Problem
Antonia's Line begins with an end, Antonia's death, but lives again in Sara's (her great grand-daughter) recounting of this feminist utopian fable. As Antonia says to Sara, "Nothing dies forever - life begins after it ends because life wants to live." In making this film, feminist filmmaker Marlene Gorris takes a critical look at traditional Western culture and how it subordinates 'the female'. Gorris does this through clever character interaction and filmmaking techniques (camera shots, sound track, narrative structure, use of 'magic realism') that take patriarchal structures, turning them on their heads. Choose an example of this and explain how you think she projects a feminist construct. To what end?
