Four Women (1975)

Dance, Missing Trailer, Music, Short Film

Director: Julie Dash

Writer(s): Unknown

Starring: Linda Martina Young

Synopsis: Set to Nina Simone’s stirring ballad of the same name, Julie Dash’s dance film features Linda Martina Young as strong “Aunt Sarah,” tragic mulatto “Saffronia,” sensuous “Sweet Thing” and militant “Peaches.” Kinetic camerawork and editing, richly colored lighting, and meticulous costume, makeup and hair design work together with Young’s sensitive performance to examine longstanding Black female stereotypes from oblique, critical angles.
