Synopsis

As they go on the road to tour the Aristophanes’ play Lysistrata, three actresses re-assess their lives, and realize that the classic Greek comedy may be a tragedy after all…

MUBI's take

Starring Bergman regulars Bibi and Harriet Andersson (no relation), Mai Zetterling’s The Girls is a tragicomedy, at once tender and ironic, about how much (or how little) women’s roles have changed. A union of Swedish icons and a key work of 60s feminist cinema, screened all too rarely.
