Review of Borderline (1950) by Bruce J — 18 Dec 2009
This was probably the worst movie I have ever seen. No, really, it was. Only because it was completely heartbreakingly realistic. Only because Kiki, the protagonist reminds me too much of myself. It doesnâ??t help that she comes with her own disclaimer, something I should probably adopt.
Iâ??m a private menace, she tells the baker who is trying to win her heart wholeheartedly but she wonâ??t love him back because she doesnâ??t know how to love. She has spent her entire life distancing herself from her emotions.
Unable to cry, unable to feel, only able to feel in glimpses, in glances, in slight moments. And those moments are the darkest ones, the ones where she finds herself being fucked from behind by her â??lit professorâ?? who she jokingly refers to as her â??lit therapist.
â?? She also feels when she is being penetrated by the guy with the guitar, or when she shatters a mirror and cuts herself with a jagged piece. She feels human when there is pain; when Antoine walks out on her at a pa.
