Brainwashed: Sex-Camera-Power
No ratings yet
Brainwashed is a 2022 American documentary film directed by Nina Menkes. The writer-director "developed her 2017 essay and PowerPoint presentation into a film, examining the biased ways in which women are represented onscreen versus men." Using clips from hundreds of movies, Menkes explores the sexual politics of cinematic shot design; she also includes interviews with women and nonbinary artists, film theorists, and scholars, who discuss "the exploitative effects of the male gaze."
