There's actually quite a bit in the mainstream:
for groups: start with the TV series Orphan Black (first season on Blu-ray and DVD now, second season starts this spring); also earlier, Doll House also pretty good: Continuum (sci-fi) on streaming Netflix Of course, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, etc. Academic feminists have written a lot about this trend: Chris Holmlund, "the "deadly dolls" chapter of Impossible Bodies Linda Mizejewski, Hardboiled and High Heeled Martha McCaughey and Neal King, eds, Reel Knockouts Hilary Neroni The Violent Woman and there's the whole rape/revenge cycle…. that's just scratching the surface…good hunting Chuck Kleinhans On Jan 23, 2014, at 12:37 PM, Barbara GMX wrote: Hello everyone, I´ve been following your discussions and conversations for some time and I´m amazed! Thanks for all the great input! Now I´ve got a question: Do you have any good suggestions for crime films/documentaries, also videos, short and experimental film, where either the detective or the thief/gangster/con artist is a woman. Especially interesting would be groups of women. Thank you!
