Although we've seen the struggle for individualism and personal power done many times before,
particularly in independent films, Real Women Have Curves never seems to lack for freshness despite it all.
Another writer - director who was himself, like Fuller, at the forefront of a
particularly important moment
in the history of American
independent film, John Sayles, used his time introducing Park Row to eloquently characterize the
film,
in one of the overall best, most informed, beautifully delivered speaker presentations I've ever seen at TCMFF, as «Citizen Kane printed on butcher paper.»
