  • Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power (2022)
    Review preview for Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power

    Densely packed as this film is, only so much can be squeezed into an hour and 47 minutes. Menkes succeeds, however, in delivering a pretty thorough primer.

    Based on Nina Menkes' acclaimed talk "Sex & Power: The Visual Language of Cinema", a mesmerising journey into how shot design intersects with the twin epidemics of sexual abuse/assault and employment discrimination against women.
  • Phantom Love (2007)
    Review preview for Phantom Love

    Among the welter of films I am watching in the course of the Edinburgh International Film Festival, it is the images from Phantom Love that continually haunt me.
