Ken: Feminist, Sexist, or Both

<< < (2/2)

BoyScoutKevin:
Here are some more of my reflections on how women are portrayed in Ken's films.

As before, "Feminist" (F) equals favorablely, "Sexist" (S) equals unfavorabley, and "Both" (B) equals boith favorablely and unfavorablely.

And for those of his films that I have not seen, I have based my reflections on the reviews of his films. Reviews that I had read.

Isadora = F
Lair of the White Worm = B
Lisztomania = S
Mahler = S
Prison of Honor = F
The Rainbow = F

To be continued . . .

BoyScoutKevin:
While there are any number of ways to define the terms "feminist" and "sexist," as I am interested in how women are depicted in Ken's films, here "feminist" would be defined as "women depicted in a favorable light," while "sexist" would be defined as "women depicted in an unfavorable light," and "both" would be "both favorable and unfavorable."

I must also admit, some of these films I have not seen, but base my opinions on what numerous other people have said about them.

Altered States = Feminist
The Boyfriend = Feminist
Crimes of Passion = Feminist
The Devils = Both
French Dressing = Sexist
