Abstract:
Using a critical psychoanalytic framework, the article examines representations of disability in two Greek film noirs from the 1960s, namely The Secret of the Red Mantle and The Fear. While the films are in no way unambiguously progressive, they allow for an anti-ableist reading and therefore challenge stereotypical representations of disability in 1960s Greece.
