The film depicts the real and fictional lives of a group of performers and their choreographer/director, ending with a series of tableaux vivants based on G.W. Pabst's 1929 film Pandora’s Box. [6]
  • Film About a Woman Who..., 1974, 105 min. A landmark of feminist cinema, this work subverts nearly every convention of narrative film while unfolding "the poetically licensed story of a woman who finds it difficult to reconcile certain external facts with her image of her own perfection." [7]

  • Privilege, 1990, 105 min. The subject of aging and menopause becomes cause for a multifaceted analysis of inequality and discrimination around issues of age, gender, race, and socioeconomic status. Interviews and staged scenes continually blur the line between documentary and fiction. [11]

This film follows the semiautobiographical story of Doris, who falls in love with a woman for the first time in her early sixties, is diagnosed with breast cancer, and must undergo a mastectomy.
