SUMMARY:MARNIE
DESCRIPTION:THE SOCIETY OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY\nIn Partnership with\nEVER
 YMAN\nIN THERAPY\n\nAlfred Hitchcock's technically brilliant film "Marnie"
  (1964) is a fascinating study of the theme of sexuality taken to disturbi
 ngly dark depths. Hitchcock's conspicuous directorial control hides a\nhor
 rifying backstory to its creation with his sexual harassment of its star\,
  Tippi Hedren. The drama itself is a story of sexual violence\, which is i
 nflicted physically and mentally by the lead\nmale character\, a wealthy b
 usinessman named Mark Rutland (played by Sean Connery) on Hedren's title c
 haracter . The film's story and its backstory converge\, rendering the cru
 elty that went into its production palpable in the viewing.\n\nThe story i
 tself\, of Mark's irrepressible lust for Mamie\, is also a story of her ps
 ychological troubles and Mark's increasingly obses­ sive willingness to t
 um his life upside down to help her\novercome them. Marnie is an ice queen
  blonde and a serial kleptomaniac who insinuates herself into businesses a
 s a bookkeeper\, gains access to their safes and makes off with stacks of 
 cash.\nMark catches her and manipulates her into marrying him to possess h
 er.\n\nBut there's another side to Marnie's affliction - her extreme avers
 ion to sex and to a man's touch. She is also a master of disguises\, a Tri
 ckster-like shape-shifter opaque to herself and the world\, changing her a
 ppearance every time she cracks a safe. She is also a compulsive liar\, te
 rrified of lightning\, and dissociates almost instantly at the sight of th
 e colour red. Mark probes into her mystifying psyche less to cure her than
  to indulge in his own neuroses. He is amoral\, sexist\, misogynistic\, an
 d increasingly frustrated on discovering her sexual block. Eventually this
  leads to violation of her and implicitly rape.\n\nThe psychological under
 currents of repressed memory of sexual assault and violence from when Marn
 ie was a child is best ex­ pressed by her ailing mother\, Bernice\, a pur
 itanical guilt-ridden\nformer sex worker. A narcissistic\, cold woman who 
 withholds affection from her daughter and despises her\, whilst Marnie lon
 gs for her approval and love.\n\nMarnie is a masterpiece of psychological 
 mystery that encompasses all the Director's obsessions involving trauma an
 d abuse\, with a visual storytelling replete with heat and eerie chill\, c
 olour\nand couture.\n\nThe issues raised are as relevant to today's societ
 y as they were when the film was made. These will be discussed following t
 he film in a dialogue between Rupert Tower (Jungian analyst) and\nLouise D
 ymoke (Jungian analyst)\, and chaired by Adam Reynolds (Head of Brand Part
 nerships\, Everyman). Do join us!\n\nTickets £18.40\n\nTickets will be av
 ailable to purchase from the 08/09/25 via www.everymancinema.com
