women in film

[Dolores Martinez]

Hi all,
I've just been asked by BBC Radio about the representation of older (by
which they meant in their 60s and 70s) single women in Japanese film (and
was  told that a Japanese woman who had already been interviewed replied to
this with: Yes, women in their 30s and 40s do feature).   The question threw
me: lots of grandmothers came to mind and all sorts of women are represented
in television films, but single elderly women in mainstream films? And
positive reply representations of?
I need your collective encyclopedic knowledge on this one!  Lola
