  Born in Flames (1983)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Even almost 20 years after its release, "Born In Flames" retains its sense of urgency and immediacy.
This is due both to the energy of the performances, soundtrack and direction and to the fact that most of the women's demands in the film - including equality in the workplace, safety from harrasment and sexual crimes, and equal representation in government - still have not been met.
I don't agree with many of the opinions and strategies given voice and action in the film, but I found the experience of being directly addressed by a female character on issues that are largely invisible in mainstream cinema energising and inspiring.

Born In Flames was shot on a shoestring budget and looks it, but the low-cost production quality only adds (imho) to its documentary immediacy.
BiF departs from the Lone Cowboy Hero school of action film making to show collective process and action as a natural, logical way for human beings to address injustice and face conflict.
One aspect of BiF that embarrassed me on first viewing in 1983 and is even more embarrassing today, is the “wannabe urban Black” act and other bits of identity theft manifested by the Anglo lead singer (played by Bertei) of the punk band.

 Born In Flames | The A.V. Club
The first film by would-be cult filmmaker Lizzie Borden, Born In Flames is a bizarre Trotskyite radical-feminist science-fiction allegory from 1983.
Interesting as a historical curio but nearly unwatchable as entertainment, Born In Flames is a pretentious mishmash of amateurish acting, dialogue stolen from a freshman text on Marxist feminism, bizarre montage sequences set to bad new-wave music, and simplistic leftist propaganda.
One can certainly admire Borden's ambition, but the fact of the matter is that her mammoth ambition is only matched by 1) her incompetence as a filmmaker, and 2) her inability to create characters that serve as anything other than mouthpieces for long-winded, simplistic speeches.
