Adventure and fun on the high seas awaits these oppressed women in the classic avantgarde film from Ulrike Ottinger Adventure and fun on the high seas comes at a price for this band of stereotyped women who answer a call to join Madame X on her ship Chinese Orlando and experience a life without rules and patriarchal tyranny...[显示全部] However old roles reassert themselves and the women find themselves swapping one kind of servitude for another as Madame X demands complete devotion from her shipmates even the ones she is enamoured with
An early lowbudget film from renowned avantgarde filmmaker Ottinger who actually took all crew positions while shooting in order to bring her outlandish vision to light Madame X subverts traditional modes of narrative cinema creating a challenging and allegorical tale of female empowerment
In this extravagantly aestheticized postmodern pirate film famous lesbian filmmaker Ulrike Ottinger appropriates the male genre for feminist allegory Madame X — the cruel uncrowned ruler of the China seas — promises gold love and adventure to all women wholl leave their humdrum lives behind Gathered aboard her ship Orlando are a range of types a frumpy housewife a glamorous diva a psychologist a very German outdoorswoman a bush pilot an artist played by Yvonne Rainer and a native beauty Their utopia devolves into betrayal and selfdestruction—leading to eventual transformation—as the power games of the outside world are ritualized among the women
