This film tells you everything you need to know about the male gaze, which has dominated and still dominates the history of cinema. Director Nina Menkes demonstrates in granular detail how the choice of gendered, objectifying shots – the camera lingering over a woman's body, for example – has helped to fuel a culture of sexual harassment and assault. Edifying!
