Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Director Sharon von Wietersheim mostly worked in television; this theatrical oddity remains her most widely-discussed film for all the wrong reasons.

Cultural

The film captures a very specific mid-90s European anxiety about women 'having it all'—note how Rhoda's success immediately frames her as morally compromised.
