The Portrait

Das Portrait, FRG 1966, directed by May Spils, 10 min, rated: 6

From Mona Lisa to Brigitte Bardot, artistic representation and perception of women is often shaped by traditional role models. In tongue-in-cheek fashion, director May Spils unmasks these dyed-in-the-wool structures and plays a young woman who can only fail in her attempt to paint a self-portrait.

Featuring: Werner Enke, May Spils
