Privilege(1990)
Privilege Synopsis
Privilege is an intelligently conceived, boldly anarchic, and wickedly insightful exposition on the culturally ingrained and socially divisive malaise of isms that artificially define and characterize empowerment in contemporary society: ageism, sexism, economic elitism, and racism. Yvonne Rainer conveys texture through the intercutting of archival footage, video, and film - as well as compositional layering through the film-within-a-film structure, elliptical (and self-referential) fusion of past and present, and the filmmaker's idiosyncratic penchant for superimposed typed text.
Privilege (1990) is a documentary film directed by Yvonne Rainer, released on September 26, 1990 with a runtime of 1h 43m. It stars Daniel Martin Berkey, Blaire Baron, Gabrielle Made and Novella Nelson. Viewers rate it 4.7 out of 10 across 7 ratings.
