Our take

Winner of the 1996 Academy Award® for Best Foreign Language Film, Marleen Gorris’ family saga charts a matriarchal dynasty through five decades of Dutch history. Playing out on a grand canvas laced with sex and intrigue, Antonia’s Line is a vivid, big-hearted epic with feminist fire in its belly.
