Footnotes Again, not much in the way of further reading this week. The first thing to link to is Rob’s article on the film. Then, here’s another (though not entirely different) take. Here’s a readable list of hidden/not-so-hidden ‘gems’. And finally, here’s another link to a good book on feminism in pop culture, which the film sort of addresses, towards the end.
