Title: My favorite film of all time!
Product review: Although I'm not a fan of subtitles these days, this is a classic film that stands out as an exception. Set in the Dutch countryside, Antonia returns to her village from the city to raise her daughter. The film spans maybe 50 years and 4 generations of Antonia's lineage, both literal and figurative because, after all, it takes a village to raise a child. The film is a beautiful fable that illustrates that family is not just your given family (blood relatives), but also comprised of your chosen family--the community around you who are your friends, neighbors, teachers, and for better or worse, also, the town misfits. Each one of these individuals help shape an individual into who he/she becomes as an adult. While the film's theme is matriarchy-based, the message is universal. A feminist classic that I would give to every tween in my life--especially the girls.
