About The Student Nurses

Four nursing students finishing their education are faced with professional and personal challenges as they wade through the tumultuous and ever-changing political and social landscape of L.A. on 1970. A masterful blend of individual narratives and varied formal styles and genres, The Student Nurses is a masterclass in ideological filmmaking for mainstream audiences, the signature cinematic calling card for one of New Hollywood's most intriguing directorial voices. [89 min; drama; English]

"Though she was recognized at the time by some astute critics, it’s only recently that Rothman’s work has been unequivocally acknowledged for what it is: incisive, funny, and bursting with ideas, and a crucial counter to the overwhelmingly male vision of the American seventies." — The Metrograph

"The one woman filmmaker of the Seventies with a consistent and solid body of work—a body of work that expresses the possibilities of American society." — Terry Curtis Fox, Film Comment
