Is it worth it? Is it worth not doing it? Why are we sometimes draw n most powerfully to the people and things that hurt us? Why can obsession feel like love\, control like intimacy\, and emotional chaos more “real ” than stability? And when something is breaking us apart\, why can lett ing go feel even more unbearable than staying? Cinema has always been fasc inated by this darker contradiction in human nature\, the strange places w here love\, pain\, desire and destruction become difficult to separate. Pe rhaps we don’t simply fear pain. Perhaps sometimes we need it to convinc e ourselves that what we’re feeling is real. Join Anji\, Cannes-nominate d director and endlessly curious observer of film and the human condition\ , for a journey into some of cinema’s most unsettling explorations of em otional addiction and intimacy. Through selected scenes from Lars von Trie r’s Antichrist\, Michael Haneke’s Caché\, Andrzej Żuławski’s Poss ession and more if time allows\, we’ll explore relationships that consum e\, desire that becomes obsession\, and the uncomfortable territory where intimacy begins to reveal something darker about ourselves. These films do n’t give us easy answers—and neither will we look for them. Instead\, Anji will guide an open\, thoughtful conversation about the difficult emot ions they expose and why cinema can make them visible in ways ordinary lan guage sometimes cannot. No knowledge of these films\, filmmaking or psycho logy is necessary... just curiosity\, an open mind and a willingness to lo ok at one of the stranger contradictions of being human. Let's sit back wi th good friends in comfy chairs and watch scenes from films that continue to inspire filmmakers\, lovers and dreamers around the world.
