KIRAC Podcast

What Peter Vack, the director and writer of Assholes, can learn from Dostoyevski's use of 'supercharacters', how you can make the petty characters that you want to tell stories about, enormous. And Kate's experience at the garden party of Dutch publisher Mai Spijkers. Tags Assholes, Peter Vack, Crime and Punishment, Dostoyevski, Raskolnikov, Svidrigailov, Porfiry, Betsey Brown, Jack Dunphy, Dasha Nekrasova, The Scary of Sixty-First, Ryan Trecartin, Psychoanalysis, NYC, Jewish culture, intimacy, Mai Spijkers, Prometheus books

Dasha’s Scary is filled with female characters engaging in lesbian love and some sex with unimpressive male dorks. A dominant, aggressive, male entity is present however, but only in a distant, metaphysical symbolic sense: in the form of Jeffrey Epstein and the mystery that surrounds him. What is the meaning of this? Whilst talking about the film and its quality as a film, Kate and Stefan stumble upon this question and try to answer it.
