“For Rainer, drama and style aren’t innocent, and the very concept of a story, and the way it’s told, is political”—Richard Brody.

One of Rainer’s most narratively complex films, Privilege shifts from a documentary about women going through the process of menopause to a deadpan and delightfully anarchic autobiographical meta-film exploring the power dynamics underpinning experience, memory, and the manner in which women’s stories are told.

Privilege has been restored in 4K by the Museum of Modern Art and the Celeste Bartos Fund for Film Preservation. Zeitgeist Films in association with Kino Lorber is the sole worldwide distributor of this film.

This title is a digital-only release.

Other Rainer films include:

LIVES OF PERFORMERS (1972)
FILM ABOUT A WOMAN WHO... (1974)
KRISTINA TALKING PICTURES (1976)
JOURNEYS FROM BERLIN/1971 (1979)
