Plurielles

About This Movie

So, Plurielles is this intriguing blend of domestic strife and socio-political commentary. The couple's exchanges feel raw and relatable, almost like a slice-of-life snapshot of their struggles. What's distinctive here is how the actors interweave readings from Engels' work, making the film feel like a live-action essay on feminism and societal structures. It's not your typical narrative; it drags you into those heavy discussions about gender roles in the late '70s. The pacing can feel a bit unorthodox, but it really allows the viewer to sit with the ideas being presented. The director's interviews add another layer, giving you a glimpse into the thoughts behind the camera, though the anonymity adds an aura of mystery. It's a film that lingers in your mind for days.

Plurielles has had limited release formats, with VHS being the most common but scarce in the collector market. There’s not much in terms of official restorations or re-releases, which makes finding a good quality copy a bit of a treasure hunt. Interest seems to be rising among collectors who appreciate its experimental approach and the historical context it provides. The film’s thought-provoking content makes it a unique piece to own, especially for those keen on feminist cinema from that era.
