This excellent documentary, about French feminism in the film industry (and outside of it), made me think a lot about the lines between how bad things were in the 1970s, and how (in a lot of ways) not much better they are now. (I'm thinking specifically about Adèle Haenel & what she's been going through right now.)

And why am I not surprised that Jane Fonda's French is pretty great? (Wait, she was married to Roger Vadim. That's going to help. Never mind.)
