I grew up in a very feminist family. Not only my dad has always supported my mom to surpass herself, but also most of my closest friends were raised by single women. Thus, the notion that women are naturally inferior to men has always seemed absurd. For this reason, I particularly enjoy films that empower women and criticize gender inequality.
I thought that My Brilliant Career made a strong statement for women not only because of the story it conveyed but also because it was entirely produced by women. Moreover, it was very nice to see influences of European art in the cinematography. In fact, some of the recurrent landscape shots resembled French impressionism.
