The film follows a barrister, Asta Cadell, as she travels through rural Ginborak and witnesses the tragic journey of rape victim Lizzie Curtis. This representation of society exposes the detrimental effects of a male hegemony, and the subsequent rape culture that flourishes, ef...

Totalitarianism was exposed in World War II as a system that annihilates any trace of human individuality by indoctrination; this is with the final goal of justifying any atrocity: everything is possible.

The camera pans slowly across Scottie's apartment at the beginning of the scene, finally stopping...
