This week on Someone Else’s Movie, I finally welcome Chloé Robichaud to the show. I’ve been a fan of Chloé’s work ever since Sarah Prefers to Run arrived in 2013; a decade later, I got to introduce the world to Days of Happiness at TIFF, which was something of a highlight.

But it wasn’t until now — with Chloé’s new film Two Women on screens in Toronto and Montreal, and opening in Vancouver on Friday, following its Canadian premiere at Secret Movie Club earlier this winter — that I was able to get her on the podcast. And even though we didn’t have a lot of time, we had a really great conversation because Chloé picked Jean-Marc Valleé’s Café de Flore, the deeply personal 2011 drama that looks more and more like his masterpiece. And you can’t discuss Valleé without engaging with creativity, inspiration, structure, and life itself — so yeah, this was a good one. Christ, I miss him.

Anyway, you know what to do. Subscribe to the show on Apple, Spotify, YouTube Podcasts or your podcatcher of choice, or download the episode directly from the web and listen to it as you sleepwalk through your life, waiting for your soulmate to find you.

And then you can dig into some jam-packed editions of Shiny Things, because last week I wrote about Steven Soderbergh’s The Good German, The Informant!, Presence and Black Bag, which all arrived in 4K over the last few weeks, and Shout! Studios’ glorious Blaxploitation Classics, Vol. 1 boxed set. Have you seen Across 110th Street recently? It really holds up. Anyway, they’re free to read but if you felt like subscribing that’d be swell too.
