Lacan theory based ideas
Obsession over something - an object (vehicle, person, object etc) - in this case a young man who is obsessed over the classic car he has been restoring since he was a teenager. The obsession with the car and the need to make the car evolve and upgrade will change his behaviour as he strives to fill the lack he has due to him never being quite happy with his work, however no matter how much he changes the car, the lack never gets filled as his desires for the car change along with the car itself.
Lacan and Mulvey Theory based ideas
A young girl is obsessed with body image and looking like the 'ideal image of perfection' so much so that she strives to change everything about the way she looks in order to be seen as what other people consider to be perfect (Lacan). Throughout the film there are shots of her body, for example, her lips, legs, breasts etc (Mulvey) in order to illustrate the changes she makes to her body. Fragmentation, clothing and settings will be considered throughout in order to explore the idea of the male gaze.
