Two days from now, chances are good that someone will speak about the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/metoo-women-refuse-to-believe-other-women\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Me Too<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> movement at this year\u2019s host-less ceremony. But given the Academy\u2019s self-portrait of all things righteous, its blatant disregard for the brilliant films helmed by female directors becomes all the more baffling \u2013 the Best Director Category, like Natalie Portman put it at the Golden Globes last year, boasts of \u201call-male nominees\u201d; no female-directed film is up for Best Picture either. It\u2019s especially strange given the quality and depth of cinema women have helmed over the last 91 years of the Academy\u2019s existence and yet only five female directors have managed a nomination in the Best Director category through the years.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2018 witnessed a plethora of incredible perspectives from four female directors that were deserving of a nomination: Debra Granik\u2019s ode to father-daughter relationships in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leave No Trace<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was tender and wrenching in equal measure and came layered with a commentary on isolation in today\u2019s hyper-connected world. Marielle Heller\u2019s tragicomedy <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can You Ever Forgive Me? <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">brings to screen the real life story of Lee Israel, a broke writer who chooses to forge literary letters to pay <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/arre-checklist-fake-marriage-rent-flat\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and ends up befriending an atypical accomplice. Heller forces the audience to dig deep into the psyche of a textbook unlikeable character, producing one of those rare films shouldered by a middle-aged female protagonist, who is more preoccupied with her work than her appearance. In Netflix\u2019s underrated <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Private Life,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tamara Jenkins\u2019 deftly traces the banality of a middle-aged couple\u2019s pursuit of parenthood, that is as richly detailed as it is a harsh commentary on the business of making babies. And Lynne Ramsay, a provocateur like no other, explored the dark psychological side of a depressed murderer in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You Were Never Really Here<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The year had also seen other notably admirable films like Chloe Zhao&#8217;s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Rider<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that picked up \u201cBest Feature Film\u201d at the Gotham Independent Film Awards over heavyweights <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/roma-review-alfonso-cuaron\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roma<\/span><\/i><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Favourite<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and was awarded \u201cBest Film\u201d by the National Society of Film Critics Award; Jennifer Fox\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Tale<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that featured an unstoppable Laura Dern, and Kathryn Kusama\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Destroyer<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, all which cap off an exceptional year. In terms of subject, Granik, Ramsay and Zhao intriguingly take turns to explore the pained male psyche in their respective offerings \u2013 thereby confirming there are no boundaries, here, that need the proverbial push. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evidently, the Academy has as much a spine as it has a tasteless tongue. Even Kathryn Bigelow\u2019s solitary win for Best Director for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hurt Locker <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nine years back seems, in retrospect, a nod to the kind of war-time testosterone fuelled cinema that the Academy gladly laps up. Commenting on being shut out by the Oscars an interview with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/2019\/02\/debra-granik-marielle-heller-oscars-2019-1202044494\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indiewire<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Heller offers an infuriating revelation on the breathless lobbying mechanisms that make up an Oscar win and the public consciousness that is habituated to deem work by female directors as less worthy, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I got separated from my film, which I worked so hard on,\u201d Heller said. \u201cIf I had gone into this awards campaign going, \u2018I made this movie. I did this. I created these performances, I created this chemistry, I brought them together, I cast Richard E. Grant, I cast Melissa McCarthy. I brought them together. I did this. I found all of these things. This was what I did, this was what I did, this was what I did,\u2019 maybe I wouldn\u2019t have been separated from the story of movie in the way that I have been. But how would I have slept at night?\u201d<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Granik on the other hand, revealed the Academy&#8217;s habit of sidelining female <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/bollywood-sexual-harassment-alok-nath-nana-patekar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">directors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the same piece, claiming that she \u201cnever expected to be nominated\u201d and hence, wasn\u2019t disappointed. She also looked at the exclusion of female directors in the Best Director Race as an \u201cempirical exclusion\u201d rather than a snub. That is not, however, to say that the Academy should condescendingly distribute handouts, but only widen its palette \u2013 pull itself level with a vision for cinema that perhaps only women can offer.<\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>A director\u2019s vision \u2013 his or her language \u2013 is really the core of a film; the actors are its vocabulary, the ones who\u2019ll carry within them, the emotion of the narrative.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year, Greta Gerwig famously became the fifth woman to be recognised in the Best Director category at the Oscars. It forces the argument that when films helmed by women continue to get nominated for other categories but repeatedly snubbed for their directorial accomplishment, it\u2019s nothing but the Academy perpetuating the myth that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/metoo-women-refuse-to-believe-other-women\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">women<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> aren\u2019t deserving of receiving sole credit for an ensemble piece. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A director\u2019s vision \u2013 his or her language \u2013 is really the core of a film; the actors are its vocabulary, the ones who\u2019ll carry within them, the emotion of the narrative. Understandably, it is the most pivotal role in cinema, and therefore by definition, the most elevated designation after male actors. It\u2019s also why, the rarity of a woman as elevated as their male peers, despite credible work to show for, feels despairingly off. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In nudging the superhero spectacle <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/black-panther-movie-review-wakanda-marvel\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black Panther<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for \u201cBest Film\u201d in the Oscars race, the Academy has confessedly responded to the age, in the process winning for itself the insincere accolade of being inclusive and perceptive. And yet, its imagination, its crusade to popularise aberrant films is still catalysed by the presence \u2013 and dominance \u2013 of the male genius, in one way or the other. It is a symptom of the systemic faith men place in other men that must eventually change, which Granik claims \u201cworks like a rubber band. You stretch it, and then it snaps back, because it got uncomfortable [being] stretched\u201d.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Three months into 2019, Nisha Gantra\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Late Night<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (recently sold to Amazon for 13 million dollars), Alma Hare\u2019l\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honey Boy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and Joanna Hogg\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Souvenir <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are among the early names already earning acclaim across the festival circuit.
