Lis%C3%ADstrata


Lisstrata is a 2002 Spanish comedy film directed by Francesc Bellmunt. It is based on a comic book by the German cartoonist Ralf Knig, which in turn is loosely based on the play Lysistrata by Aristophanes.

At first, the soldiers refuse, but quickly warm up to the idea and soon everyone lives rather happily in malemale relationships. The women are not amused by this, as their plan has been foiled. However, as the soldiers begin to fall in love with enemy soldiers instead of fighting them, peace is finally established. The women end their strike not to the delight of all men and it is hinted that in the future, homosexual and heterosexual relationships will be regarded as relatively exchangeable.While the film is primarily a bawdy comedy even more so than the Greek play, it also contains interesting tidbits of historic truth, such as a relatively accurate lifesize replica of the Pallas Athene statue by Phidias in the Parthenon. ........
