Before her Academy Award-winning "epic matriarchal fairy tale" ANTONIA'S LINE, Marleen Gorris explored the dark depths of female exploitation in her first three films. In A QUESTION OF SILENCE, a female psychiatrist is tasked with determining the mental competence of three women who were strangers to one another until they collectively murdered a male boutique owner without any apparent motivation. BROKEN MIRRORS explores the day-to-day life of women in a Dutch brothel while a serial killer stalks, abducts, and tortures women throughout the city. In THE LAST ISLAND, five men and two women are stranded on a tropical island after a plane crash. When hope for a rescue fades, they ponder whether they are the last people on Earth and who (rather than if) the lone female of child-bearing age should chose one of them to repopulate the planet.
