligarchs to grave robbing in Italy. Taking

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>us on this journey is film writer for The Monthly

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>as well as the Features and Talks programmer at the

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Melbourne International Film Festival, Kate Jinx. It's Friday, December twenty seven. Kate,

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 1>thanks for coming on the show.

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Hey, thanks for having me. I love to talk about film,

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 2>so this is a good morning for me.

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:51.959
<v Speaker 1>We've chosen the right person there, which is very very

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>pleasing to know. You've picked four films for us. But

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>before we get to that, what kind of year has

0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>it been in film in twenty twenty four.

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 2>I think it's been a pretty interesting year in film.

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we haven't had the Barbenheimer breaking box office records,

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 2>but we're in the middle of Glickered apparently that's Gladiated

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>to and Wicked. So I think the blockbusters have been

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 2>pretty major this year and of a relatively high standard,

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 2>like even a film like Beetlejuice too performed really well.

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.040
<v Speaker 2>But then in the art house world or the kind

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 2>of film festival world, there have been some real beauties,

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>some absolute gems. Like when I was trying to pick

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:37.319
<v Speaker 2>four films for this year, it was a painful experience,

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 2>a hard exercise.

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I would say, well, let's get to them. Okay, So

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:44.559
<v Speaker 1>what is your first pick?

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay? My first pick is a film that I did

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>write about for the Monthly earlier this year. It's called

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 2>LaCamera by Alice Rohlwalker. It's an Italian film. It did

0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the festival rounds last year, but made it into Australia

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 2>in cinemas this year, and it's just the most extraordinary

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>film open sato for I see. It's set in the

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>early eighties. It's set in the Italian countryside, as most

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 2>of Alice Rowalker's films are, and it's the third part

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 2>in this very loose trilogy about Italian folklore but also

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 2>the history of kind of the Tuscan and Etruscan countryside.

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 2>It's about Etruscan jewels and the engrave robbing. I mean,

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:42.839
<v Speaker 2>are you interested yet?

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Of course you are, of course I am.

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 2>It stars Josh O'Connor, a British actor. We've seen him

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.239
<v Speaker 2>in a bunch of things this year, like Luca Guadnina's

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:56.359
<v Speaker 2>Challenges and Lee, the film that starred Kate Winslet. But

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 2>this is him at his kind of finest. He plays

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 2>this kind of relatively cranky, solitary Englishman who's living in Italy.

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 2>He's fresh out of jail for grave rubbing and he's

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of lost the love of his life. And we

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 2>don't know exactly where she is a witch state she

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>is in, which world she's in, basically, but he has

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 2>this preternatural ability like to work out where graves are

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 2>and he uses a dowsing rod to find them. And

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 2>he has this kind of incredible troupe that called the

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Trombaroli who help him. Breads breads, really breads, breads. It's

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>shot on film, but it's shot on a mix of films.

0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 2>It's like thirty five and sixteen and eight, so the

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 2>look of it changes all the time. It's it's just beautiful.

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 2>It's just beautiful.

0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, you've certainly piqued by in Christ It's so I've

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 1>seen it described as a kind of cross between Indiana

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.119
<v Speaker 1>Jones meets Fellini. Would that be a fair description.

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 2>That's a pretty good description. I wish i'd said it.

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, so that was La Camira. What it is

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>your second pick?

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>My second film is Janet Planet. This one has played

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 2>a number of festivals this year in Australia and I

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 2>played My Infinite played at Adelaide. It hasn't had a

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:30.599
<v Speaker 2>big cinema release, which is such a shame, but it

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 2>is available on planes. I know a lot of people

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 2>who have watched it mid air and they've probably cried

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot watching it, purely because they're on a plane.

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 2>But I also cried in the cinema. It's a film

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 2>by Annie Baker. It's her first feature American director, but

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.479
<v Speaker 2>she's really known as a playwright. She won a Pulitzer

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 2>for a theater work called The Flick many years ago,

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.040
<v Speaker 2>and Janet Planet does have kind of a theatrical energy

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.280
<v Speaker 2>to it. It feels like it's in It's a film

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 2>in three act. Basically, it's about this woman, this mother

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.719
<v Speaker 2>who is played by Julia Nicholson, and she is a

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 2>single mom and she's raising her eleven year old daughter

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 2>who's a bit of a strange cat. Her name's Lacey.

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>It's funny flat. Every moment of my life is Hell.

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Who actually seem very happy to me. A lot of

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.279
<v Speaker 2>the day it's Hell.

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:34.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it'll last, so I'm actually pretty unhappy too.

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.719
<v Speaker 2>It opens on a summer camp and Lacey is calling

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 2>to be picked up. She doesn't want to stay anymore,

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 2>and I won't kind of reveal how she makes her

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>mother come and get her. It's very funny. And then

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>we follow Lacey and her mom over this period of

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>just one summer together and they live they live in

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:57.600
<v Speaker 2>the woods of Massachusetts and they live in this beautiful

0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 2>old house, and she's an acupuncturist. Down at Planet is

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:06.279
<v Speaker 2>her acupuncture studio, and we see these relationships just drift

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 2>in and out of her life, kind of lovers and

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>friends coming in and leaving again, and their relationship that

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 2>she has with them, and also how her daughter reacts

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 2>to them and to her mum. She was in a

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.599
<v Speaker 2>relationship with ARV, a guy with a beer.

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Then she broke things off with.

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Him, but he.

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.039
<v Speaker 1>Well, I wouldn't go so far as to call it

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:34.040
<v Speaker 1>a cult, and Regina insists it isn't. And they're actually

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 1>really wonderful.

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:39.160
<v Speaker 2>It's really special, particularly because I feel that these kinds

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.159
<v Speaker 2>of people, you know, like an acupuncture is kind of

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:46.719
<v Speaker 2>living in the woods, going to essentially a commune that's

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.840
<v Speaker 2>where her kind of friend lives, and to see these

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.280
<v Speaker 2>big kind of a performance theater shows at a commune.

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 2>They're the kinds of people who are used for kind

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 2>of comedy. They're the like light relief in a film.

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.479
<v Speaker 2>And this film takes the really seriously and there's a

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of empathy for that world and I haven't really

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 2>seen that much on film before, and so yeah, it

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 2>really blew me away this one.

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So that's Janet Planett. We'll be back after this. So, Kate,

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 1>we're talking film and your favorite picks from twenty twenty four.

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Your next picks are two films that have just been

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 1>released in cinemas, right, Yeah.

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Just scraping in at the end of the year Boxing

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Day releases. And I don't know if you're like me,

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 2>but I always wait and see, like what's going to

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 2>come out on Boxing Day, and it's always something really

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, massive that we're all waiting for. Yeah, but

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 2>then in the last couple of years, we've seen these

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 2>kind of smaller indie films kind of break into that

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 2>sphere too, because there's just kind of demand for that,

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 2>which is excellent. That. Yeah. One of my favorites of

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 2>the year, which I also covered for the monthly, was Anora.

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 2>It's Sean Baker's latest film American director. I just think

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 2>he's wonderful. He makes films. He kind of burst onto

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 2>the scene with his second feature, Tangerine, which was shot

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 2>completely on an iPhone, A number of iPhones, I imagine. I

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 2>don't think the battery could last back then.

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Maybe now I could, maybe, yeah.

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Maybe now. Yeah. He makes these films often about people

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of existing on the margins and about the kind

0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 2>of American dream. And the last five films he's made

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:40.079
<v Speaker 2>have actually focused on sex work or the adult entertainment industry.

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 2>And this one is just so extraordinary. It's called Anora,

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 2>and it won the big prize at can this year

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:56.680
<v Speaker 2>so deservedly. I will say. It's about this young woman.

0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Her name's Anora. She goes by Annie, and she works

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 2>at a strip club called Headquarters. She's a stripper and

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 2>a kind of sex worker, and she is just as

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>like tough as nails. Girl. You would not want to

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:17.680
<v Speaker 2>get into a fight with Annie. Yop yo, yo, keep

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:23.559
<v Speaker 2>begot milk? Do you see milk on the fridge? No?

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 2>And ikick up the fucking milk. She played by Mikey Madison.

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 2>It's such a great role for her, and in comes

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 2>this Russian young Russian guy who they just have this

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 2>connection with. She has a Russian background, so she's able

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.559
<v Speaker 2>to kind of converse with him, and he's really young,

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.720
<v Speaker 2>and he manages to get her to do some like

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 2>offsite work and invites her to his mansion and it's

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 2>a pretty intense mansion and they start seeing each other

0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 2>like client and worker, cash up front, deal deep, and

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 2>then they kind of fall in love. Question Mark, there

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:20.120
<v Speaker 2>is definitely something there and they go on this kind

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:25.199
<v Speaker 2>of bender essentially, this very joyful week that they spend together,

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 2>her paid handsomely, of course, and then they get married

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.720
<v Speaker 2>in Vegas and it's like the film could stop there

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 2>and it would be this perfect rom com. But no,

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:40.560
<v Speaker 2>and the kind of his parents, you know, get in

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 2>touch with their heavies and these kind of Armenian goons

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:51.680
<v Speaker 2>come in and wreck the whole thing and it sets

0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:56.679
<v Speaker 2>off this incredible kind of mad cap caper across mostly

0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Coney Island, and the rushing kind of areas of island,

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:07.079
<v Speaker 2>and it's has everything, like it's so funny, so deeply funny,

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 2>but it's also critiquing capitalist America and it's sad and

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 2>it's beautiful and there's good like there's sex in it.

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Like it truly it is a movie for adults, and

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 2>I feel like we don't get that too often.

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>It's true. It was kind of sounding like Pretty Woman

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>if Ji was the son of a Russian oligarch there

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:28.559
<v Speaker 1>for a bit.

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it's a pretty Woman. And it's also like

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Martin Scorsese's After Hours, a little bit like this kind

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:39.400
<v Speaker 2>of nighttime odyssey that sort of with a lot of

0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, comical fast to it. It's just it's just

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.679
<v Speaker 2>such a great film. I've seen it a couple of

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:49.679
<v Speaker 2>times at this point, and yeah, high, high recommendation.

0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so that was Anora. What is your fourth and

0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 1>final pick?

0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is hard, isn't it having a final pick?

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:58.559
<v Speaker 2>Because I've got so many.

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Sounds, so it sounds so permanent, I know, right.

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Don't put it on my tombstone. My fourth one is

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 2>All We Imagine as Light, which is also just out now.

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:18.440
<v Speaker 2>It came out on Boxing Day. We began Cistern routine

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 2>ed it and this is a film that is so

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.920
<v Speaker 2>on the opposite end of Anora like it's this one's

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:34.320
<v Speaker 2>really quiet and meditative and sort of just light filled

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 2>and luscious. It's real luminous film. It is by Payo Carpatia,

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 2>an Indian filmmaker. This is her first feature and she

0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 2>won the second big prize, the Grand Prix at Can

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 2>for this and she was recently named as the first

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Indian woman ever to be nominated for a feature at

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:01.680
<v Speaker 2>the Golden Globe. So she's kind of adding a pretty

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 2>incredible path here with this film. It's about these two roommates.

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 2>They're Indian nurses. One's a bit older than the other.

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:12.559
<v Speaker 2>They live in Mumbai and they work at the same hospital,

0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.000
<v Speaker 2>but they're constantly having kind of issues come up with

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:19.840
<v Speaker 2>their work or their love lives. One of them, Praba,

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:25.319
<v Speaker 2>her husband lives in Germany and he hasn't contacted her

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.960
<v Speaker 2>in many many years. She can't get in touch with him,

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 2>and then out of the blue, she receives this rice

0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:35.520
<v Speaker 2>cooker in the mail and the scene with her receiving

0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.680
<v Speaker 2>the rice cooker is just it's really it's really beautiful

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:46.560
<v Speaker 2>and really sad and lovely in London, England, made in Germany.

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen the film, but I saw some of

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the shorts and the film had me at Rice Cooker.

0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean Boxing Day sales are on right now.

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 2>It's it's a good ad for it. And then her

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 2>younger roommate has fallen in love with a young Muslim boy,

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.320
<v Speaker 2>which is very not allowed in her family, and she

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:16.080
<v Speaker 2>has these kind of clandestine sort of trysts with him

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 2>in the city. But they're just they're very lovely, and

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 2>they're very fun, and it's fun to see kind of

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 2>these young people falling in love. It's a really lovely film.

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.080
<v Speaker 2>To lovely film, to kind of just let wash over you.

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 2>I think it will really stay with people.

0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, they sound like four fine films. Kate, thank you

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:36.880
<v Speaker 1>so much for your time.

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh, thanks so much. I had so many others to

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 2>give a little recommendation.

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Coming up in just a moment. Kate can't help but

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 1>recommend a couple more gems, including a film set in Bunderberg.

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I just wanted to mention an Australian film my favorite

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.800
<v Speaker 2>of the year. It was Flatheaded by Jaden Martin. It's

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.000
<v Speaker 2>been in cinemas, but I'm sure it's streaming at this point.

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 2>It's set in Bunderberg, and it's a kind of a

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 2>part documentary, part fiction and it's a really fambulous film.

0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 2>And my favorite cake was another big one, big favor

0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.360
<v Speaker 2>of mine. But also if you're just looking for something

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 2>a little maybe not as highbrow as the ones that

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I've talked about, my favorite time at the movie was

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 2>m Night Shyamalan's Trap this year. So there you.

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Go, something for everyone.

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, kay, thanks so much.
