Abstract

Film studies Feminism Lysistrata Flikorna Swedish cinema Motion pictures--Sweden Zetterling, Mai, 1925-1994 Zetterling, Mai, 1925-1994. Flikorna Aristophanes Aristophanes. Lysistrata
This essay provides an in-depth analysis of a film that has received little scholarly attention despite its status as a pioneering effort in the visualization of contemporary feminist ideas. It discusses the influence of Aristophanes' stylistics and the political ideas of the play on the film, and Zetterling's critique of the latter, particularly in the film's ending.
