Extraordinary… transformative.”  – Roger Ebert

 

New York, NY (April 12, 2016) – Having reached the age when many people are expected to retire or simply slow down, the remarkable women in I KNOW A WOMAN LIKE THAT are proof that being a senior citizen is no reason to stop living a full, energetic life. Directed by Emmy Award winner Elaine Madsen and executive produced by Oscar nominee Virginia Madsen, this wonderful film about women – famous and otherwise – who continue to explore life will be available across digital platforms and on DVD from Virgil Films on May 10, 2016.

This critically acclaimed documentary provides a portrait of women between the ages of 64 and 94 and the extraordinary lives they lead at a time when the world expects women of this generation to be reclining in rocking chairs. Director Elaine Madsen (the mother of actress Virginia Madsen and Reservoir Dogs actor Michael Madsen) sits down with more than a dozen women, including Eartha Kitt, Lauren Hutton, Gloria Steinem and Rita Moreno, to reflect on the many challenges they faced while pursuing their dreams. Many of the interviewees, including a competitive water skier in her 90s, writers, artists and businesswomen, proudly proclaim life to be better now than when they were younger.

I KNOW A WOMAN LIKE THAT was nominated for a Gold Hugo award at the Chicago International Film Festival. Roger Ebert called it “extraordinary” and “transformative.”
