You might look at Mireille Dansereau's "La Vie revee" (sorry could not
get the accents working properly on my computer). This film was made in
Canada in 1972 and is a very interesting look at the lives of two women,
their relationship to men, work, advertising and most importantly
eachother. There is a brief interview with Dansereau in The Canadian
Film Reader, ed. Seth Feldman and Joyce Nelson (1977) and a few comments
on the film and the director in "Take Two: A Tribute to Film in Canada"
ed. Seth Feldman (1984). There may be more in other works on Canadian
cinema. Although this film seems a bit dated now, it is really a very
interesting piece of work.
