MIM Movie Review

This is an archive of the former website of the Maoist Internationalist Movement, which was run by the now defunct Maoist Internationalist Party - Amerika. The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.

   Wild At Heart (1990)

   Director David Lynch's mix of violence and eroticism look critical but
   on closer examination they eroticize violence, to turn the audience
   on -- with a touch of titillating horror at itself -- at the sight
   of wimmin's sexuality being molded and dominated by violence. Wimmin
   are socialized to enjoy their subordination. What better an example
   of the twisted capitalist patriarchal construction of gender than a
   woman who, despite struggling against it, orgasms as she is raped? No
   matter how real, the bottom line is to glorify sexual power.
