Slovenian Director Kukla Readies 'Good Girl,' Inspired by Greek Comedy 'Lysistrata,' With Lead Actresses From 'Fantasy' on Board
Slovenian filmmaker Kukla is set to make her sophomore feature, a modern take on the Ancient Greek comedy 'Lysistrata,' with the working title 'Good Girl.' The project, which has been in the works for some time, has now been confirmed with the lead actresses from Kukla's debut feature 'Fantasy' on board. 'Fantasy' premiered at the Locarno Film Festival and played at the Thessaloniki Film Festival this week.
Kukla's 'Good Girl' is a contemporary adaptation of Aristophanes' classic comedy, in which an Athenian woman advocates for women from warring city-states to withhold their sexual favors until peace is achieved. The film's production timeline has not been officially announced, but sources close to the project suggest that filming will begin in the near future. The project is expected to be a significant cultural and artistic achievement, showcasing Kukla's unique vision and style.
The casting of the lead actresses from 'Fantasy' is a significant development, as it suggests that Kukla is committed to working with a talented and dedicated ensemble. The film's themes of female empowerment and resistance are likely to resonate with audiences worldwide, particularly in the wake of the MeToo movement and other feminist initiatives.
Kukla's background in Slovenian cinema is notable, as she is one of the few female directors working in the industry. Her experience in creating complex, thought-provoking films is likely to serve her well in tackling the challenging themes and characters of 'Good Girl.' The project's potential impact on the film industry and popular culture is significant, and fans of Kukla's work are eagerly anticipating the film's release.
As production on 'Good Girl' gets underway, fans of Kukla's work can expect to see more updates and announcements in the coming weeks and months. The film's release date has not been officially confirmed, but it is likely to be a major event in the film industry calendar.
