Réponse de femmes: Notre corps, notre sexe

other title: 女人的回答:我们的身体,我们的性 / Réponse de femmes: Notre corps, notre sexe
法國國家電視台第二台邀請幾個社會學家、律師、歷史學者和三個女導演各自以「什麼是一個女人?」為題拍一段影片。Varda 以「電影傳單」的方式提出一種可能的回答。她以女人的身體為思考的主軸,去質疑社會的道德標準。即使電視版的影片剪掉了一個女性私處的特寫鏡頭,播出之後,電視台還是收到很多抗議的信件。
Varda 曰:
『這裡要談的並不是女人的生存條件。而是從內部,以幾乎是肉體的方式去發現一個女人。她如何去回應社會對她的身體的要求,她們是如何被販賣和侵犯。我的象徵是一張局部身體被遮掩著,另一部份裸露著的女人的照片。因為這個「電影傳單」就是從人們對我們的要求的情緒矛盾中衍生出來的:兩種西方對立且矛盾的選擇。一方面人們告訴我們:「把自己藏起來、要懂得害羞、要掩藏在道德倫理之下、不要談妳的性、不要承認妳肉體上的慾望。妳得是一個完美的母親、家庭主婦和妻子」。另一方面,人們要求同一個女人做到另外一半:「為了賣絲襪,展示妳的大腿;為了賣香水,展示妳的肩膀;為了賣車子,展示妳的身體。」』
