'The Door' Synopsis:
The Door, by Ava DuVernay, the fifth Miu Miu Women's Tale, is a celebration of the transformative power of feminine bonds, and a symbolic story of life change.
Adepero Oduye
The symbolic centre of The Door is the front entrance of the protagonist's home. As she opens it to greet a friend in the powerfull framed opening scenes, she is shrouded in an oblique sadness. "In the film, characters arrive at the door of a friend in need, bring something of themselves," explains director DuVernary. "Eventually, we witness our heroine ready to walk through the door on her own. The door in the film represents a pathway to who we are."

Clothing is also a symbol of renewal, each change of costume charting our heroine's emergence from a chrysails of sadness. In the final scenes, she takes off her ring, pull on long, black leather gloves, and walks, transformed by the emotive power of the clothing, through the door.
Goapele
Ava DuVernay was the first African-American woman to win the Best Director Prize at Sundance Film Frestival, for her second feature, Middle of Nowhere, in 2012. The Door stars Gabrielle Union, Alfre Woodard, Emayatzy Corinealdi, Adepero Oduye and singer-songwriter Goapele.
