Copyright Title This Woman is Not a Car

Production Year 1982
Director Margaret Dodd
Comments
A fascinating, almost surreal account of the 'everyday' Road Movie transporting the mother in a suburban car rally of school/service station/ballet lessons/supermarket/Scout Hall and finally home... all in time to prepare dinner!
Synopsis
Tied to the maternal functions of the suburban station wagon, she watches her husband leave every morning in a yellow sports car.

The mother's premonition of herself as superwoman/supercar leaves the audience disconcerted, whereby 'the woman' as taxi/object of desire, evolves - in her mechanical daily activities - into a car, all before our very eyes.
