Class Discussion on the Film Passing (2021)

This is a class discussion post on the film Passing by Rebecca Hall. Please comment below your thoughts, feedback, and questions.  I look forward to hear how you connect the film with the framework and ideas we had discussed in class.

  1. Why is Gertrude no longer in the “party scene” with Jack and Clare? Or what effect impact removing her from the film?
  2. Do you think Brian is cheating on Irene in the film?
  3. Did Irene push Clare out the window? Why? Is it different from the book?
  4. What do you notice about camera angles and the gaze in the first encounter in the hotel?
