Another angle that is useful for students studying this area: Gary Genosko has written an account
of Felix Guattari's minor engagement with cinema using the methodology of anti-psychiatry that
understands the cinema not as some form of potential clinical channel, but as a connective device
for people: Chapter 22, in the Acumen volume Film, Theory & Philosophy (2009) :). Guattari's top
films that display (in Genosko's words) - the 'textures of psychosis' include: Eraserhead (Lynch
1977) and Fists in the Pocket (Bellocchio 1965), also Badlands (Malick 1973)
See also Genosko's reading of the film Control (Corbijn 2007) and epilepsy in a chapter in
Genosko's 2009 book on Guattari:
