Jane Schoenbrun's 'Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma' Opens Cannes Un Certain Regard
Jane Schoenbrun's third feature, 'Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma,' opened the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival. The film is a collage of references to classic horror and cinema, including 'Sunset Boulevard,' 'Halloween,' 'Scream,' and works by Lynch and Craven. Schoenbrun, following the success of 'I Saw the TV Glow' (2025), presents a world where everything—images, food, language, time, life—is commodified. The film's title and content reflect a thesis that all images have been created and every film is a remake. The review is by Pietro Bianchi and Anita Romanello for doppiozero.
