12. Film and Philosophy: Akerman's La Captive
Thursday Mar 13, 2014
Thursday Mar 13, 2014
Mainly a discussion of La Captive and the question of other minds, and of what the male lead (Simon) wants from his captive (Ariane): what kind of thing wanting more from her or something different from what she gives him could possibly be. Discussion therefore about replicants, zombies, and other minds. The sheer fascination of looking in La Captive. Some discussion of Jeanne Dielman, but without the spoilers that would indicate how Jeanne turns out (to herself even) to have a mind -- an other mind.
