The Divine Order (Switzerland, 2017)

[Edgy MD]

It's 1971, in an oppressive Swiss backwater, where a referendum to give women the right to vote has arrived shamelessly late. While most of her neighbors either mock the referendum openly or are too timid to show their support, frustrated housewife Nora finds herself thrust forward, gets a new haircut, a sweet pair of momjeans, and becomes an unlikely suffragette leader.

We saw this. Good performances. The fact it was set in a different country made it a little more mysterious but you sorta knew who'd win anyway. Not the most memorable film you'll ever see.

The poster says "Best Foreign Language Film".

The official languages of Switzerland are German, French, Italian and Romansh.

Which languages are spoken in the film?

It's mostly German.

Yeah, this was well performed and executed, but you kinda saw each scene coming and unfolding just as they did.



I wonder if it was accidental that the woman who played her mentor-ish neighbor looked so much like Betty Friedan.
