“In Her Place”: The Femme Fatale’s Room

What does a femme fatale’s room look like? In classic film noir, the femme fatale never has a room of her own. She either inhabits shared marital spaces, such as in Double Indemnity (1944) or Gilda (1946), or she is an elusive, homeless figure, like in The Maltese Falcon (1941). Even in more recent films like Gone Girl (2014) or Nightmare Alley (2021), femme fatales are not granted the kind of personal, autonomous space Virginia Woolf envisioned in A Room of One’s Own. But if a femme fatale did

'Eva Doesn’t Sleep': A Tale of a Corpse Adrift

Eva Perón (1919-1952), also known as Evita, was the wife of Argentina’s president Juan Perón from 1946 to 1952. Her legendary rise from an impoverished illegitimate daughter to First Lady has been retold time and time again across the world. In 1996, when Hollywood intended to produce the film Evita, many Argentinians reacted with anger. They couldn’t accept the portrayal of Eva as a flirtatious, manipulative opportunist. In response, the Argentine government produced its own film, Eva Perón: Th

The Violin: People of Earthly Colors

In the mid-1990s, the masked insurgent Marcos (Subcomandante Marcos), who was also known as the "modern era’s equivalent to Che Guevara," undoubtedly shook Mexico and the rest of the world. In southern Mexico, Marcos rose up with thousands of indigenous Mexicans, igniting what was later known as the Zapatista Uprising in 1994. Facing repeated brutal suppression and encirclement by the Mexican government forces, they declared they would never surrender. By the early 21st century, Marcos still app

Did you know that "Cocaine Bear" is based on a true story?

"Cocaine Bear," the new film directed by Elizabeth Banks (of the "Hunger Games" franchise), sounds like one of the most absurd stories you may have ever heard, but as crazy as it is, the feature is based on a real case, which occurred in the state of Georgia, in the United States, during the 1980s, when a bear accidentally used cocaine. The film recalls the true story of a drug dealer's plane crash, when several batches of cocaine ended up spilling out in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest

5 best movies and series with Pedro Pascal

Pedro Pascal is one of the biggest names of the moment, starring in two of today's biggest series: "The Last Of Us" and “The Mandalorian”. But this great phase of his career didn't come all of a sudden. Before he became the hottest mustache in Hollywood and the most beloved solo dad in entertainment, he went through many other productions before becoming the icon he has become. And it was several very good movies and series (and some not so good) that paved the way to this point. So much so that

Do You Really Understand David Fincher? - Analyzing 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'

If we first distill the elements of 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,' you'll find sex, violence, homosexuality, rape, religion, thriller, suspense, and crime. You'll notice how familiar these elements are if you've seen more than three of Fincher's films, such as 'Se7en,' 'Fight Club,' and 'The Social Network' (of course, this film also includes Nazis and the killing of Jewish people). Among these, the style and themes of 'Se7en' are the most similar to 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,' but ap

Spellbound: Psychoanalysis as a Magic Trick

While Spellbound (1945) is one of Alfred Hitchcock's most famous films, it is also arguably one of his most disappointing. Given Hitchcock's reputation for incorporating psychoanalytic themes and elements into his work, the film fails to deliver on its promise to depict the process of psychoanalysis accurately and instead presents a thorough misunderstanding of it. In Spellbound, the amnesiac hero has this bizarre dream that the heroine, a psychoanalyst, tries to analyze for clues about the murd

Alfred Hitchcock: A Glimpse into the Mind of a Master

Not long ago, I happened to watch Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window." Although I've seen very few of his films, my previous experiences with "Vertigo," "Dr. Edwardes," and "North by Northwest" have already earned him my admiration. As is widely known, Hitchcock made cameo appearances in 35 of his films, so watching his movies becomes a delightful experience as you try to spot his brief appearances. "Rear Window" holds a special place among Hitchcock's works and is, in fact, one of his most renowne

The Skin I Live In：From Melodramatic Revenge to Surgical Horror

Like many Almodóvar’s films, The Skin I Live In orbits around the interrogation of identity and the malleability of gender categories to define a subject position beyond a clear-cut differentiation between male and female . Mostly happening within two spaces – Vera’s living quarters and the surgeon’s operating room – it allows spectators to follow Vicente/Vera’s transformation step by step under the disquieting hands of Ledgard, who applies transgeneric skin (made of humans and pigs) to Vera lay

The Flaws and Clichés of 'Locked In'

As a director's debut feature film, "Locked In" doesn't display abysmal cinematography or scene coordination. However, for a writer who penned "Before I Go to Sleep," this new creation falls short. Despite multiple twists, nested stories, and attempts to provide reasonable background information within a limited framework, these designs fail to captivate. The issue lies in an oversaturation of similar storylines, akin to the writer's previous works such as "Before I Go to Sleep," "The Girl on th

If We Dive into ‘Knock at the Cabin’

The space between "inside" and "outside" In "Knock at the Cabin," the door—serving as a metaphorical "switch" in space—rigidly separates two contrasting material spaces, constantly defining the sensations of "inside" and "outside." Safe, ordered spaces are often perceived as "inward," whereas, in relative terms, scary, unknown areas are experienced as "outward." In most parts of the film, two adults find themselves bound to chairs. With the intrusion of four strangers posing potential threats, t
