Seven Women, Seven Sins

What constitutes a deadly sin today? Seven of the world's best-known women directors produce their own version of celluloid sin in this omnibus film. Helke Sander reverses GLUTTONY with her vision of Eve forcing her apples into the hands of a reluctant Adam. Bette Gordon finds GREED during a fight over a lottery ticket in the ladies' room of a luxury hotel. Strangers reply to director Maxi Cohen's ad in a newspaper to share their litanies in ANGER. Chantal Akerman battles to overcome her SLOTH in order to complete her film, while Valie Export strips bare notions of the skin trade in LUST. ENVY turns into murder in Laurence Gavron's take on vice, and Ulrike Ottinger illustrates PRIDE with a fantastical collage of allegory and images.
