Ladies

About This Movie

So, 'Ladies' is interesting, right? It's part of that FIFF section ‘Une Histoire de Fribourg: Terre de hockey sur glace,’ which already sets a unique vibe. The film delves into themes of camaraderie and struggle within the backdrop of ice hockey, but it’s really more about the personal stories of the women involved. The pacing has a gentle rhythm, almost contemplative, which contrasts nicely with the intensity of the sport. You can tell there was a focus on practical effects, giving it a raw, authentic feel. There’s also something poignant about the performances—each character feels lived-in, layered. It's not flashy, but it has a quiet strength that resonates.

‘Ladies’ is a recent addition to the drama genre, and its connection to the FIFF makes it a unique piece. As a new release, it may not be widely circulated yet, which can spark interest among collectors looking for lesser-known titles. The film's thematic exploration of women's roles in sports adds a layer of depth that sets it apart, making it an intriguing pick as the collector community continues to expand its horizons.
