The film 'Woman' by the French master photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand and the director Anastasia Mikova is a work of an enormous scale and artistic ambition. The film is part of a global project with 2000 participants from more than 50 countries, and consists of encounters with women from widely different cultures, who surrounded by the same neutral studio background tell us what it means to be a woman for precisely them. Skilled and varied editing divides the film into thematic sequences – joy, motherhood, love, sexuality, abuse, pride and grief – in a film that is both universal and highly individual.
