Half life 2 ptsd mod2/16/2023 ![]() ![]() Swedish director Frida Kempff makes an astonishing and bold debut with Knocking, her Sundance-premiering psychological thriller now out in the U.S. And in Evolution, her follow-up, just over a decade later and based on an original script, a young boy is the protagonist, dropped off at a futuristic hospital near the sea where operations cause boys to grow fetuses - a story that also involves amphibious nurses and a possible conspiracy of mothers. In her feature debut, 2004’s Innocence, adapted from Frank Wedekind’s novella, Mine-Haha, or On the Bodily Education of Young Girls, puberty and the performance of gender is taught and ritualized at a girl’s school where young pupils arrive in coffins. In 1994’s medium-length La Bouche de Jean-Pierre, a teenage girl, ensconced at her aunt’s following her mother’s suicide attempt, is subjected to the menacing gaze of her aunt’s abusive boyfriend. A young girl with melting ice for teeth bound to a mysterious protector, an older man who drains and refreezes those teeth each day - such a scenario, found in artist Frank Catly’s 2019 novel Earwig, provides the perfect source material for French filmmaker Lucile Hadžihalilović, whose films depict the uncanny transformations of adolescence in startling, near-surreal ways.
