    1960s Women in Cinema: "Daisies" and "Cleo from 5 to 7"

    In the 1960s, Hollywood studios hired virtually no women to direct their films. In Europe, women were directing trailblazing movies. We take a look at Agnes Varda's "Cleo from 5 to 7" and Věra Chytilová's "Daisies". Hosted by Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler, with guest Jeff Richardson. 0:00 Introduction, 0:40 Daisies, 14:03 Cleo from 5 to 7, 29:55 The Best Movies of the 1960s

    1950s Women in Cinema: "Eyewitness" and "Forever a Woman"

    Our women director miniseries continues with two VERY different movies from the 1950s. Muriel Box's "Eyewitness" is a fun, silly bit of pulp, while Kinuyo Tanaka's "Forever a Woman" (or its original title, "The Eternal Breasts") is a warm if dire look at female isolation in post-War Japan. Hosted by Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler, with guest Nina Chernik 0:00 Introduction, 1:14 Eyewitness, 7:31 This Other Eden, 8:49 Forever a Woman #classicmovies #akirakurosawa #blackandwhite

    1940s Women in Cinema: "Dance, Girl, Dance", "Not Wanted" and "The Last Stage"

    As we continue our look at a century of women-directed movies, we take a serious turn in the 1940s. Ida Lupino's "Not Wanted" and Dorothy Arzner's "Dance, Girl, Dance" are discussed in terms of what they said about their directors and cast. Then we turn to Wanda Jakubowska's "The Last Stage", a movie made by a Holocaust survivor, filmed in the concentration camp at which he was imprisoned.
