Blow Up My Town

1968 13 min French
Wubly rating 6.6 IMDb rating 6.3

“It’s all over!”

Suburbs of Brussels. A young woman locks herself in the kitchen of her apartment, as she blissfully devotes herself to dismantling the household chores, frenetically humming as she goes. A burlesque pamphlet against female alienation.
