Female Perversions (1996)
1996114 minsColor
Susan Streitfeld, Director
Appeared at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival
First-time filmmaker Susan Streitfeld deftly takes ideas from Louise J. Kaplan's non-fiction Freudian study, Female Perversions: The Temptations of Emma Bovary, and suggests dramatically how deviant behavior may be a manifestation of societal conditioning. Tilda Swinton plays a high-powered attorney who is being considered for a position as a judge. But behind the expensive lipstick, the woman who has it all is coming apart with feelings of repression and inadequacy. Costarring Amy Madigan as a kleptomaniac with a taste for lingerie.
