Description
In The Girls, three actresses prepare to go on the road in a theater production of Lysistrata, Aristophanes' classic comic play about women and war. As they re-assess and deal with the problems in their respective private lives, they recognize the parallels with the play and begin to realize that it is serious (even tragic) after all. The Girls is actress Mai Zetterling's fourth feature film as director and a key work in feminist cinema, presenting the eccentric, often funny, and very positive way the three women's minds work.
This film screening is part of the Johns Hopkins Film and Media Studies Program's 1968 on Film series and hosted by Phoebe Kwass, a licensed independent clinical social worker from Andover, Massachusetts.
