Description

This is a collection of portraits of 7 women, of all different ages, backgrounds, circumstances and eras. Each one of them is facing a defining moment in her life. They are bound together by the symbol of their femininity: their breasts. We see an awkward college girl getting to grips with her womanhood; a 1960s housewife freeing herself from the restraints of propriety; the manager of a small underwear shop fighting against corporate giants; a woman modeling nude for an unexpected reason… Love, illness, sex, liberation, sensuality: Olivier Pont draws us into the lives of these women with astounding force.

I wasn't so sure about it at first.
I think the themes and ideas are strong. I love how it surrounds breasts. But I think a lot of the stories were developed around a certain concept and didn't develop to be a story that is complete on it's own. It just remains a vessel for the idea.
I would give this a 3 stars but the last heart warming one took me by surprise.
