00:00You are able to sort of slip in and out of accents in so many of your roles.
00:05What did you expect?
00:06I just, you know, knew I could do it better than anybody else.
00:09Fallout 2 is everything in golf, just like life, ha ha!
00:12In this one you're doing a German accent, I was wondering...
00:15Of some kind, of some kind.
00:16I was wondering, how's your Canadian accent?
00:19You're here in Canada, you know...
00:21See, this is the thing, there's not a lot of call for someone to do an Australian accent,
00:24so you're constantly adopting an accent of another character, and that's fantastic,
00:29but then it's very hard to return to home base.
00:31I can pick things up quickly, but then I forget them equally as quickly.
00:34I do tend to get a little caught up in the dramatics.
00:37Germany caught up in the dramatics?
00:39We've seen this before.
00:41In the black comedy Rumours, Kate plays the Chancellor of Germany
00:45during a G7 conference that goes bizarrely awry.
00:48Listen.
00:49What is that?
00:50I don't know.
00:51A giant brick!
00:54Roy Dupuis portrays the Canadian Prime Minister,
00:56who forms a connection with Kate's Hilda
00:59and embodies some of the most clichéd Canadian stereotypes.
01:03He feels the burden of leadership.
01:05You can't solve all of Canada's problems.
01:08Well, speaking of Australian accents or expressions,
01:11I feel like, you know, this film paints Canadians as kind of,
01:16to borrow an expression, shonky?
01:18Shonky, yeah.
01:19Oh, I love the word.
01:21Shonky means something just is so badly made.
01:25Would you like to apologise to your Canadian fans?
01:28I didn't write the script!
01:30When you see the footage, the actual footage of the G7
01:33going through these cultural events, it's a parody.
01:36And I think all of the leaders are clichéd,
01:39deliberately so, in the same way.
01:41Not just for Canadians.
01:42You seem tense.
01:44Do you think a massage might help?
01:46We'll give it a pass, especially considering Rumours
01:49comes from the brain of avant-garde Canadian filmmaker
01:52Guy Maddin.
01:53Have you seen my Winnipeg?
01:56Guy Maddin.
01:57Docufantasia, that's a really great way of describing it.
02:00We were shooting in the wilds of Budapest forest,
02:03playing the members of the G7,
02:05who have come to solve this unnamed crisis,
02:10but yet they're trying to do it in this pat, rhetorical,
02:14ineffective political speak
02:16that we are all so sick of around the world.
02:19It felt increasingly like a documentary,
02:21even though we were being pursued by bog monsters.
02:24I understand you're upset.
02:26Run!
02:28Well, thank you.
02:29It's so great to talk to you.
02:29Thanks for your time.
02:30And I'm going to try one more.
02:32Haroo.
02:33Haroo.
02:34Haroo.
02:35What's a haroo?
02:36Oh, haroo.
02:37This is very, yeah.
02:38So, haroo.
02:39Such buh-bye.
02:40Maybe I'm saying it wrong.
02:41Haroo.
02:42Oh, I don't know.
02:43Maybe, haroo.
