Welcome back Chaise Lounge readers and an especially warm welcome to our newest subscribers! You all are the ones who keep this newsletter going, and for that, I thank you. This week we will turn our gaze to the big screen. As more and more women are creating, writing, and producing television and movies, the presentation of women is changing. One particular genre that fascinates me is the revenge story. We will take a look at the new series on AMC
Some really interesting insights here. I've been meaning to watch Promising Young Woman. It sounds like Kevin Can F*** Himself is also really worth the time to read. With regards to female revenge films, there certainly seems to be a lot more awareness of them although there have been quite a few over the years. I recently saw A Simple Favour for the first time which one could argue was a female driven revenge film of sorts. There's a French film from the early 2000s which is definitely one.
But I definitely think there's value in seeing these types of films become more visible though as it's an untapped opportunity.
