Years out from her most recent film, director and screenwriter Sarah Polley says she felt an urgency to bring a story of rape and rebuilding to the big screen with her film ‘Women Talking,’ which premiered at TIFF22
Based on a book by Miriam Toews, "Women Talking" tells the story of women members of a cloistered Mennonite community debating how to respond to a series of systematic rapes perpetuated by men in their community. Do nothing? Stay and fight? Leave, even if it means losing the only home they have known?
The aim was to make the film's cinematography as epic as the decision the women are trying to make, said cinematographer Luc Montpellier. The film uses muted colours, he said, and tries to convey the weight and uniformity of the community's faith. The story will always be relevant, Polley said, but she thinks the public is getting better at both talking about sexual assault and listening.
