The Daughter's Seduction: Feminism and Psychoanalysis

Product Information

Nor does Waters’ narrative surrender any of its intrigue, as the initially playful premise – a female pickpocket teams up with a male con artist to steal the fortune of a Japanese heiress – leads to one rug-pull after another, eventually revealing itself as a meditation on abuse, sensuality and survival as pickpocket and heiress embark on a cat-and-mouse relationship of deceit and desire. But Cronenberg’s genius was to take the story and its characters seriously – to play it fairly straight – and turn Ballard’s pulpy novel into a weird, detached but oddly profound film about the nature of thrill-seeking and the many ways human beings deal with trauma. There's pot-smoking and drinking, and a scene where she walks out of a party and she's stepping over bodies and people are throwing up in the swimming pool.

When it wasn’t confined to outlandish comedy ( The Birdcage) or quirky subplots ( Dog Day Afternoon), it was looked at via a “big-issue” lens, and generally with a heartwarming conclusion ( Philadelphia, The Color Purple). For the questionably voyeuristic child-sex genre is, thankfully, a limited business, and mostly limited to the films of Larry Clark – see also Bully (2001), Ken Park (2002) and Wassup Rockers (2005). And you always knew that a sex scene was going to be special if it began with the lines, "The gorillas beat him to death before the zookeepers could gas them all. Nor do the pair attract any bigotry when their relationship becomes the knowledge of elderly patriarchs or local villagers.And it’s not hard to see why: it’s about a killer who poses as a documentary maker, using the allure of his job to murder women with a knife hidden in his tripod (those with an eye for symbolism needn’t look far). However, when malicious elements are added into the mix, the simplistic times are naturally marred by the essence of something bad. While Clint Eastwood had embodied the morally dubious antihero of the Watergate-tainted 70s, this new era of American self-confidence needed a different kind of icon: ripped, righteous and ripe with cheap one-liners. On the other hand, it actively declines to explain our heroine’s addiction with a tragic backstory of abuse of neglect, as would be standard practice for a Hollywood-style treatment.

Queen of Halloween dresses up as a PEACOCK with 10-person entourage while her husband rolls up as an EGG. I know what my personal life is, and thank God I'm not going through the imprisonment that is Brandon's life. He was abused as a child, doesn't like to be touched, and in almost every other way possible he articulates the character template for Fifty Shades of Grey's Christian Grey. She said: "When my mum does simple things like washing my hair or washing my body, it makes me feel comforted.The film reinvented its two stars, who spent the next decade as mainstays of the top shelves, and it confirmed everyone’s suspicions that there were big bucks to be made by smuggling smut into the multiplex. Erotic but not exploitative, progressive but not moralising, pulpy but not cheap, the film trod a number of tightropes masterfully. The puppet-based action blockbuster arrived just in time, in 2004, when the movie world was still debating the issues of extreme sex in Irreversible, real sex in 9 Songs and Oscar-winning sex in Monster's Ball.
