Viewing Notes

Given recent political events, not the best timing in watching this. Really disturbing. I’ve never read the novella but I believe this adaptation is faithful to the core of the plot synopsis I read. I’d love to see this adapted now but injected with more feminism. As in, the women fight back against this viral femicide, even if the result in the end is the same. Elliot Gould is particularly good in this.
