About this Event
This classic psychological thriller was directed by George Cukor and stars Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotten and Angela Lansbury. Adapted from Patrick Hamilton's 1938 play Gas Light, it follows a young woman whose husband slowly manipulates her into believing that she is descending into insanity. The play and film are credited for originating the contemporary term ‘gaslighting’.
Selected by Russell Webster, the UK’s most widely-read Criminal Justice blogger. Russell will be joined for a post-screening Q+A by Manchester Metropolitan’s Dr Jasmine Hearn, whose research has highlighted the gaslighting of women by medical professionals.
