75One possible approach to 8 1/2 Women, I think, is to view it as a slowed-down, mannered, tongue-in-cheek silent comedy, skewed by Greenaway's anger and desire to manipulate.
-
50Some viewers may find this movie sexist or misogynist simply based on its premise, but it's a mistake to take Greenaway's symbolic narratives too literally.
-
38Greenaway's film is about making people's jaws drop.
-
258 1/2 Women is a collage-y, self-reflexive sort of film that is designed to shock but more often just annoys.
