How to Be a Woman and Not Die in the Attempt |
|
[Cómo ser mujer y no morir en el intento] 1991 - Spain Director Starring |
Humorless, regressive thing about a woman who has it all but can’t get her husband home for dinner on time. Steals liberally from great post-feminist (I hate that term, but here it applies) comedies like Nine to Five and Women on the Verge which succeed in creating loopy, insecure heroines who remain independent and true to themselves. This is the sort of film that offends me (as opposed to Pepi et al) — and as I was actually disappointed in Diane Keaton for doing a role like hers in Because I Said So, I cannot countenance Carmen in this. “I’m fat and old.” Shut up. Some of these ladies stand for something and I can’t bear watching a slim knockoff of an Almodovar Loca descend this far. |
