Filmes: Unholy Women
(Os dois primeiros vi algures o ano passado, mas seria injusto não serem mencionados aqui. Também é injusto que sejam títulos obscuros. O terceiro vi recentemente - há meses que não via nada, apesar de ter uma lista de coisas para ver do comprimento de uma baleia azul. Entretanto comecei também a ler de novo. Estava a ficar embrutecida...)

Censor
Prano Bailey-Bond
2021
"Film censor Enid takes pride in her meticulous work, guarding unsuspecting audiences from the deleterious effects of watching gore-filled decapitations and eye-gougings (...) Her sense of duty to protect is amplified by guilt over her inability to recall details of the long-ago disappearance of her sister (...) When Enid is assigned to review a disturbing film from the archive that echoes her hazy childhood memories, she begins to unravel how this eerie work might be tied to her past"
