some less graphic films.

Since y'all expressed distaste for my movie suggestions, I thought I'd quickly mention a couple great films by female directors.

Vagabond (Sans toit ni loi). http://www.criterion.com/films/245-vagabond
Agnés Varda's best known film, probably because it is not only her best film, but probably the best film of the late/post-Nouvelle Vague. A really dense study of a female drifter and enfant terrible. It's poetry, it's great, I swear.

other good movies by her: Cleo From 5 to 7, La Pointe Courte, The Gleaners and I.

Seriously dysfunctional domestic situations ingeniously crafted by Jane Campion. The incredible jump cuts and highly sophisticated compositions are worth it alone if the hilarity isn't.
