“I always liked films which tell stories that unfold among women. Although some of these do not clearly show us a queer relationship, some allusions in them make me think that the relationship between women characters is more than just friendship. Are these possible queer relationships my readings or can they not reveal their implications because of censorship? Or are they just stories about women’s friendship? I set out to see what may happen when I approach these films from a queer perspective and add the scenes I imagine. I know that I will not reach an absolute. What is more appealing is this ambiguity.”
