(US 1980)

Length: 20:00 Min.

Director: Marjorie Keller

The central theme to Daughters of Chaos is the friendship between women; the particular event described is a wedding. Therein lies its intense contradictoriness: How can female friendship be articulated in just the institution that represses women the most, marriage, within the context of patriarchy, which must suppress said friendship in the interest of its own authority? (Amy Taubin)
