Riddles of the Sphinx - Laura Mulvey & Peter Wollen
Description
********** English **********
This film will be screened extra muros at Cinematek.
In the presence of the director Laura Mulvey.
Laura Mulvey is known for her concept of the male gaze that she developed in the 1975 essay Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema. The film Riddles of the Sphinx by Mulvey and co-director Peter Wollen explores the position of women in patriarchal society. Consisting of three parts and 13 chapters, the film draws inspiration from psychoanalysis in its deconstruction of the conventional narrative structures used in traditional media. The visually accomplished and intellectually rigorous Riddles of the Sphinx is seen as one of the most important avant-garde films to have emerged from Britain during the 1970s.
The film’s ground-breaking electronic score, by Soft Machine’s Mike Ratledge, was composed on synthesisers which were developed in collaboration with Denys Irving (the man behind the mysterious and controversial 1970s band Lucifer).

De film bestaat uit drie delen en 13 hoofdstukken en haalt inspiratie uit de psychoanalyse in zijn deconstructie van de conventionele verhaalstructuren die in traditionele media worden gebruikt. Het visueel hoogstaande en intellectueel rigoureuze Riddles of the Sphinx wordt gezien als een van de belangrijkste avant-garde films uit Groot-Brittannië in de jaren ‘70.
