Anmärkning: Allmän 1. Betty Talks part I (2001, 7'20) -- 2. Betty Talks part II (2001, 4') -- 3. Pressed into palm (2003, 7') -- 4. Lecture in Cambridge (2,37) 1. “Betty Talks” is a charged take-off on an infamous 1970s type, a series of improvisations comprised of three basic cinematic ingredients - a woman, a mirror, and a gun. In this particular combination, however, our heroine is stuck exploring the confines of this role, and the questions resulting may not be the usual ones.Consisting of a single shot, the tensely edited performance of Elisabetta Milani in Betty Talks is marked by the deliberate development in the lines uttered and reworked from one take to the next. As Betty repeatedly pulls a gun and plays at threatening her imagined rival, she deploys several familiar lines and initiates a host of her own. From her mouth, the infamous 'Are you talking to me?' begs such literal questions as, if obviously not her, or women like her, then who exactly is the imagined audience of mainstream cinema, and from what position are most female characters speaking? Her irony all the while suggesting that insistence on finally just occupying different types of cinematic space might be just the disruption necessary... 2. “Betty Talks, Part II” is a take-off on a long- (and still-) standing Hollywood cliche. With its absurd television aesthetic, this is a deceptively familiar scene - an actress accepting an award and giving an excitedly nervous speech, graciously acknowledging all the support she has received, emotionally recounting the range of professional possibilities she has been offered. In this case, however, her acknowledgements are ironically double-edged; with each line Betty drives a wedge deeper into a system whose unspoken rules seem universally known, albeit widely scorned. The result of her ingenuous performance are sometimes subtle and ambiguous, and place unusually critical demands for the active role of the audience. As Betty describes the different ways that actresses are shaped, rewarded and encouraged within the film industry, we see that she is inadvertently revealing some darker elements of its structure.
