Feminism with humor, 20 October 1999
9/10
Author: radlov from Luxembourg

In general, I don't like radical feminists, because they are mostly devoid of any humor. The movie "Antonia's Line" depicts a kind of feminist utopia: a "dynasty" of strong women who come along quite well without more than a minimal interference of males in their lifes.

Nevertheless, the movie skillfully avoids every tendency towards dogmatic preaching in favor of the "good cause", and is in fact full of humor.

Even a "male chauvinist pig" like Radlov could enjoy it.
