Farm Girls
“For wherever the sun rises and sets, in the city’s turmoil or under the open sky on the farm, life is much the same; sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet.”
Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans
THIS APRIL: We’re heading to the countryside for stories of love, loss, and agriculture. The Paradise Presents … FARM GIRLS. From the Wife and The Woman From the City in Murnau’s seminal masterwork SUNRISE (1927), to Lily Gladstone’s lonely rancher in Kelly Reichardt’s delicate anthology CERTAIN WOMEN (2016). Join us for six lyrical films about the farm and the women who live and grow there.
