The winner of numerous festival prizes, this early work by Lynne Sachs is a provocative film essay on women's perspectives on their bodies in a man's world. It touches on everything from the female form's depiction in Renaissance art to the school of 19th century scientific thought equating abnormal physiognomy with criminality. This adventurous collage also features the filmmaker's own diaristic recollections (notably of being fitted for a diaphragm by a cold, intimidating doctor), poetical staged sequences, other women's audio testimonies, an old classroom instructional reel about menstruation, prose by Gertrude Stein and feminine ideals like the undulating young woman performing in fish-tail costumes at Florida's kitschy Weeki-Wachee Springs Underwater Mermaid Theater. - Dennis Harvey .
