Nikolaj Lübecker is Professor of French and Film Studies at the university of Oxford, and joins us in conversation about his book The Feel Bad Film from 2015. We talk about the films he places in this corpus, placed in the categories of either "assault", "unease" and "transgression" and what that entails. Some of the films we discuss are Dogville, Trash Humpers and Innocence. Spoiler warnings for Dogville.
