I have seen it and it's great but I you may want to take a look at it. Marion Cotillard's character deals with tough personal issues, but I found her relationship with a male friend to be quite interesting in terms of gender roles. It doesn't overtly deal with gender/women's issues but I thought it might fit. Her character and story is one that we don't see in many Hollywood films.

I haven't seen this one, but remember reading about it and seeing previews when it came out. If you've seen it (or if anyone has), can you tell me how it relates to gender / women's issues? The way it was advertised made it look like more of a straight personal journey type drama. Best, Meghann On 7/10/2013 3:57 PM, Cristella Bond wrote: How about Rust & Bone, from last year?

(Documentaries in the spring, so for this instance I'm appealing for help in the relatively recent feature film sector only please.) So, here is my annual plea for brainstorming help on this nebulous topic. Have you seen a feature film from a country outside the U.S. that deals with gender or women's issues in the past year or so? Please note: MUST be a feature film (NO documentaries), and MUST be from 2010 or later. Thanks in advance! -- Meghann Matwichuk, M.S.
