The split in this case is more like a banana split or a banana cream pie and Freud is not the only one to get it in the face. If you think that’s pushing it for a scenario, the filmmaker has enlisted some establishment help, from the birth of cinema (Muybridge), to more contemporary materialists and ideologues (the Structuralists). All leaving Dora in the end to wonder: what is the point of Analysis anyway?
A film that is not afraid to take pot shots at the old boys club or to fudge the line between funny ha ha and funny strange. Special thanks for the appearance of the board and staff of October magazine at the forth annual ‘Symposium on Structuralism’, Frankfurt, 1979.
