bowieisaprincess:writing-reading-watching-living: Since Friday the 13th, there is an amazing feminist French movie, Je Ne Suis Pas Un Homme Facile (I’m Not An Easy Man), directed by Eleonore Pourriat on Netflix. It’s about a macho man who got hit on the head and wakes up in a world where gender roles are reversed. Women are in charge and he is treated by them like he used to treat women in his/our reality. It seems to be a light-hearted romcom but it’s in fact a bitter and on point criticism of our society. Eleonore Pourriat also directed the short movie Majorité Opprimée, which inspired Je Ne Suis Pas Un Homme Facile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpfaza-Mw4I This is the kind of movie Tumblr needs to support and talk about! I would like to add that in an interview, the director said specifically that the world represented in her film is not how she thinks the world would be if women ran it, but was precisely a device used to highlight how each and every small action in woman’s life is affected by patriarchy. -- source link
