B\u00f6sker\u2019s true accomplice, witness, and confessor all at once is a very particular instance: the camera she turns on herself, in moments of overwhelm, self-reproach, and everyday situations that are often quite funny. It is a film that draws its power from its direct and humorous gaze at the deep-rooted patriarchal mechanisms underlying the first years of motherhood. B\u00f6sker resists them convincingly, using the means of the artist she is: she raps \u2014 angry, precise, straight to the point \u2014 in the face of patriarchy, and of us as well.<\/p>\n

\nThe film is disarming, though not entirely peaceable: \u201cRoses are red, violets are blue, I want to smash the patriarchy with you,\u201d reads a postcard on the wall. In Motherigine<\/em>, Sophie B\u00f6sker takes us on a journey of insight that makes one thing clear: this is not something that can be accomplished as an individual undertaking.<\/p>\n
