Up The Sandbox
Two men, director Irvin Kershner (eight years before The Empire Strikes Back), and screenwriter Paul Zinder, were behind this bracing feminist manifesto disguised as a screwball comedy. Barbra Streisand, playing a woman in mid-pregnancy crisis, is haunted (and sometimes entertained) by a series of bizarre fantasies that are eye-opening in more ways than one. Backed by Streisand’s own production company, the film was a critical success but a box-office flop. Regardless, this one-of-a-kind film is more relevant than ever.
