Girlfriends is a trailblazing ode to female friendship and changing feminism in 1970s New York, newly restored and now on Blu-ray.

Director Claudia Weill's remarkably authentic vision of female relationships has become a touchstone for makers of an entire subgenre of films and television shows about young women trying to make it in the big city.

The film captures the complexities and contradictions of women’s lives and relationships with wry humor and refreshing frankness, featuring a new job, a fling with a married older rabbi, and more.

With restored 4K digital transfer supervised by Weill and director of photography Fred Murphy, as well as new interviews with the director and actors, this Director-Approved Special Edition is a must-have for any film lover or feminist.
