Lisistrata (2002)

"Lisistrata" reworks the ancient Greek comedy about women withholding intimacy to end a war, filtered through a screen adaptation's own bold sensibility. Maribel Verdu leads the cast with the fearless energy she's built her career on. Cristina Sola shares the screen with her, bringing her own charge to the story's battle of the sexes. The site holds just one scene from the film. It's a nude scene, and it captures the story's provocative spirit in a single explicit burst.
