with all due respect, i don’t think it’s either of our place to tell shelley duvall that she is being a victim wrong. my point in this piece is that we need to treat film as the collaborative medium that it is, which means listening to the perspectives of many artistic parties involved in any given piece of work. duvall’s perspective is that, despite her suffering, she persevered and gave an incredible performance which was born out of her pain. saying that duvall’s pride in her performance is defending kubrick does a disservice to her as a performer and a survivor.
