Before Roe v. Wade #2: Story of Women
Sunday Mar 13, 2022 @ 1:30 PM Central Time
From French director Claude Chabrol comes the compelling true story of a working-class housewife who, to make ends meet when her husband is unable to find work in Vichy France during WWII, begins to perform illegal abortions, evading the Nazis, but ending having to pay finally for her “sins.” Filmed on actual locations, Story of Women is an honest, original, and utterly absorbing film, which won Isabelle Huppert the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival. (1988, in French with English subtitles, 108 minutes.)
