'American Fiction' Speaks Truth
American Fiction is a genuinely entertaining film with a few lessons.
Oedipus
“Psychoanalysis is, in it’s entire spectre, an eminently POP discipline: anybody can relate to it without having studied and/or understood it. Cinema, an art for the age of self-reflection par excellence, is nothing less.” Fernando de Felipe departs from this premise to tell us the story of Duffy, a seven year-old boy who decides to settle accounts with his parents one dinner time. A black comedy retelling of the myth that became a complex without becoming complicated.
