About
In May, QCCMTL presents Notes on a Scandal (2006), a film that explores a darker, more unsettling side of desire.
Judi Dench delivers a chilling performance as an isolated woman whose attachment to a colleague, Cate Blanchett, slowly slips into obsession and manipulation.
The film plays with our expectations: what first appears to be a connection becomes a power dynamic, and then a form of emotional predation.
Rarely has cinema depicted so precisely how desire can turn into control.
