Comments
All those ten films, American and French, propose very acute explorations of female experiences, desires, sufferings and attempts at emancipation. Most are made by male filmmakers but the most recent is a woman’s film: The Milk of Human Kindnes by Dominique Cabrera, a French female filmmaker.
