Titane’s Gothic, sci-fi-tinged aesthetic reinforces the idea of the human body as something unstable and ever-changing. It asks: Are we still “human” if our bodies become radically altered?

Nosferatu can be read as a feminist text, where the female protagonist becomes the driving force of the narrative, both as a subject and an object. She is not only an object of desire, but also a subject that desires.

The Substance shows us a reflection of our own anxieties: if we let our desires get out of control, we can become monsters.

Folie à Deux refers to a rare clinical syndrome or mental disorder where psychological delusions are transmitted and shared between two people.

Dheu pushes the viewer through the microcosm that is being examined and showcased, the cacophony of the ghats of Bengal, which in turn is representative of the diversity in Bengal as well as the country itself.

Purple Noon stands apart from its successors primarily for the characterisation of the protagonist – Tom Ripley, starring Alain Delon.
