Poster for Crashing Waves

2021 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Poster for Mutiny

1983 · ★ 5.0 (1)

Its central images are of women: at home, on the street, at the workplace, at school, talking, singing, jumping on trampolines, playing the violin. The syntax of the film reflects the possibilities and limitations of speech, while “politically, physically, and realistically” flirting with the language of opposition.
