Brainwashed - Sex-Camera-Power

15 yrs 107 minutes 2022 6.2

In the documentary Brainwashed - Sex-Camera-Power, power structures that most people have never noticed in Hollywood films are made visible. Nina Menkes examines how the male gaze has shaped film history through how women have been portrayed in blockbusters throughout the ages. The documentary also shows, with the help of feminist film theories and interviews, how popular culture and well-used film techniques may have contributed to how our view of women has been constructed.
