My film category on this blog is pretty small.
Why?
I can’t find that many ladymade films that I really like!
Via Salon, here is a slightly outdated but interesting look at why that may be.
Looking through these lists of female-directed films, I got some surprises. The tale of misogynistic and criminally insane yuppie Patrick Bates in American Psycho was directed by a woman??
Mary Harron and Patrick Bates, er Christian Bale
There are lists here and here of female directors and their films, but the selection is pretty slim!
It’s also a little sad that many female directors broke into the field by either acting first or having famous dads.
Do you have any female-directed film recommendations?
I’m gonna go through some of these lists, so expect some more ladymade film entries in the near future!
* I have no idea where people are getting this statistic!
