The Female Gaze


The great filmmaker Nicole Holofcener cites "Girls" as a cultural turning point that is creating a shift toward female-centered projects. “When I was 25 years old, that was the TV show I wanted to make," she tells the New York Times.

The piece revolves around Jill Soloway ("United States of Tara") and her debut feature, "Afternoon Delight," in which a suburban mom brings home a 19-year-old stripper (Juno Temple) to be the family nanny. It's an example of "a wave of films that address sex frankly and unapologetically and from a female perspective."

Here's the trailer:
