i mostly applied it to folk horror film (midsommar and wicker man and whatnot) but since he talks a lot about Greek tragedies I also applied it to Yorgos Lathimos films (K.O. Sacred Deer, Poor Things) so its less about clowns and more about sacrificing scapegoats to restore order lol
yahhh i getchu!! i've been chipping away at a book called topology of violence by byung-chul han that discusses different purposes and forms of violence over the years of human history (from divine violence to modern day violence) that reminds me of this 🤝 ty for sharing!! his other titles look wild
