Barbie (2023 Film)

2023's big box office hit, 'Barbie The Movie', is finally coming to DVD.

With her Barbie film, director Greta Gerwig has made a real hit film for - and of - the times. The film follows 'stereotypical Barbie' (Margot Robbie) living the seemingly perfect life in the perfect world, surrounded by perfect Barbies and perfect Kens. Here, Barbies rule with the Kens as their admirers. However, the perfect picture is shattered when our Barbie has an existential crisis. Together with Beach-Ken (Ryan Gosling), she has to go out into the real world to sort things out. But the real world is definitely not the feminist glossy picture she knows, and soon the power structures change with disastrous consequences for Barbie World.

The Barbie Movie has been a resounding success, making the whole world laugh (not least at Ryan Gosling as Ken and Kate McKinnon as 'crazy Barbie') and discus gender roles and power dynamics. The film has become the highest-grossing film by a female director ever.
