Psychosexual Cinema Club

Join Geoff Klock for a look at absurdly famous movies where fantasy, dreams, sexuality, identity and performance bleed in eerie ways. This week's film is "Psycho" from 1960: Hitchcock is the real slasher, cutting open narrative and audience.

Geoff Klock in Crown Heights

Tue, Feb 4 at 7:30 p.m. | 2 hours | BYOB (no red wine).
Paths: Revisiting the same theme with a professor on a recurring basis. But each session comes at the idea from a new angle and stands alone.

I like movies that are audacious, stylish, intense, artificial, influential, and uncanny, and I believe that movies are a form of thinking, a type of philosophy. Join me for a look at absurdly famous movies where fantasy, dreams, sexuality, identity and performance bleed in eerie ways as we look at movies by Stanley Kubrick, Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Orson Welles, David Lynch, Ingmar Bergman, Fellini, Dario Argento, Andrei Tarkovsky and others including various Film Noir. We will take two, 2-hour sessions per film and if you don’t know the film at all come anyway — trust me when I say you can walk in ice cold and follow everything. *This week's film is "Psycho" from 1960: Hitchcock is the real slasher, cutting open narrative and audience.* This Olio meets on Feb 4th and Feb 11th

What is Think Olio?

Think Olio is here to put the liberation back into the liberal arts.

Classically, the liberal arts, were the education considered essential for a free person to take an active part in civic life. To counter a humanities that has been institutionalized and dehumanized we infuse critical thinking, openness, playfulness, and compassion into our learning experience.
