Privilege (1990) dir. Yvonne Rainer

Privilege is an intelligentlyconceived, boldlyanarchic, and wickedlyinsightful exposition on the culturallyingrained and sociallydivisive malaise of isms that artificially define and characterize empowerment in contemporary society: ageism, sexism, economic elitism, and racism. Yvonne Rainer conveys texture through the intercutting of archival footage, video, and film, as well as compositional layering through the filmwithinafilm structure, elliptical (and selfreferential) fusion of past and present, and the filmmaker s idiosyncratic penchant for superimposed typed text.
