The Vanity Tables of Douglas Sirk

Name: The Vanity Tables of Douglas Sirk
Genre: Documentary
Released: 30 Apr 2015
Rating: 5.60

A video essay exploring the frequency and meaning of that particular prop in a wide variety of Sirk movies. Is it a device that traps and keeps women in an artificial world with a limited point of view? Or is it a gateway to the past and the future, and a distorted but nevertheless real vision of the roles that woman are forced to play in society? It's an exploration of the texts and subtexts of commercial films and the subterranean and complicated ways that they affect us and can be read.
