Criterion Reflections – Episode 81 – Three Feminist Films of 1971

Criterion Reflections is David Blakeslee’s ongoing project to watch all of the films included in the Criterion Collection in chronological order of their original release. Each episode of this third season of the podcast features conversations with a variety of guests offering insights on movies that originally premiered in 1971 and were destined to eventually bear the Criterion imprint. In this episode, David is joined by Stephanie Conti and Savanna Lanausse from the Purple Noon podcast to discuss Growing Up Female, Janie’s Janie and Joyce at 34, all available on the Criterion Channel as part of “Tell Me: Women Filmmakers, Women’s Stories”, a new collection of 24 films.
