纽约的女人们

A film version of a play Fassbinder directed in Hamburg,Clare Booth Luce's The Women. It gave Fassbinder an opportunity to indulge his passion for working with women - there are forty women in the play and no men. The play dates from the 1930s,and Fassbinder was accused by the critics of being anti-women (a frequent criticism of late). As usual,he chose to work against the text,and from this has constructed an entertaining and engaging play about love between upper-class women with nothing better to do than sneer at others when things go wrong with their lives and loves.
