Women Around Town noted Zaritsas: Russian Women In New York, by Elena Beloff, once an exchange student and now a New School filmmaker, follows five émigrés’ hopes and dreams in the new country, and an exotic dancer’s journey back from the pit life tossed her into – rebutting the stigmatized image of Russian girls as cold-hearted gold-diggers. According to an article in Voices from the Garage magazine, The film is named Zaritsas (The Queens) because of a Russian song about women locked in a cage of societal judgment much like the medieval Queens were trapped in their castles.
