"Provocative...This terrific
little film explores women, politics, femininsm and fashion."
So How Far Can You Go if
You're "Running
in High Heels"?
Maryann
Breschard's provocative documentary tackles a meaty and debatable
subject: women's power. Breschard
skillfully lays out fact after fact surrounding women in
politics and short-circuits all the cliches and rhetoric, leaving one
impossible question: If women are the majority of the
population in
the United States, why don't they simply vote themselves into power?
Breschard focuses her discussion around the quest of a young woman as
she vies for public office in New York. By showing the
both the humorous disconnect of the candidate to the public and the
public to the candidate, it is easy to see how the attainment of power
is lost to women in the weeds of vanity, sex and marriage.
The film really shines during the interviews which include experts from
both the left and right of the political spectrum During the
last half of the film, they are edited to great effect causing the film
to pick up speed and intensity as it goes along. Breschard's
light touch makes Running in High Heels both enlightening and
entertaining -- even to the men in the audience.
