Movie Night at the Thalia

“What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?”
Discussant: Clark Johnsen
Join us for a screening of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, Robert Aldrich’s 1962 psychological thriller starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford as two sisters locked in a decaying mansion and in a decades-long struggle over envy, dependency, and humiliation. A gothic study in sibling rivalry, regression, and sadomasochism, the film offers a rich clinical text for thinking about trauma, narcissistic injury, and the perverse bindings of love and hate across the lifespan.
