Rainers Passionate POV On Lesbian Identity

[samxxxul · 7/10 · 25 November 2022]

On the occasion of Yvonne Rainer's birthday i had revisited some her works. As i do for other filmmakers, i just wanted to share my thoughts on this film which is one of her best. In the film there is everything that one can expect from atypical Rainer. The bleak, interesting and personal picture of middle-aged lesbian couple, the concept of love, breast cancer. Rainer paints an absurd portrait in her style about the acceptance, the inner conflicts and shows moments that are likely to be distasteful to many but it is a familiar troupe in most of her works. It can be light-hearted but there is a melancholic feel with the deeper themes that Rainer manages to get across the viewer.

TOUCHING,REMARKABLE,OUTSTANDING,GREAT PERFORMANCES.......

This film chronicles the relationship between Mildred and Doris two older women falling in love with each other and coping with years of ingrained behavior but finding the strength to let go of their old habits in order to form a loving relationship. This film also touches on the harsh realities of breast cancer as the director herself painfully demonstrates but the film is joyous a celebration of love and life that it should not be missed. Make no mistake this is a film filled with touching and real performances but also the joy of falling in love all over again. A MUST SEE FILM FOR EVERYONE,ESPECIALLY WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
