Women

About This Movie

So, 'Women' from 2009 – it’s an intriguing piece, really. Directed by Carla Simón, though lesser-known, she captures this raw, organic vibe with her 16 mm film. The imagery is striking, almost haunting, as the bodies of women interact with the California forest floor. It’s all about connection, both with nature and each other, kind of a meditative experience. The pacing feels languid, almost dreamlike, which works well with the experimental tone. Makes you think of those early avant-garde days in cinema, doesn’t it? The performances have this natural quality, unforced, which is something you don't always see. It's distinct, for sure, and definitely stands out among shorts from that era.
