Split Your Head - Season 3 - Episode 48 - Discussion on Pain in Cinema with Dr. Ethan Lyon & Jetta Weinstein
Description
WARNING: Contains discussions on violence, sexuality, and potentially triggering subject matter.
This episode features a discussion on films about Pain with two returning guests, Dr. Ethan Lyon and Jetta Weinstein! We cover Stephen Dwoskin's documentary on various examples of pain, "Pain Is..." (1997); Monika Treut & Elfi Mikesch's fictional tale of S&M power dynamics in "Seduction: The Cruel Woman" (1985); and Kirby Dick's documentary on Bob Flanagan, the masochistic performance artist who died from cystic fibrosis, in "Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist" (1997). All 3 of us offer wildly different takes and analysis of these challenging and provocative films. It's a compelling episode, to say the least!
