Philosophy & Film I Elle - 18th July 2017 by Hyde Park Picture House Via Flickr: Here we have a selection of photos from our discussion that followed our screening of Elle, as well as “behind the scenes” in the projection room with Mel, as we prepared for our screenings of Dunkirk.
Though critically acclaimed, Elle - described as 'rape-revenge black comedy' - has also been controversial. It questions where our sexual fantasies come from, and to what degree we should accommodate them. Dr Natasha McKeever, whose research interests lie primarily in the Philosophy of Sex and Love, will lead a discussion around these issues and others following the film. ________________________________
