The Women

Nominated by

Because, in a male dominated industry, this film, made in black and white, only stars women. The dialogue is pithy, witty and goes straight for the jocular vein. Every female character shoots from the lip. They have black belts in the art of tongue fu. It’s a brilliant film, so fast-paced, it leaves skid marks across your brain. There’s a great male myth that women aren’t funny. After seeing this film, you’ll know for sure that if a man ever states that women can’t tell jokes, it’s because we marry them.
