CINEMA PSYCHOS

Quote:
"That the psychopathic character often finds his way into films (as well as other forms of literature) is not surprising. The ambiguous mixture of strong emotions that are aroused in "normal" persons while examining such characters make them strange and fascinating subjects."
Kubrick's Psychopaths Society and Human Nature in the Films of Stanley Kubrick, by Gordon Banks

"There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Grey
