After William Castle’s “Percepto!” or John Waters’ “Odorama,” it seems like the time has come for Swedish provocateur’s “The Gynaecological Cinema Chair” – an interactive experience created specially for this year’s Göteborg Film Festival. A concept that’s more than just an attention-grabbing gimmick, however, as the director behind 2013’s “The Reunion” was quick to point out to Variety following the screening of “The Examination”.
“Last summer I was in Poland, showing my latest film “X&Y”, and went to see an art exhibition. In one of the rooms, there was this gynaecological chair. It just stayed in my head,” she added. “When the festival called me about making an official vignette this year [showing her standing over writer Jan Guillou with her foot firmly placed on his head, as in direct response to him] I thought: Sitting in this chair puts you in a really vulnerable position.
I think it’s quite typical,” said Odell. These men, they want to be seen and say what they think, but going ahead and actually doing something is another thing altogether. Many of them are older, so to suddenly do something that women are doing didn’t seem “manly” enough. It was fine, knowing that some of them won’t sit in the chair, or will insist on keeping their clothes on. I wanted to find out what they would say about it.”Predictably, the reactions vary.
“The way I work, I slip an important question into something that’s strange, forcing people to be honest. We can’t just blame men for inequality, women play a big part in it too, but maybe we can finally accept that being strong doesn’t mean behaving “like a man”. Just think about how much they are missing when they are taught to never show any emotion.”
