MAJORETTES IN SPACE - DAVID FOURIER (1997)

Majorettees In Space (Des Majorettes Dans L'Espace) was written and directed by French filmmaker David Fourier, who vanished from the scene after making several successful shorts. Majorettes is a comical - and very French - lambasting of the policies of the Catholic Church - then headed by Jean-Paul II - which insisted that contraception was against God's will despite the continuing spread of AIDS. It is a short documentary film but those who do not like documentaries should give it a go as it won the BAFTA for Best Shor Film amongst many other other prizes.
