Tributes — Retrospectives — Films about cinema
QUéBEC, Canada | 96 minutes | 1979
Arriving home from work, Suzanne is raped. The initiator of the NFB’s avant-garde En tant que femmes series, director Anne-Claire Poirier, shakes us with her exposé of a stubborn taboo: rape as a tool of male dominance. A feminist tract, both brutal and necessary, the film is now considered a classic of Quebec cinema. The exceptional narration, somewhere between fiction and mise en abyme, still raises fundamental questions about the subjugation of women’s bodies throughout history.ERRATUM: The film was previously scheduled at 5:00pm in Cinémathèque Principale.In collaboration with Réalisatrices Équitables.
