Kusama Jennifer's Body
How does this film frame desire, sexuality, and intimacy?
-
-
the violence of being intimate, but still being intimate???
"Big lesbian crush on you"--again questioning the contours of the boundary between homosexual/social
"lesbi-gay" "so butch"-- is it same sex eroticism for the male visual pleasure? The objectification and use of gay women for straight sex appeal
-
-
Chip and Needy/Collin and Jennifer: I need you frightened then heterosex? Chip's inability to understand Needy's noises. Sex as vulnerability, sex as violence--this connection between Needy and Jen. Flips hows we think about violence--invokes imagined violence
-
opening scene: feels like Halloween, but now with a female killer? Font: pink, curly, Rosemary's Baby
upward tilt to frame her body, also orients us to "teen space"
-
"Hell is a Teenage Girl:" life as a teenage girl is HELL; also she's a demon; she looks like hell, emphasizing women's bodies might be hell? Teen girls are hellish
depression and mental health, numbness--the ways we think of mental health and teenage girls
sandbox love is forever: Ugly Ashley, the kissing blood scene
extreme close ups of lips, not scored to anything, allows for audience identifications
My tit. No your heart. -- questions the ways we see empowerment as "through the body" and the sexy lady body
