Seven Women-Seven Sins
Produced by Maxi Cohen
1987, 101 minutes, Color, VHS/16mm, Subtitled
Order No. W99017

What constitutes a deadly sin in this day and age, and how do you approach such a subject? Seven of the world’s best-known women directors produce their own version of celluloid sin in this omnibus film. GLUTTONY is directed by Helke Sander, a German director whose body of work includes REDUPERS - THE ALL AROUND REDUCED PERSONALITY. New York-based Bette Gordon (VARIETY, EMPTY SUITCASES) interpreted GREED. Another New Yorker, Maxi Cohen, directed the award-winning ANGER segment. SLOTH was the domain of Belgian Chantal Akerman and Austrian Valie Export (INVISIBLE ADVERSARIES) addressed lUST. Laurence Gavron from France looked at ENVY and Ulrike Ottinger, the German director whose work includes JOHANNA D'ARC OF MONGOLIA, directed PRIDE. SEVEN WOMEN - SEVEN SINS is a perfect introduction for those new to the world of women’s filmmaking and an interesting comparison of styles for those who are familiar with the work of these seven directors.
