Trailer

Why watch this film?

A remake of 'The War Between the Tates', from 1975, based on the book 'The Stepford Wives', a classic by Ira Levin. This new version features Nicole Kidman, Bette Midler and Glenn Close in the lead roles. 'The Stepford Wives' critiques patriarchal society by showing what a world with perfect wives - robotic ones - who do whatever their husbands want would be like. Furthermore, it's a production that doesn't limit itself to this and brings up important questions about feminism, and the LGBT cause. With a lot of humor, the movie makes a caricature of machismo and works as a cold bucket of water for those who still defend the patriarchal model.
