Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast
from News Talks at be.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Snakes. Where is it the Sison?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
This is Chapel roan hotly anticipated new track off the
back of one of the craziest years of Chapel Rohan's life.
So she blew up. She was everywhere. It's been kind
of hard to escape her, and she isn't stopping twenty
four to ten on News Talks, he'd be time to
catch up with our film review of Francesca Rudkin for
her picks this weekend More than a Good Morning. Okay,
(00:56):
two very different kind of films for us today, which
is a great thing. Let's start off with the film
opening the New Zealand International Film Festival, tell us about
It was just an accident.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
This is a film by Jaffa Panahee and he is
an Iranian filmmaker. He makes very heartful, heart felt human
stories about life in Iran. He calls them social films.
The rating calls them proper Canada against the system. He
has been imprisoned twice. First in he was on his own.
(01:27):
The second time he was with a group of political presidents.
He's done a hunger strike here to sell his home
to make Veil. He's banned from making movies, and he's
also banned actually from talking about them, but he keeps
making films and he continues to live in Iran because
that is his home and the experience that he had
(01:50):
in prison has very much inspired this story. He's had
a travel band based on him for about fifteen years,
but that was lifted and he was able to travel
to France earlier in the year where this film, it
was just an accident, played in competition at a can
film festival. It won the pandor the Top prize, and
I can totally see why it is. It is entertaining,
(02:13):
but it's thought provoking and chilling, and it really is
quite wonderful. I just I just like to say straight up, Jack,
some people might be going an Iranian film. The last
Uanian film I watched with two and a half hours long.
Can I just say this is a really great one.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Hour forty Okay, good?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, this is the film fecial and it's a great
get for them to have the film to open. It
really is fantastic. It starts off, as I mentioned, as
a bit of a comedy. There's a lot of black humor.
He's out our main character. And one night he's working
at a garage, and one night a family breaks down
outside his garage and I ask for help. And when
(02:54):
he comes, when the gentleman comes in, he recognizes the
squeak of his false leg to be that of the
intelligence officer who interrogated him and talk with him while
he was in prison. And he just has this moment
and he hears his voice and hears shorts him. So
(03:16):
he follows him home if he lives, and then he
cannot get this out of his mind. He's closed him.
The next day and he gets an opportunity to hit
him with his band, So he hits him with his band.
He puts him in the van, and then he takes
them out to the desert where he plans to bury him.
But then he has a little moment where he goes
bearing him alive. He goes, hang on a matter, I
bet a check he is the right person. And so
(03:37):
then we go off on this wonderful little journey as
he picks up other political business who've been released to
try and identify his character. Is he really the intelligence
officer who ruined so many of their lives and tortures
them and things. So it's wonderfully, it's wonderfully, it's it's humorous,
and they do it does beautiful. But as the film
goes on, it gets more and more serious and it
(03:58):
sort of leads to this, and it becomes a bit
of a thriller and in a way a bit of
a horror, and it leads to this very tension filled
explosive in there where you're not quite sure how things
are going to go. It really is absolutely fantastic and
an incredible look at sort of the reality of life
and around very intimate Jack because obviously he cannot go
(04:18):
out and make it obvious to everybody he's making a film.
A lot of a lot of the you know, the
shots are the film was shot from inside the van
or quite interior locations or quite quiet locations.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
It's not a they're not setting up, you're blocking off
a few streets and having big rigs and that kind
of thing.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
No, I know, that really adds to it and it
kind of brings you into these people's story. So yeah,
it's absolutely fantastic worre seeing at the festival. I'm pretty
sure it will come back at some point to general release.
But the festival screenings will be full and it is
a wonderful film to see surround us.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
No I saw that its one at Cahn, and once
the Film Festival got it, I just thought, oh my gosh,
I got to go and see that. Sounds amazing. So
that is it was just an accident showing at the
New Zealand International Film Festival. Next up, like I said,
something completely different, the story of friend of the Show
Dave Fishwick, who of course, we interviewed when Bank of
Dave one was introduced. This is Bank of Dave two.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I'm dere do I know you talk the Bank of
dev of Dave. I'm bunker Dad Guilty's job.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Okay, tell us about it, Francisca.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Okay. So this is another predictable but lovely story of
Burnley businessman who sold bands, of course, and as you
will know, Jack, you sort of took on the banks
by starting his own community bank, Bank of Day so
the little people were able to get loans. And in
this particular story, he is we've got a very similar narrative.
He is taking on the payday lenders, you know, the
online venders who charge a fortune and insurance and we're
(05:57):
ruining people's lives in the community. So once again, Joe
steps up to help these ordinary people, vulnerable people whose
lives have been you know, really ad by this, and
she wants to do something about it, and so off
he goes. But the Payday members they fight back, and
they fight dirty, and there is sort of a connection
to American businessmen and ties to organized crime. But essentially
(06:17):
it really does unfold very much like the first film.
But I think it's all about the performances and they
are very heartfelt and Rory kinnear as Dave was absolutely fabulous,
And there's just something a little bit special about knowing
that this guy really does exist and that people can
stand up and you know that it is based loosely
(06:40):
on a true story that you know, people can make
an impact and stand up and look after their community.
So yeah, it's a little bit it's a bit lighter
fair than our first film.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
You're weird, Joy Arrange. This is what we love, Francisca.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I try. That's why I try to bring you Jack
very good.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Hey, dere, I ask you, you've got a busy day today.
Induction huh oh.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Stop it hang on.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
When I say induction. People are going to thinking on
what's she being induced for?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
No?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
No, no, no, no, no no no no, you're getting confused.
Do you mind telling us what you're heading off to
do today?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Well? I love to do pottery, Jack, thank you for
bringing this up. I just good my little hobbit. No.
About a year ago, I decided I needed to do something,
create it, and I wanted to create things with my hands.
So I go to the Clay Center. I've been doing
classes at the Clay Center and I absolutely love it,
and I've just come off the waiting list to become
a member, and I'm very I'm going to be able
to be able to go in there whenever I want
(07:36):
and make a huge mess with clay, which is essentially.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
What I do. Ah fun, that'd be great. Enjoy it.
We'll be thinking of you, looking forward to your next creations,
and we'll catch you again next week.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Thanks Jack.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
That is Francisca Rudkin, our film reviewers. So those films
once again, it was just an accident. Open the New
Zealand International Film Festival. That is showing in cinemas. Bank
of Dave two The Lone Ranger is on Netflix, Is
it Dave Fishick or Dave Fishwick. It's fish Wick, I
think a but you know it's one of those. It's
like the name Warwick. You know how some people look
(08:11):
at the name Warwick and they go Warwick Dave. So
it's f I s h. I think we've got that.
But that's fish and then w I c k Wick Fishwick,
Dave Fishwick as opposed to Phish. Yeah, I'm sticking with Fishwick.
Bank of Dave two is on Netflix.
