The Vanity Tables of Douglas Sirk

  • 11'
  • USA
  • 2015
In this video essay, Rappaport zooms in on the dressing table and the special place it occupies in the universe of Sirk, master of the melodrama. The subtext is complex: is it a device that traps women in an artificial world with a limited point of view? Or is it a gateway to the past, and the future? See also Becoming Anita Ekberg.
