Quote:
"In Paule Baillargeon's 1977 short, Anastasie oh ma chérie, cinematic space and language take on specifically gendered characteristics while the main action comprises a role reversal. Instead of de-robing the female character (a female Pee Wee Herman), the intruding male characters 'transform' her, dress and make her up into a proper woman—'the beauty ideal.'"
