In the World of Horror, Sometimes Being a ‘Crazy Woman’ Has
Boasting one of Taylor’s wildest performances and complete with the kind of nerve-shredding emotional pain that the beloved actress was so talented at depicting, the film follows a clearly mentally disturbed woman arriving in Rome during a time of great violence fueled by the autocratic government. The piece then dissects her different characters, what made her work different and the importance of her role in Footprints. From here, we witness Meg's interactions with other inmates and witness various incidents and episodes all relating to madness and the exploitation of women. This sharply-designed book, including a 48-page full-colour section, is packed with 680 rare stills, posters, pressbooks and artwork throughout, that combine with family photos and artifacts to form a titillating sensory overload, with a filmography that traverses the acclaimed and the obscure in equal measure. It’s insightful, offering up some welcome context as to the folkloric origins of the story and an interesting analysis of some of the characters and some of the metaphors and symbolism featured in the movie.As of 2021, she is co-authoring (with Amy Voorhees Searles) the book ‘Unhealthy and Aberrant’: Depictions of Horror Fandom in Film and Television and co-curating (with Clint Enns) an anthology book on the films of Robert Downey, Sr. The AVC encoded 1080p high definition presentation is given a healthy bit rate on the 50GB disc and it looks very nice. How often are women told to calm down, to make themselves small, to disappear within themselves instead of directing their problems outward?

This one runs for nine minutes and covers Jane Arden's career, how Janisse came to know of the film, the film's depictions of psychiatry, her thoughts on the movie after seeing it for the first time going in blind, the stage play that Arden worked on that inspired the movie, how the movie is the only British film on record to have been directed by a woman in the seventies, the collaborative nature and energy in the movie, the use of LSD on set and what she's learned about the movie since including it in her book. Unlike her male counterpart, the female neurotic lives a shamed existence, making these films rare places where her destructive emotions get to play.
Nicole (León) manages to bed him first, only to get locked in her room at night by her hateful older sister Claude (Diana Lorys) But, it isn't long before he Claude in bed. The trimmed down feature version is likely going to be more palatable to most viewers, but it’s great to see both cuts included here. As the piece goes on, he talks about working with Franco Rossi, moving on from doing shorts to features, making the move from camera operator to cinematographer, what he tried to bring to various projects with his compositions, the importance of collaboration and the specifics of shooting Footprints. In itself an adaptation of a play that Arden wrote, titled A New Communion of Freaks, Prophets and Witches, the film follows multiple episodes of young women going through deep psychological breakdowns only to reveal sexual guilt created by the structures and treatments used to harness and control such psychosis.
House of Psychotic Women (Paperback): An Autobiographical
An avowed film locations aficionado, in 2018 Janisse organized the first Horror Express, a chartered bus tour through horror film locations in Toronto and beyond, co-hosted by Chris Alexander, [13] and followed this up in 2019 with a similar tour through Montreal horror film locations, co-hosted by Michael Gingold, [14] in conjunction with the Fantasia International Film Festival. In 2008, she founded and coordinated Gimme Some Truth: The Winnipeg Documentary Project for the Winnipeg Film Group.
House of Psychotic Women is an examination of these characters through a daringly autobiographical lens. Detail is impressive throughout and you’ll be hard pressed to find even a speck of print damage, although the film grain you’d expect to see is still here, with the image never looking artificially processed or scrubbed of its filmic qualities. Horror cinema, because it’s so extreme, does become a place where we can face all the things that give us anxiety, whatever those things are, because there’s obviously many, many different types and sub-genres that are all focused on different types of fears,” she said. She becomes increasingly obsessed with pictures and textures and, seemingly, her own physical presence and tangible persona.

Inside the keepcase for The Other Side Of The Underneath is a postcard insert for The Miskatonic Institute Of Horror Studies. In the most criminally underseen giallo of the ‘70s, Florinda Bolkan (A LIZARD IN A WOMAN’S SKIN, FLAVIA THE HERETIC) stars as a freelance translator who wakes one morning missing all memory of her past three days. Anecdotes and memories interweave with film history, criticism, trivia and confrontational imagery to create a reflective personal history and examination of female madness, both onscreen and off.Everything changes when she meets and falls in love with a psychiatrist named Rudolf Jung (Marek Barbasiewicz). That being said, I was very pleased overall to see sturdy encodes and accurate, filmic representations of the films throughout.
