Ways of Seeing Part 2

Men Dream of Women In episode two, Berger tackles the hallowed art historical theme of the female nude, using it as a springboard to analyze female subjectivity and the concept of the gaze. A montage of still and moving images of women taken from art historical sources as well as the media accompanies his opening discussion. The camera cuts from a model looking in a mirror as she prepares for a photo shoot to an early Renaissance nude lost deep in her reflection. Women constantly meet glances which act like mirrors, states Berger.
