Recently watched: compellingly bizarre 1977 made-for-TV psychodrama The Strange Possession of Mrs Oliver. Tagline: “She wanted to be someone else. But when she became “Sandy”, her new friends wanted her dead.” Wikipedia’s synopsis: “Its plot follows a bored housewife who takes on an alternate persona that starts wreaking havoc on her life. Karen Black plays the title role, a dowdy, downtrodden housewife plagued by recurring nightmares of funerals, black flowers, fires and a woman called Sandy. Seeking an escape from her stifling lifestyle and dull husband, who only wishes her to have a baby, Black dons a low-cut red blouse, blonde wig, garish makeup and a new identity. She is also compelled to buy a house in a beach community where it would appear a woman who looks just like her once resided - before her tragic demise. It turns out that the woman Black pretends to be may actually exist—and may have more than a passing knowledge of the occult.”

Told in a deliberately fragmented, jarring and nightmarish style, Mrs Oliver’s themes of shifting, merging and uncertain female identities recalls Hitchcock’s Vertigo (1958) and anticipates David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive (2001) and Robert Altman’s 3 Women (1977). (I could easily imagine Lynch remaking this with his muse Laura Dern in Black’s roles). No one played “women on the verge of a nervous breakdown” quite like the reliably volatile Black, and the dual roles of Miriam / Sandy showcase her at her most alien and tormented. Sandy is associated with a disco-fied version of Frankie Avalon’s 1960 hit “Venus”. When she dances to it, we get copious cleavage and crotch shots – ah, the seventies! The men in Black’s life are portrayed by George Hamilton (as Miriam’s straightlaced husband) and Robert F Lyons (as a hunky ominous stranger whose mustache makes him look an escapee from a 1970s gay porn film). Watch for guest star appearances from two incredible veteran character actresses: Gloria LeRoy and Lucille Benson. Thanks to Sam Pancake for bringing this curio to my attention via his essential Monday Afternoon Movie podcast. The YouTube print is murky but watchable.

TRANSLATION:

- Look at me, scientist, look! I don’t remember you turning your nose up at me while I was sitting in the cage.

Owlbin is an old, cynical guy who keeps emotional distance from everyone. Generally speaking, he is not so awful of a person, but during his life he managed to do a lot of things, both good and bad. The chameleon-like creature's name is Espero and in the past he was a man's „guinea pig”, which is why he harbored a justified grudge against his tormentor for the rest of his life. Owls managed to both regret many of his past actions and pay for them. Moreover, many times - from receiving an incurable curse, ending with staying at a job with a low salary without the opportunity to quit. It's hard, but it probably never will be enough…

I see now that I was the monster.

I don’t know how to fix that. Fix the past, or assure anyone, or free them of the negativity of all that.

I know only that more self-reflection is necessary to fix me.

There is in me a very hurt, paranoid, manipulative, controlling, insecure, hateful person.

I don’t know what all underlies that. Why I’ve felt that way. I only know that feeling those things isn’t what I wanted.

So I disassociated. Disavowed.

I think alcoholism at some point became the means by which I could “safely” feel those things. I could feel them and forget them.

That seems correct, anyway. It’s difficult to be sure, I just know that the voice of those feelings would speak and write to others in my most blacked out states.

The things I didn’t want to feel I made others feel.

Hangovers were a kind of shell, protection from feeling and recognizing what I’d done.

Unable to recognize what I’d done because doing so threatened to reveal to me what I didn’t wish to feel.

But now I see how that made the world close in around me. I was more in control than I realized. I was the monster terrorizing me.

I hope this is the last time death drives me.

No more psychonautical psychodrama.

No more projection.

I’m so very sorry.

I’m so much closer now than I ever have been.

I hope I won’t fail again.

Where Interests Take You

I've been thinking about how the longer I go from spending time on social media, the more wide open my media diet is becoming.

SNIPPET: Weak Hands

From: Devil's Prize (WIP)

Summary: Gavrila sees that her father has come home before her, for once

Word Count: ~200

CW: graphic depictions of violence

☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆

Through the open door in the hallway, she saw him lying next to his bed, soiled in his own fluids. Foul. Wretched. Mouth agape, limbs sprawled across the filthy floor, shirt undone. Far too lively for a corpse. Her hand twitched at her side. Her vision blurred around the edges. Perhaps it would be his last day. Perhaps she'd wake up to find that he ceased breathing, alone and wretched and foul like he deserved, but who could tell? God? God had never spared her kind any thought, let alone words, but if he, by some miracle, chose to speak to her now, she wouldn't be able to hear him over the sound of ringing in her ears.

In a blink, Gavrila crossed the room.

She watched her hands wrap around his neck.

He did not stir.

Her palms were sticky.

Her thumbs found his cartoid artery—

—and dug in.

.

.

.

Five minutes.

Five minutes and he'd never wake again.

Five minutes and he'd become ash scattered across the forest ground.

Five minutes and he'd go on to live in broken mirrors and empty hallways and above her bed at night.

Gavrila blinked.

She was still in the hallway.

Her father was still breathing.

Her hands were still weak.

Prepare to be comprehensively freaked-out this April when the free monthly Lobotomy Room film club (our motto: Bad Movies for Bad People) presents the peculiar London-set late 1968 psychodrama Secret Ceremony! It's precisely the type of film John Waters would describe as a “failed art movie” – but that’s one of my favourite genres, and if you’re going to make a failed art movie, make it this wildly baroque, inscrutable and claustrophobic! 

Screen diva Elizabeth Taylor (costumed by Dior and coiffed by Alexandre de Paris) stars as Leonara, a blowsy middle-aged prostitute tormented by the death of her young daughter by drowning. One day profoundly disturbed poor little rich girl Cenci (post-Rosemary’s Baby Mia Farrow at her most waif-like) latches onto her, decides Leonara represents the return of her recently deceased mother and drags her back to her haunted art nouveau mansion in Holland Park. Once installed there, Leonora soon clashes with Albert (Robert Mitchum), Cenci’s sexually predatory stepfather. From there things just get progressively more twisted … (To put Secret Ceremony into context: the same year, Taylor and director Joseph Losey collaborated on the even more berserk Boom! (1968), the flop film based on a Tennessee Williams play - another movie I love!). 

So, won’t you join us to watch Secret Ceremony downstairs in the glittering surroundings of Fontaine’s bar in Dalston on Thursday 20 April 2023? Perhaps the £6 cocktail menu will help make Secret Ceremony more comprehensible!  Numbers are limited, so reserving in advance via Fontaine’s website is essential. Alternatively, phone [phone] or email [email protected] to avoid disappointment! The film starts at 8:30 pm. Doors to the basement Bamboo Lounge open at 8:00 pm. To ensure everyone is seated and cocktails are ordered on time, please arrive by 8:15 pm at the latest. Facebook event page.

Trompe L’Oeil (1975) 🍕🍕

A restoration of this unreleased French/Belgian tv production made its way into the festival circuit in 2022. Impressive cinematography but above all an absolute slow motion mindfuck.

Psychodrama Therapy

Psychodrama therapy is a structured form of a creative psychotherapy developed by Jacob Levy Moreno which allows the clients to explore their conflicts through guided role playing and other self-presentation methods.

It is an action-based approach that involves individuals enacting scenes from their lives in order to express hidden thoughts and emotions, gain insights about different situations and develop healthy patterns of behaviour. The long-term goal of the use of psychodrama therapy is to expand one’s ability to deal with challenging practical social circumstances. It enhances their power to understand situations from other’s point of view and in the process also improves their self-concept. It aids in the development of emotional well-being as well as evolving behavioural and cognitive skills.

Psychodrama therapy as an experiential therapy began mainly as a group therapy approach that addresses the concerns of the group who are experiencing difficulty with social and emotional function, interpersonal relationships or unresolved trauma. Sessions of psychodrama therapy consist of three phases:

1. The warm-up phase

The objective of this phase is to establish trust so that a sense of safety is created among the members of the group. One common technique which is used in this phase is role presentation where members introduce their respective roles which are a part of another person’s life belonging to that group. One member of this group volunteers to be the protagonist who is the main focus of the psychodrama.

2. The action phase

The protagonist in this phase enacts scenes from his or her current life whereas other members play out characters from the protagonist’s life.

The therapist here directs the session and the use of the following techniques are done:

Role reversal – The protagonist here enacts the role of a significant person of his or her life which can help the protagonist (client) increase empathy within himself. This also helps the therapist to understand the relationship dynamics.

Mirroring – In this technique the protagonist becomes the observer while someone else plays his part. This method is especially used for a scene which makes the client feel extremely negative or if he or she feels detached from the emotions displayed in that event.

Doubling – In this method, a group member adopts and acts the behaviour, emotions, thoughts and movements of the protagonist. This technique is intended to build empathy as well as the desire for the protagonist to challenge in a healthy manner regarding some aspect of the scene.

Soliloquy – The protagonist here describes their inner thoughts and feelings to an audience. The goal of this technique is to gain conscious awareness concerning their internal feelings and thoughts and in turn help the process of catharsis.

3. Sharing Phase

The last phase known as the sharing phase involves the therapist’s guidance in the process of helping the protagonist gain insights which will lead to transformation. It involves the discussion and interpretation of the acts, the emotions, communication and thinking patterns and behaviours. The primary aim is to help clients develop a meaning as well as an understanding of their own personal experiences.

A study conducted in the year 2020 on the use of psychodrama with adolescents led to significant improvements in social skills as well as life satisfaction. (Sahin et al, 2020). Another research focusing on the treatment of eating disorders found that psychodrama therapy helped integrate the subject’s cognitive, emotional and behavioural aspects of their personal experiences. The results confirmed that psychodrama therapy played an important role as a therapeutic model. (Stadler et.al,2016). Thus, it can be said that psychodrama therapy is beneficial as it helps increase competence as well as self-efficacy within an individual. It can also be applied to different fields and settings including training, teaching, management etc. However, necessary steps should be taken to make sure that there is proper trust and confidentiality within the group. It is also important to see that this method should not be too overwhelming for the clients. Overall, it can be understood that psychodrama therapy is a valuable action-based therapy that helps individuals gain better self -understanding and assists them to adjust to social and practical life in a healthy manner.
