Clint Eastwood’s 1971 directorial debut is defined by female obsession. Evelyn Draper’s (Jessica Walter) innocent crush on a radio jockey, Dave (Eastwood) soon spirals into a dangerous, possessive desire for control. Play Misty for Me explores when desire turns deadly – the thin line between romantic infatuation, and psychological unravelling.

Play Misty for Me is screening as part of Women in Flux, presented in association with the National Film and Television School’s Film Studies, Programming and curation MA.
