Please note that all regular film screenings at Fyrisbiografen (except for some children's films) are in their original language and subtitled in Swedish. When possible, we screen films from our repertoire with English subtitles for our international audience. Unfortunately, this is not possible with all of our films. The film selection may vary depending on the number of films offered with English subtitles.

The Girls (Flickorna)

Film pioneer Mai Zetterling’s feminist cult classic The Girls from 1968, starring Bibi Andersson, Harriet Andersson, and Gunnel Lindblom!
Before the film, Sonya Helgesson Ralevic will give a short introduction about Mai Zetterling and her filmmaking. Sonya is a film writer, film critic, and PhD candidate in Film Studies at Stockholm University. The introduction begins at 15:15, lasts approximately 15 minutes, and will be held in English.

A theater company is rehearsing Aristophanes’ play Lysistrata, in which the women of Athens rebel in order to force the men to stop waging war. The three leading female actresses—Liz, Marianne, and Gunilla—all live in humiliating relationships with their husbands.

Liz (Bibi Andersson) is married to a self-absorbed stockbroker who wants her to stay at home and run the household and handle hostess duties, yet he regularly cheats on her with younger women. Marianne (Harriet Andersson) is involved in a relationship with an older, married doctor and has a child with him. He refuses, however, to divorce his wife despite repeated promises to do so. Gunilla’s (Gunnel Lindblom) husband is kind but dull and boring, and five children are more than she can cope with.

As the women increasingly immerse themselves in their roles, their desires and dreams begin to blend with the external reality of life on tour with the play.

The Girls was met with harsh criticism at its premiere in 1968 and disappeared from the Stockholm repertoire after three and a half weeks. With its provocative content, bold and playful form, humor, and warmth, the film eventually became something of a cult classic.
 

“Ironic and comic, this film moves us by the beauty of its landscapes, its poetry and above all its subtle tenderness.”
- Simone de Beauvoir
