![]() ![]() Luckily, the Spartans have the same problem. This unfortunate state of " blue balls" hinders them in their capacity to fight. The men soon sport gigantic erections, which as in Aristophanes' play are depicted by huge prosthetics that protrude from under the actors' clothes. ![]() ![]() The women who want to see the conflict finally ended use a trick to make their husbands comply: led by the Feminist Lisístrata ( Maribel Verdú), they barricade themselves on the Acropolis, where the Athenian treasure is kept, and refuse to have sex with their husbands until peace is restored. It is the year 411 BC and the Peloponnesian War between Sparta (among others) and Athens has been raging for some 20 years. It is based on a comic book by the German cartoonist Ralf König, which in turn is loosely based on the play Lysistrata by Aristophanes. Lisístrata is a 2002 Spanish comedy film directed by Francesc Bellmunt. ![]()
