Hadley Robinson, Vivian, in “Moxie” – NETFLIX © 2020
There is not only the direct in life, there is also the replay. From YouTube to Netflix to TV channel replays and radio station podcasts, 20 minutes every Sunday concocts a list of things to see, or review, listen to or listen to again.
A breath of revolt with “Moxie” on Netflix
Directed by the awesome Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation), the teen movie Moxie would almost make you want to go back to high school to take up arms (so to speak). Vivian, a discreet student, not to say invisible, decides to start an anonymous newspaper, Moxie, to denounce the sexism and toxic masculinity that plague high school. A wind of revolt blows over the students and frees the voice of teenage girls, tired of being reduced to sexual objects. A feel good movie that makes the link between different generations of women and that takes up the basics of feminism (for those who have lived in a cave since 2017). Perfect for a Sunday evening.
The shock docu “I’m not a slut, I’m a journalist” on MyCanal
It was the shock documentary on sports journalism that struck a chord when it aired last week. I’m not a bitch, I’m a journalist, co-directed by Marie Portolano, former journalist of the encrypted channel leaving for M6, and Guillaume Priou, retraces more than forty years of struggle for parity in this very masculine sector. Through the testimonies of a dozen sports journalists, including Estelle Denis, Nathalie Iannetta and Isabelle Ithurburu, the documentary reveals behind the scenes of an ultra-sexist environment. Between scornful little sentences, comments on the physique and calls for rape on Twitter, these women face, often with a lump in their stomachs, an extremely violent daily life.
The difficult teenage years in “The New” on Amazon prime video
When we say that the world of children is ruthless … New, directed by Rudi Rosenberg, tells the story of Benoît’s hard start to school. Rejected by the cool gang, he finds himself stuck with the nazes who turn out to be much funnier than expected. In the vein of Beautiful kids, New paints a benevolent and hilarious portrait of a bunch of misfits. Hilarious.
“Le cœur sur la table” reinvents love stories on Binge Audio
Admit that a weekend without a podcast is not really a weekend. If you haven’t listened yet The heart on the table, urgently catch up. The new production by Victoire Tuaillon, behind the famous Balls on the table, on Binge Audio, explores, always from the angle of feminism, the injunctions to be in couple and dissects what is played behind our attractions. The journalist offers a hybrid format, close to the formidable A podcast of your own (Arte Radio), which mixes intimate testimonies with words of experts. You will look at your relationship or your celibacy differently and that’s good.
