when frederico fellini said “i dont like the idea of ‘understanding’ a film” and when he said “i don’t believe that rational understanding is an essential element in the reception of any work of art” and he continued by saying “either a film has something to say to you or it hasn’t” and added “if you are moved by it you don’t need it exlpaind to you” and finished with “if not, no explanation can make you moved by it” and then closed it off entirely with a giant big black PERIODT

“A woman who explores the depths of her despair or depression isn’t typically valorized as a hero on a fearless quest to render ‘any darkness visible,’ but is instead perceived as a redundant example of female vulnerability, fragility, or self-destructiveness.”

— Maggie Nelson, The Art of Cruelty (via lesepaules)

“The Sexy Tragic Muse fetishizes women’s pain by portraying debilitating mental health disorders filtered dreamily through the male gaze. The trope glamourizes addiction and illnesses like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia – diseases that are distinctly unglamorous for those of us who live with them. The Sexy Tragic Muse is vulnerable, and her vulnerability is sexualized. Her inability to properly care for herself or make decisions on her own behalf is presented as being part of her appeal. And perhaps this is the most frustrating thing about the Sexy Tragic Muse – the fact that this character type seems to be a neat way of removing a woman’s agency without the film or book or song coming across as overtly misogynistic. She occupies the intersection of ableism and sexism, and her mental illness is portrayed in a way that makes it commendable, even necessary, for others to care for her. We feel gratitude to the men that step up and save her, because she obviously cannot save herself. We feel empathy for the men that break up with her, because we see that she is difficult and volatile. We never get to see things from her perspective; often it is implied that this would be impossible, because her perspective is too confused and fractured.”

— Anne Thériault, “Mental Illness & The Male Gaze”   (via sonnywortzik)
