A sad tidbit on _The Seventh Continent_ by the director: "Haneke correctly predicted that audiences would be upset with [the money flushing] scene, and remarked that in today's society the idea of destroying money is more taboo than parents killing their child and themselves." Sadly, that disconnect has only gotten worse.
I don't recall flushing some currency down the toilet right before jumping out a window. But I didn't actually go through with my original plan to do the same thing with my bank account.
The first time I watched Holy Motors (which was back in 2018) I was genuinely offended by the scene of Denis Lavant ripping up money. In retrospect, I was more upset with that scene than the weird CGI snake sex scene early on in the film. I felt like sharing this because I think it’s similar to the message you present with Haneke’s, though I could hardly tell you what this says about me.
I thought "Horse Girl" was an excellent depiction of a mental breakdown. Especially the subtle signs at the beginning, like the horse trainers acting strange and aggressive for no reason. It felt exactly like the first faint stirrings of paranoia, where formerly kind people start seeming guarded and hostile.
I was fascinated by madness when I was 14 years old.... now I am 47... here are some films 1. Pokkuveyil ( Twilight ) by G. Aravindan...film from Kerala India,,,, a story of a mind being lost and erased set against the Emergency in India ... most of the film was shot in available light at dusk. 2. One who flew over the cuckoo's nest . Come on .. thats essential. 3. Possession by Andrej Zulawski...man! no words no words... 4. Mullholland Drive ... yes... the ending scene is madness made real... it could be drugs... but it is a state of mind. 5. Memoirs of a Justified Sinner by Wojciech Has. Based on the James Hogg novel 17th Century ? ... the inspiration for Fight Club !! what a book and what a movie... pure evil of a divided mind. Chill you to the bone. 6. Spider by Cronenberg... master of Body horror takes on the mind.. Hailed as the greatest movie depiction of Schizophrenia. 7. A Dangerous Method by Cronenberg... the story of Jung, Freud and a certain mad woman. 8. Awakenings by Penny Marshall... the true story of Oliver Sacks and catatonic patients.. .probably the last great acting of Robert de Niro... 9. Melancholia by Lars Von Trier... this is the edge of the human mind itself. 10. Brain Dead by Adam Simon... in my opinion ... a sublime B Movie of Epic proportions ... worthy of Borges himself. Bill Pullman delivers.
While the video essay is great, and I thank the authors, I too noticed it might have gone too much into the subject of nihilism and shifted away from the creative portrayal of real madness. By this standard, many existentialistic films fit the list. Now, I would add The Ninth Configuration. And since the subject of loneliness and addiction was touched, definitely The Fire Within (Le Feu follet). And possibly even In a Glass Cage... and Salo.
Really hoped he would mention it! Makes you question your own perception at every turn, one of the very few movies I watched multiple times (once in the cinema - after the last line of the film, there was dead scilence except for that one guy in the back, who loudly exclaimed: "Fuck.")
8:01 Polish person here, I would translate it more in the lines of "Apparently we couldn't do any better" Anyway spectacular video as always, I'm glad you guys decided to keep making video essays after all and treasure us with these gems
I would translate it more as “Apparently we couldn’t afford anything else.” Implying not even that we couldn’t afford anything better, but anything else. That was the only choice.
I think we can glimpse what madness may look like in our dreams, how we just accept and go along with whatever impossible situation our mind presents us with.
So happy to see someone treat Cecilia Condit's work as wonderfully creative short films as opposed to just spooky RUclips. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into your videos-- I'm always amazed at and inspired by your intuition for film!
I can think of very few times a movie left me feeling more upset and profoundly disturbed than the final sequence of "A Woman Under the Influence" did.
1:58 *SPOILERS TO THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY* I know Harriet Andersson's character was supposed to be going through a nervous breakdown, and the loud sound and vibrations came from the helicopter to the hospital his father has just called, but I like to believe that, just like Ofelia's vision of the Faun in Pan's Labyrinth were confirmed to be real by its director Guillermo del Toro, her visions of god were real
Stellar video, as always. Love that the lighthouse was called out, as that movie was a full-on descent into madness. Add that to the bold choice of going with black and white and a shorter aspect ratio making it so visually distinct, its just one of my top movies the last few years.
What you two commenters trying to suggest. Shooting in film, in black and white, using the original film aspect ratio, is indeed a bold choice. Like it or hate it, it's hardly a typical choice, for a film made in the last few decades.
Am I the only one dissatisfied by the end of _"Vertigo"?_ Madeline dies, and presumably, he's going to prison for the rest of his life. No one's going to believe him about the truth regarding the murder plot, they're simply going to think he's a madman. Also, the obvious maltreatment of Madeline by Scotty is deeply uncomfortable. I know that's deliberate, but Hitchcock is notorious for his misogyny, so it's still uncomfortable to watch.
Amazing. I always find your essays fascinating and challenging. II don't think that I could imagine an essay the name checks several of my favorite films (Vertigo, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Henry, Marat/Sade) with others I know of but haven't watched, and yet others that I'm totally unfamiliar with in a way that makes me want to revisit and explore.
That's weird. Earlier on my way home from getting milk I was thinking about Van Gogh and how his hallucinations and mania manifested in his art and then youtube suggests this.
One aspect of madness is fragmentation. Life in a big city like Los Angeles with endless shacks sprawling infinitely or RUclips with it's endless podcasters vying for your attention. We cured boredom with smartphones and in the process we became increasingly mad. It's intensifying, perhaps exposing the meaningless of existence. Not to everyone. Only to those who are ripe and then what?
as a diagnosed schizophrenic i love movies that show madness and why people would think that, its really not that hard to understand and it could happen to anyone under certain circumstances
Thank you. I am a movie lover that lives alone on disability for mental illness so I can relate a lot ,.. also your voice is very nice I have trouble listening to alot of voices but your voice is really listenable 😊
Your channel brings me back to memories of winter nights trekking to the best video store in my city to find some unknown treasure, or of the once strong culture of rep and second run theaters that once laced the city. I miss that time before ease and over-saturation of media turned everyone into ironic cynics.....your channel brings me back to a more earnest and potent relationship with art.
You can see the aesthetic of madness with a lot of adolescents today, with the relation to psychotic film characters. Vertigo was an amazing edition, while I think Natural Born killers was the overall glorification of these killers in the media, funny enough you can compare that message to the new Dahmer series.
Welcome back CC! After your finality of "the internet is death" last year - an entirely accurate assessment btw - I feared for your stability and felt as if I'd lost an anchoring presence! Glad to see you're still engaged in visual creation! I return to your Postmodernist Tarantino video again and again and again!!!
Would you say, "Shock Corridor," influenced, "Shutter Island?" I watched, "In the Mouth of Madness," yesterday. I want to re-watch all 3 Films in J. Carpenter's, "Apocalyptic Trilogy."
Excellent video, as usual👀👍 Thank you for giving life (and keeping alive) the academic tradition of film analysis. Love the world class narration, editing and writing too. With so much true madness in our headlines and real lives right now this is a 🎯 Currently I’m reading Gabor Mate’s epic book that just came out a couple of weeks ago, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture and would love to see a video from you on what we have traditionally called “mental illness.” Films that instantly come to mind for analysis is my personal favorite Such A Beautiful Day (2012) by legit auteur Dan Hertzfeldt, Jane Campion’s brilliant Sweetie (1989), One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Blue Jasmine, Silver Lining Playbook, Julian Donkey Boy, Girl Interupted, Suicide Diaries, the classics King of Hearts, Psycho, Donnie Darko, the horrific but unforgettable Come and See, and, most importantly, the documentary masterpiece that started it all by the one and only Frederick Weismann, Titicut Follies (1967)
Buñuel’s Exterminating Angel reminds me a little bit of J J Abrams Lost nobody can leave and there’s a polar bear, well only a regular bear but I see a connection there 👍
It's important to distinguish between the real experience of madness and the way it is portrayed in film. I think this video does a good job of reviewing and explaining cinematic attempts to depict madness. However the narrator's comments on madness should only be considered to be accurate in this limited sphere. They are not at all consistent with the lived experience of those of us who have been diagnosed as having mental health problems.
Haneke doesn't get enough credit for how darkly funny his films are. The "systematically" videotape destruction scene in The Seventh Continent is a perfect punchline.
Madness is defined by society so if the collective is mad no one will label it as madness. Individuals have been labelled mad by the masses only for the masses to catch up to the individual. What is madness is not always obvious.
Great art suggests enough that the normal human desires to leave alone. And complexity of the cerebral cortex is a puzzling place. (Un)fortunately, one must be occasionally mad in order to say one has known so. Polanski's 1976 "The Tenant" (Fr. Le Locataire) portrays actual psychosis perhaps better than any film I know.
Le Diable, Probablement 12:30 - 12:45 the way you phrased the narration here makes me wonder how this film was influenced by Albert Camus. Absolutely one film I will be looking into. Edit: this is an amazing video, now subscribed!
I would also add "Family Life" by Ken Loach, but I guess it's more about family dinamics that plunge into mental health and not directly about madness.
Possible in Michigan and natural born killers, specifically the directors cut, perfectly show my perception of madness. How such ideals and festering ideology can distort the world beyond recognition, but disturb where we still see parts of our realtiy
as usual. great, socially responsible, serious work. thank you for that sir. and what a great ending, what conclussion. as in great movie itself, the commentary in the end is useless. great video. dont mixed it with *content* guys, this is too serious for this washed up bracket
I'll be really interested to see how failure has been represented in the History of cinema. I think never more than nowadays men and women fears failure, rejection. That's why we exaggerate our realities through social media. Everything needs to be perfect otherwise you won't be accepted if not by the regular society by the virtual society.
Yes. Not pronounced like Maguire. That’s the way it’s pronounced in the film itself and it’s a Spanish name. Anyway, great video, great selection of films from allover the world and from different time periods. Thank you.
I get the observations but how is it enjoyable. This is all too real to me so seeing a film is just a reminder of the what already exists so it doesn’t seem impressive to me.
The comprehension of this video is impressive , using movies as an example shows how much we need to know about ourselves , madness is not a external thing but something we need explore in ourselves!
Films by Haneke are obvious contenders but I waited in vain for 'Take Shelter, the Jeff Nichols masterpiece to be mentioned as a stone cold classic of the genre and something relatable and accessible to the average cinema goer. Satantago on the other hand should only by recommended to..............
I think that, essentially, madness is the death of empathy and posturing as a sort of self-preservation. The mad person cannot maintain illusions that in some instances lend to our survival, in a world with unspoken contracts in regards to these behaviors. And the final evolution of a person is to love and succor, to grow into being more helpful than needing help. Where the mad person is unreachable in their need for rescuing, the approximate effect on a sane person could lead to more madness, to a surrendering to the temptation of returning to an innocent, dependent state.
So much depends on where the manipulations, along with the satisfactions, are coming from. Need for "rescuing"? The obvious is seldom in need of anything else than inspiration -- or courage.
While I always appreciate the effort you put into your content, your narrated scripts lack focus and evidence. You explore a lot of concepts without nailing down any concrete ideas. You draw a lot on philosophy, yet reference no philosophers or theorists. Madness has been explored a ton by psychoanalysts and post-structuralists and you could reference that in your work to great effect. What's left instead is a lot of vague philosophical meanderings that don't add up to much.

i didnt even care about the money as much as i cared that the person was sticking their hand down a toilet. sooo gross
I lightly aughed and then felt numb when I saw that, but not offended. Wonder what that says about me.

Demolition seems hacky and stupidly obvious because the writer just copied the premise of The Third Continent and left out all the art

I think that, essentially, madness is the death of empathy and posturing as a sort of self-preservation. The mad person cannot maintain illusions that in some instances lend to our survival, in a world with unspoken contracts in regards to these behaviors. And the final evolution of a person is to love and succor, to grow into being more helpful than needing help. Where the mad person is unreachable in their need for rescuing, the approximate effect on a sane person could lead to more madness, to a surrendering to the temptation of returning to an innocent, dependent state.
