Mary Gaitskill is still saying the unsayable and writing about the unthinkable.
If you hadn’t read the backstory and didn’t know this was about an actual thing that had happened in an Old Colony Mennonite community, you would have no idea who these people were. They would seem to exist in a fantasy. And that was on purpose. They were meant to be a metaphor for women in society.. This occurred in a very specific cultural context: a fanatical religious community. People use the wordway too lightly. I don’t personally think we’re living in a patriarchy.
The movie begins with a scene—I think it’s a wedding. Families are together; there’s dancing, beautiful music, celebration. One of the girls is beckoned upstairs by a handsome boy, and when she goes up, he rapes her. It isn’t about good men or bad men. It’s not trying to say anything gray area–ish about what happened. It’s that in that moment, you get a sense of the culture she’s part of. You see the pleasure of it, the beauty of the dancing, the verve, the connection between people.
