Re: [Frameworks] women and crime

Programming x Thu, 23 Jan 2014 17:12:53 -0800

lady thieves: Set It Off, How to Beat the High Cost of Living, Pink Panthers (Doc.), Bonnie and Clyde, Catwoman (in a variety of places)...

lady gangs: Switchblade Sisters, Savage Streets, the Lizzies in the Warriors...

true-crime lady murderers and accomplices in film: The 2 Aileen Wuornos docs by Nick Broomfield, Monster, Karla (a pretty terrible take on Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka), Badlands, The Honeymoon Killers, To Die For, The Bling Ring (there is a Lifetime version as well as the S. Coppola) and while we're on the Lifetime tip, there are tons like Blue Eyed Butcher (about Susan Smith), The Two Mr. Kissels, A Murder in New Hampshire, A Murder in the Hamptons, all based on real lady murderers...

lady detectives: There was a "documentary" show about Dale Hinman, a lady detective from Florida and "Dr. G" about Florida's chief medical examiner., Silence of the Lambs, Kindergarten Cop...

I bet more'll come to me later...

Thank you for the suggestions..

With groups of women I mean in crime. Let´s say a police office where the boss and half of the crew are women -

or a group of female thieves working together.

I am interested in alternatives to the standard and classic structures of women as victims (even if they are the ones committing the murder,…) or of male/female relationships,..

And are there any suggestions for female detectives?!

And always female directors!

November by Hito Steyerl is a great reference! Thank you!!

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

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!
Barbara
