Media: film
Who: Dutch filmmaker Marlene Gorris
When: 1982
What: A brave and fascinating film which begins with an impromptu murder of a male shopkeeper by a group of women, all strangers to each other. After their arrest, a female psychiatrist is enlisted to explain the behaviour of the women. As she learns more about each woman, she begins to understand not only their motives for the murder, but the very the nature of social priviledge and their intersections with gender and class. A Question of Silence is often classified as "feminist" in its attempts to reveal a network of social politics underlying seemingly apolitical lives.
