RÉPONSE DE FEMMES (NOTRE CORPS, NOTRE SEXE)

Year1975 Duration8 min. DirectorAgnès Varda
The TV channel Antenne 2 asked a series of filmmakers to answer the question “What is a woman?” In this film-tract, or film pamphlet, Agnès Varda gives some answers. Against a white background, several women speak up against the oppressive myths that surround femininity and stage a repertoire of untapped possibilities. How can we experience our bodies? How can we experience sex?
