"Something borrowed, something blue"

9 November 5 – 7 pm (note different time and venue) Foundation Life Members Room (SGS). Followed by drinks/ dinner.

This paper will consider Jane Campion's film In the Cut (2003) as a contemporary
reworking of the classic Perrault fairy tale Bluebeard. Utilising and challenging both fairy
tale motifs and the conventions of the thriller genre, In the Cut uses images of physical
dismemberment to illustrate the hidden dangers of a romantic mythology perpetuated by
fairy tale and narrative cinema alike.
