REPULSION (1965) : Fear of Men
A video on Repulsion (1965), Roman Polanski’s first English-language feature starring Catherine Deneuve. Kier-La Janisse in her book House of Psychotic Women labels Repulsion as The Godmother of the 'Neurotic Woman' horror film, so I really wanted to make some kind of video about it.

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane: Manipulative Beauty
zhlédnutí 127KPřed 6 měsíci
All The Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006/2013) starring Amber Heard encapsulates the bittersweet 2000s nostalgia that many are longing for nowadays. It’s not so much horror as a sun-kissed ode to adolescence which touches on teen cruelty and vulnerability, gender dynamics and more. It’s not an Oscar-winning movie by any means but there is definitely more to this story than meets the eye and I want to...

    As a therapist, I disagree that "the worst thing you can do for a depressed patient is be nice". I work with women struggling with addiction, trauma, and mental health issues, and oftentimes, I am the ONLY person that has been nice to them. This allows them to be vulnerable and open up -- let their walls down. Confrontation in therapy is not always appropriate, and I use it sparingly.

    Maybe Roman wished to portray Carol as childlike because that's how he sees women. No surprise there at a man posing for Polanski as the only effective adult, the saviour, the real desire of Carol. Roman is as ridiculous as we could expect

    I read this when it was first published hoping it was going to explain some things. Enlighten me with a reason for why I was the way I was. Instead it was tedious, self absorbed, eye-rollingly lame. She was overrated & wrongly celebrated. Her work is juvenile. She wasn't criticized for writing THREE memoirs before 40, it was that she wrote 3 memoirs that said NOTHING. Her voice is as annoying as grating as her writing was! 😂

    Her kid is named bean and married 2 guys named after her dad kinda seems like she got issues from him. Also kinda seems like she got issues from you as children have been part of your brand since you were young enough for it to be appropriate. And when its not continue, to punch teenage boys? They wanted it? Maybe but your an adult theyre not thats assult assult. Its clear you like children as much or more than kurt. Who wore dresses.
