Recommendation: Virgina (orginal title: Virdžina)
Woolfist recommends…
a Yugoslav film
It’s an amazing film that portrays the idiocy of a society that celebrates the birth of boys but loathes the birth of girls.
The action takes place at the end of the 19th century in a village near the Adriatic sea. One family, ‘doomed’ with all female children, decides to raise one of the girls as a boy. Towards the end, the film reveals some interesting facts about the life in this village.
