Who would want to mess with the deadly babes in Robert Rodriguez’ “Sin City”?

Another interesting film that doesn't seem to appear anywhere else on these lists is the French film Le Petit Lieutenant, featuring Natalie Baye as the chief detective.  

Best,

  Thank you for the suggestions..  

  With groups of women I mean in crime. Let´s say a police office where the boss and half of the crew are women - 
  or a group of female thieves working together. 
  I am interested in alternatives to the standard and classic structures of women as victims (even if they are the ones committing the murder,…) or of male/female relationships,..

  And are there any suggestions for female detectives?!
  And always female directors!

  November by Hito Steyerl is a great reference! Thank you!!

      There's actually quite a bit in the mainstream: 


      for groups:  start with the TV series Orphan Black (first season on Blu-ray and DVD now, second season starts this spring); also earlier, Doll House
      also pretty good: Continuum (sci-fi) on streaming Netflix

      Of course, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, etc.

      Academic feminists have written a lot about this trend:

      Chris Holmlund, "the "deadly dolls" chapter of Impossible Bodies
      Linda Mizejewski, Hardboiled and High Heeled
      Martha McCaughey and Neal King, eds, Reel Knockouts
      Hilary Neroni  The Violent Woman

      and there's the whole rape/revenge cycle….

      that's just scratching the surface…good hunting

        Hello everyone,

        I´ve been following your discussions and conversations for some time and I´m amazed! Thanks for all the great input!

        Now I´ve got a question:
        Do you have any good suggestions for crime films/documentaries, also videos, short and experimental film, where either the detective or the thief/gangster/con artist is a woman. Especially interesting would be groups of women. 

        Thank you! 
        Barbara
