In the Cut, 2003

Titularly alluding to the homicidal riptide that burrows within societys collective notions of intercourse; Jane Champions subtle indictment of machismo formulates into a series of schematic portrayals of violence begetting sex, and sex begetting violence in the same dystopian New York of Travis Bickle. Typifying the female organ as a proverbial open wound, this lyrical murder mystery conceptualizes its urban setting as a murky wasteland of postulant wolves; each one salivating from the blood they smell dripping from their perspective Little Red Riding Hoods. Ultimately, Susanna Moore and Jane Champions all too true grasp of an unfortunate stasis in the male view of masculine perception has resulted in their creation of a heroine whose condition of learned helplessness toward the impending savagery of her male suitors has mutated into a forlorn call to arms for a man, perhaps the only man, who wont attempt to disarticulate her.
