North Country |
| 2005 | |
| Charlize
Theron (Monster) plays Josey Aimes, who goes to work at a Minnesota steel mine
after splitting with her violent husband. But the job proves to be almost as harrowing as
her marriage; the male miners, resentful of women taking jobs, verbally abuse and play
humiliating pranks on the female miners. After being physically assaulted by a coworker,
Josey tries to fight against the harassment, but none of the other women will join her
case for fear that things will only get worse. North Country, directed by Niki Caro
(Whale Rider), makes the women's experience palpable for the audience without
overdoing it. But the lawsuit is only part of the movie; the gut impact of North
Country comes from the devastating effect the lawsuit has on Josey's family, friends,
and coworkers--thanks to an incredible ensemble cast that includes Sissy Spacek (In the
Bedroom), Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings), Richard Jenkins (Six Feet Under),
Woody Harrelson (The People vs. Larry Flynt), and the always powerful Frances
McDormand (Fargo, Mississippi Burning). The courtroom histrionics don't
always ring true, but the family conflict is riveting and deeply moving. Based on the book
Class Action: The Story of Lois Jenson and the Landmark Case That Changed Sexual
Harassment Laws. Charlize Theron, Elle Peterson, Thomas Curtis, and Frances McDormand |
