Synopsis

In near-future New York, 10 years after the “social-democratic war of liberation,” diverse groups of women organize a feminist uprising as equality remains unfulfilled. Preserved by Anthology Film Archives with restoration funding from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association & The Film Foundation.

MUBI's take

Lizzie Borden’s incendiary work of feminist provocation and grungy, science-fiction futurism is charged with the energy of revolution. Born in Flames is both a vital time capsule of 1980s pre-gentrification New York and a disruptive, timely film that speaks so clearly to our discordant present.
