The Man who envied women

Using her multi-leveled, disjointed style, Rainer explores the issues of sexuality, aging, power relations and political activism. The breakup of a marriage provides the theme for a humorous account of a self-satisfied womanizer. Jack Deller is a man who knows almost too much about women. The filmmaker reveals the oppositions that are created not only between the sexes, but between theory and action, the conscious and unconscious, intellect and emotion, and personal versus global concerns.
