Thinking Aloud About Film: La femme au couteau/ The Woman with a Knife (Timite Bassori, Ivory Coast, 1969)

November 6, 2022UncategorizedIvory Coast, Mubi, Thinking Aloud About Film, Timite Bassori, Woman With A KnifeNotesonFilm1

The first fiction feature made in the Ivory Coast. A land-mark film. But is it good? And by what criteria? And if not good, how is it nonetheless very interesting? Art cinema, post-colonialism, and psychoanalysis as imbibed through Hitchcock films, all get an airing in this podcast.

The podcast can also be listened to on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/show/2zWZ7Egdy6xPCwHPHlOOaT

Film

I'm interested in film, writing, culture, and history of thought. This blog is mostly about film but is also a means to develop, share, and engage in a conversation on any or all of these topics.
