A History of Violence
China|2022|Fiction|14’06”|DCP|B&W, Color│Korean Premiere
In this visually striking film, men are literally spoon-fed like adult babies while women suffering from postpartum depression are tagged like cattle and committed in asylum.
The acerbic metaphor of this Christian dystopia seems to make the film abstract, yet it actually echoes the very real plight of mothers who still get stigmatized, and even unjustly detained, for their psychological condition. As if giving birth wasn't painful enough! (Sébastien Simon)
