Since the 1980s the number of women regularly directing films has increased significantly
in most Western countries: in France, Claire Denis and Catherine Breillat have joined
Agnes Varda in gaining international renown, while British directors Lynne Ramsay
and Andrea Arnold have forged award-winning careers in feature film. This new volume
in the Thinking Cinema series draws on feminist theorists and critics from Simone
de Beauvoir on to offer readings of a range of the most important and memorable of
these films from the 1990s and 2000s, focusing as it does so on how the films convey
women's lives and identities. Mainstream entertainment cinema traditionally distorts
the representation of women, objectifying their bodies, minimizing their agency, and
avoiding the most important questions about how cinema can 'do justice' to female
subjectivity: Kate Ince suggests that the films of independent women directors are
progressively redressing the balance, and thereby reinvigorating both the narratives
and the formal ambitions of European cinema. Ince uses feminist philosophers to cast
a new veil over such films as Sex Is Comedy, Morvern Callar, White Material, and Fish
Tank; and includes a timeline of developments in women's film-making and feminist
film theory from 1970 to 2011
