1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Great per flick with Ben. I love it when Ben

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: comes in with a movie. I had no idea what

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: even existed was coming out and today is that it

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: is Widow click o. We don't click about the woman

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: who founded the champagne house Verve clicko, which, of course

6
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's probably Australia's favorite fancy bubbles, like mid range,

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: like you obviously can go a lot more expensive, but yeah,

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: it's about you know, these days it's about one hundred

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: bucks at Dan Murphy's. So is it really it's gone

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: up the French like a mum. Also, that's close, but

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: it's not. Yeah, but you know, like if someone's got

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: a like a housewarming or oh yeah it's a fortieth

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: birthday party or something, it's a beautiful bottle in the

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: nice box. And so this comes in a long line

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: of films that are about stuff about products, about consumerism.

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: We've had movies origin stories about Beanie babies, Yes, slame

17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: and hot Cheetos, Tetris, Uh McDonald, Barbie McDonald's, It's It's Air,

18
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: Jordan's shoes, like there has been a rash of these

19
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: up shoes. Movies we talked about like musical biopics, and

20
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: how there seems to be so many of those. There's

21
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: also at the moment so many of these types of

22
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: movies Hollywood, you know, looking for original stories, but they

23
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: don't necessarily want to start from scratch, right, so they go, okay, well,

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: Air Jordan's a lot of people own Air Jordan's, let's

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: tell the origin story of those shoes. And there's a

26
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: pre prepared market for a film like that. And so

27
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: in this case, it's about the champagne Verve click co

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: which one thing I learned from this movie is we've

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: been doing it wrong, have we? So you know how

30
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: you to how Moette and Shandon is Moete not Mouey.

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: But in Australia we give us a bottle of Muey,

32
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: it's actually Moet because the dude who found that it

33
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: was clawed, ye Moette, yeah, exactly, So so many things

34
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: we pronounced wrong. Turns out we're doing the same thing

35
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: with verve click car. No, not that we're not that

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: we're necessarily pronouncing it. Tell me it's click it no

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: human clicker. But so so we say we go to

38
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: the bottle shop or the pub our bottle of verve. Right,

39
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to say it like that you're supposed to.

40
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: You're supposed to say bottle of clicko. Okay, because verv

41
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: in French means widow. And the actual name of the

42
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: champ clicko. Just like if like it was called mister Clicko,

43
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: we're calling it mister instead of You can't go wrong

44
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: with that. So in France they call it clicko, so

45
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: they'll say our bottle of clicko silver plank. So there

46
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: you go. So that's a little fun fact. But who

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: stops it. I don't know how many people are going

48
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: to change that habit and start calling it clicko. But

49
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: you know, that's just that's there. You know the correct

50
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: way to do it. Also Bolinger, not Bolinger. There you

51
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: go every days of school days. But the real story

52
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: behind this woman is incredible. So so Madame Clicko Barbe

53
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: Nicole Clicko was married to a vineyr on, a guy

54
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: who owned a d He was only a young fella.

55
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: He died when she was twenty seven years old. Six

56
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: years into the marriage. He died. They said it was

57
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: like a typhoid fever, but potentially it was a suicide.

58
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 1: The real life story is a bit hazy on how

59
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: he died. All we know is he left her the vineyard,

60
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: and this was at a time during Napoleonic France. Napoleon

61
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: was in charge, and he decreed that women weren't allowed

62
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: to own businesses, they weren't allowed to vote, they didn't

63
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: have a lot of civil and political rights at the time.

64
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: The bottle real short man syndrome. And so she kind

65
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: of defied all of those laws and took on the

66
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: vineyard and decided to really throw the champagne industry on

67
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: its head by coming up with some new innovations. She

68
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: invented the rose champagne, pink champagne. She invented some techniques

69
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: that are still used today, and that was so revolutionary

70
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: at the time. It enabled her to get her champagne

71
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: into the marketplace months before everybody else. And she managed

72
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: to keep these techniques secret for decades because her workers

73
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: were so loyal to her, even though at the time

74
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: the establishment, all the blokes of the Champagne region were

75
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: trying to take the vineyard off her because she was

76
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: a woman and she wasn't allowed to do it. And

77
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: so it's a fascinating true story of this pioneer who

78
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: grew one of the biggest champagne houses in the world

79
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: still is and a few years ago it was the

80
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: second highest selling champagne in the world. And Madame Clicko

81
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: in this film is played by Hailey Bennett, American actress,

82
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: and you might have seen her in that musical adaptation

83
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: of Cyrano with Peter Dinklige a couple of years ago.

84
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: She's so good at these types of period pieces. She's

85
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: good at kind of being sort of fiercely independent but

86
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: also quite vulnerable as she's dealing with the trauma of

87
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: her husband who's passed away. That's kind of told through

88
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: flashbacks in the film. He's played by Tom Sturage. And

89
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: her kind of close relationship and confident in the film

90
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: is her wine cellar, this guy who was famous for

91
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: traveling around Europe selling wine. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. She

92
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: also she also had a good relationship with her wine

93
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: cellar with a C. As your husband drops off the twig,

94
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: you spent a lot of time in the cell course,

95
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: the wine cell it turns out, and the wine cellar

96
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: with an S is played by Sam Riley, who's who's

97
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: claim to fame was He played Ian Curtis in that

98
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: movie Control and at the time thought he was going

99
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: to be the next big look because he was amazing

100
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: in that, but it didn't really happen. But he's he's

101
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: great in this film as well. It's it's one of

102
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: those stories of you know, a woman sort of fighting

103
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: against the establishment, the patriarchy, and and really it's it

104
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: kind of resonates through to today as well, I think,

105
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: and we'd probably like to see a few more a

106
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: bit more gender representation. It's sort of the upper ends

107
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: of you know, some corporations. But so she was, she

108
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: was an amazing real life figure. The film itself beautifully shot,

109
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: very very interesting, but it ends too soon. It's only

110
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: about eighty five minutes long, and it kind of cuts

111
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: off just she's just as she's just as she's about

112
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: to have success. You see her struggle and struggle and struggle,

113
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: and jeez, it's going to be great when she finally

114
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: turns the corner and starts to have some success. Movie

115
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: movie and movie on the precipice. So it's ultimately it's

116
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: a bit unsatisfying. It's like a champagne that doesn't have

117
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: enough fizz. Yeah, and so that probably lets her down

118
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: a little bit because you know, really all of the

119
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: things that she did that made her so successful. You

120
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: don't see any of that. Yeah, but it is, it is.

121
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: It's a fun film. It's in English as well, even

122
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: though it's a French story. It's in English with a

123
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: bunch of English cast members. But it's it's a it's

124
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: an interesting little slice of history, very nice. Well, how

125
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: many chin chins are you giving it? I'm going to

126
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: give it three three. Get a bottle of Clicko next

127
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: time I go to the BWS. Yes, yeah, we'll try

128
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: and get it right. You learn something every day, Nichael Nike.

129
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: There you got
