The Stepford Wives
Something is wrong with the women of Stepford.
Directed by Bryan Forbes
Produced by Fadsin Cinema Associates, Palomar Pictures International
A paranoid, cerebral thriller that weaponizes the uncanny perfection of suburban domesticity to explore the erasure of women's autonomy and identity.
Joanna Eberhart comes to the town of Stepford, Connecticut with her family, but soon discovers there lies a sinister truth in the all too perfect behavior of the female residents.
