Immer die verflixten Weiber stands out for its quirky blend of comedy and social commentary. Set against the backdrop of a Swiss community, the film captures the struggle for women’s rights with a playful yet pointed tone. The pacing has a whimsical rhythm, allowing for moments of levity amidst the more serious themes of empowerment and rebellion. The practical effects are minimal but serve the narrative well, and the performances, especially that of the midwife Spyri, bring a genuine charm. There’s an engaging absurdity to the plot, especially with the clever twist of using the head of community’s ex-lover.
This film has had a somewhat limited release history and is not easily found on modern streaming platforms, which certainly adds to its allure for collectors. It has circulated in various formats, but the original prints are becoming scarce, making it increasingly sought after. Those interested in feminist cinema or regional European films from the 70s might find this one particularly intriguing, as it offers a distinct perspective not often represented in mainstream collections.
