Just finished watching this film and will probably spend more of my day wrapping my head around it than I will anything else. I loved it...I think.
Thoughts on this revolutionary feminist film?

I think making the lead characters so ditsy is counter productive... great beyond that.

Saw it yesterday, I still need to think about a lot, but I was't as captivated as I would expected to be, although there's a lot to like and admire, her technique is quite brillant because you can tell is a product of her time but feels fresh, cynical and cool.
I think it goes a bit overlong, I'd prefered a short film or a more dynamic story that was on pair with the direction, because the film sets up the tone and what's going to do from the initial credits ( the machine repetition and war footage ) and the routine of these girls is based on that and after a while it's a bit monotonous to be honest, as if some of the sequences were stretched to unnecessary times.
I liked it more when it was focused on one element and a cohesive technique because it feels improvised, the cabaret sequence was brillant and represents better what I liked about the director makig a film that while you see the influences from where they come, creates something unique and timeless, the fact that she blended silent and sonorous film trademarks in this particular sequence was jaw-dropping , when the girls cut themselves into pieces is another one I loved. But the many dates was tiring, as well the final orgy, there was something off with the ecstacy, but the final moments are so satisfying, not because of the destiny the two girls face but for what is saying and basically because their decision to do good comes from an unknown place, or at least, it was for me.
