IFFF packt aus: The Girls

In the organizer's words:

The Girls
Mai Zetterling
SE 1968 Feature film 100'

An over-the-top feminist comedy. Rehearsals are underway in the theater for "Lysistrata", the ancient play by Aristophanes. Lysistrata incites the women to go on a sex strike until the men end their all-destructive war. Three of the actresses, Liz, Marianne and Gunilla, find disturbing echoes of their own lives in their characters. How can women regain control of their lives and at the same time make the world a better place? It's time to get the message out to an apathetic public. But is society ready for a wake-up call? It may come as no surprise that Simone de Beauvoir called Mai Zetterling's riotous feature film "the best movie ever made by a woman".
