Demolition Man (1993) [#3 - spring 2021]
Matt and Dave psychoanalyse Lenny Huxley's brave new world of LA 2030 with the rise of uber-criminal Simon Phoenix and return of the indomitable John Spartan. We watch Hollywood burn with the LA Uprisings of the early ‘90s, interrogate a mise en scène of hygiene, and explore the fetishisation of the male body turning to Freud and his topological theory of mind. What transforms a utopia into a dystopia? Or, are they already the same thing?
