Magnetic Resonance

Summary

In psychoanalytic theory, a dream of a fallen tooth represents fears of castration. In Magnetic Resonance, a cicada falls to its death and New Wave musician Marc Almond falls to the feet of Clint Ruin; a tooth stands in for a brain tumor and the naked legs of the filmmakers on a sheet-less mattress stand in for Almond and Ruin’s performance on stage. "Castrated" bodies become conduits of attraction.
