On Sunday, Blanchett, DuVernay and Stewart were joined
by Patty Jenkins, Marion Cotillard, Salma Hayek, Agnes Varda and dozens of other
female actors,
directors, writers, producers and distributors to stand halfway up the red carpet, symbolizing the challenges women
face to climb the industry ladder.
Directed with zany aplomb
by female Israeli
director Tayla Lavie, this chaptered saga of woman in uniform vs. ennui is characterized
by a soaring sense of voice and sees stars Dana Ivgy and Nelly Tagar
face down the clock as they Minesweep their way through their deafeningly dull military assignment — paperwork.
