Title: Brigitte and not much else...
Product review: "Women" is one of Brigitte Bardot's last films, and its an odd one. It begins cutely if rather like a sitcom; it contains a slapstick chase scene which suggests screwball comedy; but after a while, it switches gears and becomes a rather boring, talky drama. Bardot is the whole show here, and strangely, she's not in the film all that much! Most of the time, we're off on a flashback involving the male character, a singularly unappealing pig. That he gets his just desserts courtesy of Bardot doesn't really satisfy the viewer. Its also a relic of its time period -- 1969 -- with grainy half-in-focus images and too much zoom lens usage. Another troubling aspect is the lousy soundtrack -- its really badly dubbed. Yikes -- I'd rather have it in French with subtitles! Unless you're really into Bardot -- and she's beginning to look a bit blowsy here -- you may as well skip this one. Its not terrible, it just not worth your time.
