The Bad Breast or The Strange Case of Theda Lange – 25 min. by Bruce LaBruce – “The Bad Breast or The Strange Case of Theda Lange … was inspired by the life and theoretical writings of Melanie Klein, one of the psychoanalytic thinkers who interpreted Freud’s work after his death (the other main figure was Freud’s daughter, Anna Freud, who was Klein’s arch-rival). The Bad Breast starred the two co-stars of my movie Otto or Up with Dead People, Susanne Sachsse, as a neurotic, nymphomaniacal stage actress who is sexually fixated on her own son, and Katharina Klewinghaus, who plays her repressed Kleinian psychoanalyst. The piece also featured Vaginal Davis and Nando Messias, among other awesome performance artists. …I used video footage shot with the Digital Harinezumi camera, a tiny Japanese toy camera that makes footage that looks like Super 8mm. My assistant, Alejandro Duran, shot and edited the footage and I directed it.” ~ Bruce LaBruce interviewed in Dazed Digital
