Wonderfully earthy, funny, and sexy. Antonia (Willeke van Ammelrooy), a kind of farm-girl Gertrude Stein, gathers a commune consisting primarily of women, independent souls who have sex and children when they want them -- marriage be hanged. They defy local custom and the Catholic church yet win the respect of everyone. As directed by Marleen Gorris, Antonia's Line lopes along, sometimes with sloppy sentimentality. But van Ammelrooy gives a big, openhearted performance; she deserves to be a movie star.
