Varn Vlog Horror Films, Free Speech, and Female Desires: A Conversation with Mary Wild
What happens when we merge the worlds of horror cinema and psychoanalysis? Join us for an enlightening conversation with Freudian cinephile and podcaster, Mary Wild, as we unravel the synergy between these two powerful forces. Delve into the realm of horror films and their connections to psychoanalytic theory.
As we explore the depths of horror cinema, we also confront the controversial subject of free speech and fandom culture within the film industry. Uncover our thoughts on the growing trend of moral censorship and the pressures creators face to follow certain guidelines. Additionally, we discuss the potential political motivations behind right-wing claims of being 'pro-free speech' and the evolving landscape of sexuality in modern culture.
Finally, join us as we dive into the intersection of film and literary theory, examining the works of iconic directors like Tarkovsky and David Lynch. Discover their unique approach to filmmaking and how they tap into the power of film to create immersive, dream-like experiences. We also touch on the unexpected success of Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey, considering the rare representation of female sexuality as the driving force of the stories, and how this has sparked analysis and discussion. Don't miss this captivating episode as we journey through the world of psychoanalyzing horror cinema with Mary Wild.
