Private Lives, Public Fates - Too Much, Melodrama on Film
As part of the BFI’s UK-wide season Too Much: Melodrama on Film, CFF presents a selection of melodrama films held together by the strong, assertive presence of women. Join us on journeys through Mexico City’s red-light district, Japan, Tunisia and American suburbia, where women’s struggles embody the larger political issues at stake. Revolutions, discrimination, abuse, underground structures of power and the flow of capital all affect these characters and in turn, enrich the way we perceive emotions as acute reactions to the world around us.
