Simone de Beauvoir called it ‘the best movie ever made by a woman.’ Three female friends (played by Bergman regulars) tour a production of Aristophanes’ Lysistrata while the spirit of ’68 sweeps Sweden. Life imitates art as the sex wars spill off the stage to confront the audience – and husbands back home. Can the girls win this time?
