‘The film is about looking and desire; it is about the interaction of conscious and unconscious activity; it is about the processes and activities of the cinema as it engages spectators in the attractions that define it as ‘entertainment,’ as a form of mass amusement that holds us in thrall.

The film’s structure announces and maps out the interconnection between the conscious and the unconscious mind, between active voyeurism and passive, vaguely articulated, unconscious desire.’
