A remarkable work by one of France s first groundbreaking femaIe filmmakers, OLlVlA easiIy merits rediscovery today after being negIected for nearIy 70 years.
PIunging the viewer and the main character into a true Iion's den, Jacqueline Audry (1908-1977) depicts a 19th century boarding school for young girIs, one divided into two camps where all the shots, even the most underhanded, are aIlowed. That's because the two mistresses of the house, Miss Julie (Edwige Feuillère) and Miss Cara (Simone Simon) are engaged in a turf war as weII as a war of the heart. Competing for the affections of their students, they route passion, hatred and unexpected reversals of loyaIties.
OLlVIA is a truIy unique film that depicts a worId aImost without men. For 1950s France, when homosexuality was still IargeIy considered deviant, Audry has made a fundamentally feminist film. |
