Dissertation update
My dissertation presentation on Friday afternoon went fine, although I was slightly disappointed that not many people asked me questions or offered feedback (the department's other resident Euro horror fan and my supervisor both came up trumps, but unfortunately no-one else ventured to comment). Anyway, I'm currently working on Chapter 1 and a redraft of Chapter 2, the structure of which will be radically altered at my supervisor's suggestion, for a theme-based rather than chronological overview of Argento's gialli. It makes sense in retrospect, although at the time going through each of Argento's 1970s gialli (and
Tenebre) seemed to be the way to go. Judging by the way my outline has gone so far (and pending feedback on it from my supervisor), I'll probably also be referring to Argento's later films this time round, instead of restricting myself to his 1970-1975 (and 1982) period - which is probably a good thing, since it'll allow me to delve into the weird world of
Opera's sadomasochism and
The Stendhal Syndrome's unique approach to the rape-revenge sub-genre.
