a radical film that reimagines how cinema can be made theconversation Rewriting the rules
Women Talking is an exploration of the possibilities and difficulties of imagining a future free from violence, both on and off screen.
Words matter. They give expression to our experiences, allow us to tell our stories and make sense of our place within the world. With language comes the ability to speak: to speak for, and to speak out. To name injustices and imagine alternative futures. The radical feminist Audre Lorde tells us that our silence will not protect us, that we must turn our silence into words, and those words into action.
The director Sarah Polley’s Women Talking follows a group of women as they find the language to talk about their experiences of violence and collectively imagine a future that might bring an end to the harms they have endured at the hands of men. Based on Miriam Toews 2018 novel of the same name, both the film and the book are an imagined response to a series of real-life sexual attacks on a group of women in a Mennonite community in Bolivia.
The film is set almost exclusively in a barn in which the women of the colony hold a secret meeting to determine whether to stay or leave following the attacks. Crucially, the women are unable to take the minutes of their meeting, as they can’t read and write, reminding viewers of language’s power to exclude; that language is man-made and so serves those who created it.
Women Talking is a 2022 American drama film written and directed by Sarah Polley. It is based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Miriam Toews, and inspired by real-life events that occurred at the Manitoba Colony, a remote and isolated Mennonite community in Bolivia.[4] The film stars Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley, Judith Ivey, Ben Whishaw, and Frances McDormand, who is also a producer on the film.
Een jonge vrouw slaapt alleen, in bed. Er zijn zichtbare kneuzingen en wonden op haar heupen en bovenbenen - verwondingen opgelopen door verkrachting.
In 2010 ontdekken de vrouwen en meisjes van een naamloze, geïsoleerde doopsgezinde kolonie dat de mannen kalmeringsmiddel voor koeien hebben gebruikt om hen te onderwerpen en te verkrachten. De aanvallers worden gearresteerd en opgesloten in een nabijgelegen stad. De meeste mannen van de kolonie reizen om toezicht te houden op de borgtocht, en laten de vrouwen twee dagen alleen om te bepalen hoe verder te gaan. Ze houden een volksraadpleging om te beslissen of ze blijven en niets doen, blijven en vechten of vertrekken.
De stemming is zelfs tussen blijven en vechten, en vertrekken. Elf van de vrouwen van de kolonie komen samen op een hooizolder om een definitieve beslissing te nemen, hoewel Scarface, een "inactieve" vrouw, de vergadering verlaat nadat ze teleurgesteld is geraakt in de discussie en haar onwillige dochter Anna en weerspannige kleindochter Helena meeneemt. haar. August, de onderwijzeres van de kolonie en een van de twee overgebleven mannen, voegt zich bij de vrouwen om de bijeenkomst op te nemen, aangezien geen van de vrouwen heeft leren lezen of schrijven. De tweede man is Melvin (voorheen Nettie), een transgender man die na verkrachting niet meer praat, behalve tegen de jongere kinderen. Daarom moet hij over hen waken en de vrouwen waarschuwen voor externe ontwikkelingen.

A young woman sleeps alone, in bed. There are visible bruises and wounds on her hips and upper inner thighs—injuries sustained through rape.
In 2010, the women and girls of an unnamed, isolated Mennonite colony discover that the men have been using cow tranquilizer to subdue and rape them. The attackers are arrested and imprisoned in a nearby city. Most of the men of the colony travel to oversee the bail, leaving the women by themselves for two days to determine how they will proceed. They hold a plebiscite to decide whether to stay and do nothing, stay and fight, or leave.
The vote is tied between staying and fighting, and leaving. Eleven of the colony's women band together at a hayloft to come to a final decision, though Scarface, a "do-nothing" woman, leaves the meeting after becoming disillusioned with the discussion, taking her hesitant daughter Anna and resistant granddaughter, Helena, with her. August, the colony's schoolteacher and one of two remaining men, joins the women to record the meeting, as none of the women have been taught to read or write. The second man is Melvin (formerly Nettie), a transgender man who after being raped doesn't speak, except to the younger children. Therefore, he is left in charge of watching over them, and warning the women of any outside developments.
