can’t stop thinking about Polite Society (2023). it’s everything i needed in a film. so many unapologetically unhinged women allowed to yell and scream with joy and fight. i want this to become a cult classic. it has the perfect campy vibes, upbeat score, heaps of humour, and witty lines.

big “i support womens rights. but more importantly i support womens wrongs” vibes.

please go see this film in cinemas this week <3

and take your mum :)

a few points ...

1. 'poor things' is only "a porno" if your own patriarchal gaze inhibits and degrades her down to a sex object. bella views all experiences in her life as holding equal weight in that they are informative to her, whether good or bad, and she has an insatiable desire for knowledge. "if i know the world, i can improve it."

2. bella would fiercely resist her story being depicted in a way that censors anything as to her and any person who has the capacity to see her AS a person, sex is a part of her life, she has no shame about it, and would want it all shown honestly. you see, this film isn't told how you want it told, which is likely unfairly biased by social onuses. it's told how bella would want it told as telling a story about a woman in a way that ensnares her in the very confines she spends the entire time resisting wouldn't be very liberating, now would it?

3. the pearl clutching with the nudity is inherently sexist because you are blaming a woman- fictional and her real life counterpart, whose role and agency as a producer you insidiously deny- for a man's putrid views. you really think men (or anyone who harbors patriarchal views) viewing women as objects is going to change if they have clothing on or not? it's victim blaming.

i always am disheartened when i hear emma and yorgos, in poor things promotional content, talk about how society is a nasty place but they're hopeful the world is ready to see bella's story. unfortunately, it seems many weren't, but it was never about you, anyway. it was about removing the unjust societal conditioning that holds us- not just as women but as people- prisoner and allowing a woman to experience life on her own terms. i'd suggest asking yourself why this bothers you so much, if applicable. it would seem a little introspection could do you good.

it should be the goal of all to improve, progress, grow. perhaps the film can serve as impetus to those who desperately need to with regard to their own biases.

SUBLIME CINEMA #638 - DAISIES

Vera Chytilová was a prolific and underrated Czech director who specialized in avant-garde, sociopolitically charged comedies, which sometimes got her into trouble with government censors. ‘Daisies’ was initially banned by the Czechoslovak government due to its depictions and imagery of wasting food (of all things) and then went on to be very well received elsewhere, which always ends up the case.

CW // nudity and sexual violence.

The film follows Molly, a lesbian who secretly works as an escort to help pay the bills. We follows her throughout her workday, from the moment she wakes up to the moment we say goodnight to her. Very explicit, so this may be one to watch alone- this is definitely a late night movie!

This is a radically nonjudgmental film on sex work- it’s almost as if you could replace their job with accounting and this movie really wouldn’t be that different. I was amazed by Lizzie Borden and her ability to capture something so taboo and polarizing in such a neutral light!

Season 1, Episode 3 | DIRTY DANCING (1987)

Gabby and Amy discuss Dirty Dancing, the ultimate coming-of-age movie complete with trenchant class analysis, a convincing argument for women's reproductive freedom, a killer soundtrack, and Patrick Swayze's perfect ass (and chest, and hair and arms, etc.). What more could you want in a movie?
