Jackie and Greg return to the Seine for their third consecutive film set along a river, Jean Renoir's famously unfinished A DAY IN THE COUNTRY (PARTIE DE CAMPAGNE) from 1936. Topics of discussion include a chat on mid-length movies (the film runs 41 minutes), the male gaze, why the film went unfinished and what's missing, and whether Renoir intended the assault at the center of the film to be troubling or romantic -- is it THE VIRGIN SPRING or A ROOM WITH A VIEW?
