Wingwomen: Redefining Femininity in Action Movies

ChillJane, November 9 2023 CJ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ According to Mélanie Laurent in an interview from Variety, when Netflix invested in "Wingwomen", which she directs and stars in, they were expecting a film that was ambitious in mise-en-scène with significant action sequences while retaining the French style.

“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 per

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 cras

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).

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

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.

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 .

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 sim

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 adul
