Where can I watch Woman?

Woman, a thought-provoking blend of comedy and drama released in 2019, offers a sharp critique of absurd legalities surrounding violence and self-defense in contemporary society. The film follows Katya, a resilient young woman navigating her nightly commute home through a forested area after a grueling shift. Her routine is violently disrupted when she encounters an assailant in a mask, but thanks to a timely intervention from a dog, she narrowly escapes. This incident sets off a chain reaction that exposes the dark undercurrents of a society that trivializes women's safety, as police dismiss her plight due to the absence of “actual rape.”

As Katya grapples with the fallout from her harrowing experience, her life spirals into a nightmarish cycle of repeated attacks, forcing her to confront the harsh realities of gender-based violence and societal negligence. With a blend of absurd humor and poignant commentary, Woman explores themes of resilience, the absurdity of legal frameworks, and the struggle for autonomy in a world that often seems indifferent to female suffering. The film’s unique lens shines a light on the absurdity of the situation while inviting viewers to reflect on the serious implications of Katya's encounters. It's a harrowing yet darkly comic journey that compels audiences to consider the lengths to which one must go to reclaim their sense of security and agency.
