LIST OF FILMS ABOUT A WOMAN ON HER OWN
 





DARK GLASSES (2022) DIR. BY DARIO ARGENTO

LADY VENGEANCE (2005) DIR. BY PARK CHAN-WOOK

PARK’S SECOND FILM FROM THE VENGEANCE SERIES BUT TOLD FROM A WOMAN’S PERSPECTIVE. A VERY VIVID AND BRUTAL STORY FROM THE ICONIC DIRECTOR OF OLDBOI (2003). 





FANNY AND ALEXANDER (1982)
DIR. BY INGMAR BERGMAN

CONSIDERED TO BE A CHRISTMAS CLASSIC, THIS IS A STORY ABOUT FAMILY BONDS, A TRAUMA OF LOSING A FAMILY MEMBER, AND A LACK OF WOMEN’S RIGHTS IN THE 1900S SWEDEN.





THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD (2021)
DIR. BY JOACHIM TRIER

KILL BILL: VOL. 1 & 2 (2003 – 2004)
DIR. BY QUENTIN TARANTINO

YES, AS YOU CHECKED, I NEED TO HAVE BOTH OF THESE TARANTINO’S MOVIES SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT AND BOTH BRILLIANT TO JUST CHOOSE ONE. A PLAYBOOK FOR A PERFECT VENGEANCE CINEMA, EVERYONE’S FAVOURITE (DO I EVEN NEED TO MENTION THE PLOT?). 





JACKIE BROWN (1997) DIR. BY QUENTIN TARANTINO

AN ODE TO PAM GRIER, STARRING PAM GRIER. THE STORY OF A FLIGHT ATTENDANT WHO GOT IN A STICKY SITUATION AND PUT THE BAD GUYS BEHIND BARS. UNMISSABLE AND MESMERISING.

TRAPS (1998) DIR. BY VERA CHYTILOVA
