Series: Essential Cinema: Somewhere Else, Always: Restless Women and the City

From Hollywood hijinks to beloved crowd-pleasing comedies to highbrow arthouse dramas, these films offer four very different ways of looking at life in the city through the eyes of women. As these modern-day explorers go on unexpected adventures, they have to trade in traditional ideals for something altogether wilder and more uncertain. From a backdrop, the urban landscape turns into a character of its own: a playground, a mirror, and a means of emancipation, forcing confrontation and, ultimately, growth.
