Repulsion, Part 1: Sex and Comedy | Roman Polanski

This is part 1 in a series of 5 or 6 video essays analyzing Roman Polanski's Repulsion (1965). In "Sex and Comedy", I introduce the idea that Roman Polanski uses dark comedy to undercut the seriousness of his own film. Ideas about comedy and mischief, interpretation and assumption will carry us through all of these essays. I hope you enjoy! Written, edited, narrated, and scored by Brian Hischier Twitter: @BRHischier
