I guess that the form of seduction is the closest thing to feminine nihilism, though seduction, unlike perversion, suspends the Law that constitutes the nothingness that provides the integral object of nihilistic belief. In any case, your piece makes the film sound bloody (and) hot! I see it tomorrow evening, after teaching, nice and tired, and in the perfect mood to enjoy the evident meaninglessness of this escapist fantasy.

Mass slaughter as purification, as the affirmation of a hard "kernel" of allegedly emancipatory discipline...I mean, I think, "no thanks".
