Joyce Chopra - Themes/Preoccupations

Themes/Preoccupations

Much of Chopra's work treats the themes of sexuality and sensuality of women. These films often focus on the transitional periods in women's lives. Smooth Talk is concerned with puberty; Joyce at 34 focuses on pregnancy and The Lemon Sisters centers around new loves, lifestyles, and new career choices. Her other works - mostly documentary - like to focus on youth, "I have always been drawn to stories about vulnerable young people".

Famous quotes containing the word themes:

    In economics, we borrowed from the Bourbons; in foreign policy, we drew on themes fashioned by the nomad warriors of the Eurasian steppes. In spiritual matters, we emulated the braying intolerance of our archenemies, the Shi’ite fundamentalists.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
