Wonder Woman

Women Make Action Film: The  superhero film directed by a woman with a heroine as the protagonist gives the genre a new feminist dimension. WONDER WOMAN is a bold blend of Amazonian saga and First World War drama. The heroic Diana (former Miss Israel and ex-soldier Gal Gadot) lives with the tribe of Amazons on the hidden island of Themyscira. That’s where Allied spy Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) lands in 1918 while trying to flee the Germans, whose secret plans for creating chemical weapons are now in his hands. The Amazon princess listens to his stories of the unbelievable insanity of the war in Europe and decides to take action. To bring peace to humanity, she uses her sword and magic lasso to fight General Ludendorff, Ares, the god of war, and chief chemist Dr. Maru. (Hans-Joachim Fetzer)
