简介：A film version of a play Fassbinder directed in Hamburg Clare Booth Luces The Women. It gave Fassbinder an opportunity to indulge his passion for working with women - there are forty women in the play and no men. The play dates from the 1930s and Fassbinder was accused by the critics of being anti-women a frequent criticism of late. As usual he chose to work against the text and from this has constructed an entertaining and engaging play about love between upper-class women with nothing better to do than sneer at others when things go wrong with their lives and loves.
