The thing is, right now the films don't need to be overtly political to be about our times. We also need films that are just human, that are about people. People need that, too.

Human content is needed again, as it was in the '70s. I think films were more human than they've been since then.

What we need is a tough new kind of feminism with no illusions. Women do not change institutions simply by assimilating into them. We need a feminism that teaches a woman to say no - not just to the date rapist or overly insistent boyfriend but, when necessary, to the military or corporate hierarchy within which she finds herself. We need a kind of feminism that aims not just to assimilate into the institutions that men have created over the centuries, but to infiltrate and subvert them.
