That's How We Women Are

About This Movie

That's How We Women Are is a curious little film from 1971 that stitches together twelve episodes, all showcasing the charm and wit of Monica Vitti. The tone fluctuates between light-hearted comedy and a more introspective look at womanhood, which feels quite refreshing. The pacing varies, some segments feel brisk while others linger just enough to draw you in. It’s distinct for its practical effects, which, though modest, add a quirky charm, complementing Vitti's performance. Her ability to navigate the humor and pathos in every segment is a standout, making each episode compelling in its own right.

This film has had a somewhat limited release history, making it a bit of a hidden gem for collectors. Vintage copies can be scarce, often turning up in specialty shops or through collector exchanges. Interest in Vitti's work continues to grow, particularly among those who appreciate lesser-known international comedies, so it’s worth keeping an eye out.
