The Rebellious Eye

Summary/Abstract: The eye fascinates artists, writers, and filmmakers for ages. Usually it appears in the violent context, is plucked out, blinded, etc. The author is deliberating on this phenomenon, but he is focusing on two films which are not a celebration of cruelty: "Film" by Samuel Beckett and Alan Schneider (1965) and "The Cage" by Sidney Peterson (1947). Both films are of similar length – twenty-something minutes – and are mute. But they have also this in common that they can be interpreted as stories about split personalities.
