For this episode we held two discussions of the film. For the first we were joined by two students, Audrey and Andi. For the second we were joined by Keenan and Sophie. We first want to thank them for their time and thoughts. This film is unique. Knives and Skin is ambitious, beautiful, and laudable for the diversity of age, sexuality, ethnicity, as well as including numerous interesting and under-represented topics facing young women. However, for us the film never formed into a cohesive narrative where all of that fascinating content could be placed. Without a border to the puzzle, we were left feeling like we were either missing pieces or had pieces from more than one puzzle to fit together. And as a result we never were able to form a full picture from this otherwise fascinating film.
