Antonia's Line

Founded in 2002 as one of the first-ever subscription film services with its DVD-of-the-Month Film Club, Film Movement is now a North American distributor of award-winning independent and foreign films based in New York City. In 2015, Film Movement launched the reissue label Film Movement Classics featuring new restorations released theatrically as well as on home video, with an emphasis on films by auteur directors such as Eric Rohmer, Peter Greenaway and Takeshi Kitano.

In the aftermath of WWII, strong-willed Antonia returns to her small hometown where she has inherited her mother’s farm. Antonia, joined by her free-spirited artist daughter Danielle, ingratiates herself with the town’s tight-knit and eccentric community. As the years unfold, love and tragedy come to Antonia and Danielle, and the pair fosters a vibrant circle of strong, liberated women. Winner of the 1996 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
