Listen "THE FRENCH CINEMA ROLL #02: Arachnophobia and the Underclass: Social Survival in "Vermines""
Episode Synopsis
Hello and welcome to another episode of The French Cinema Roll Podcast.I'm your host Georgia, and in today's episode, we explore how Vermines (Infectedin English), a claustrophobic creature-feature set in a Parisian banlieue overrun by deadly spiders, uses the act of killing spiders as an allegorical lens for examining social decay, neglected communities, and systemic abandonment.Far from being just a survival horror film, Vermines constructs a layered metaphor where the infestation mirrors societal neglect, poverty, and marginalization—and the violence it provokes.If you like contemporary French cinema and spiders, this is a perfect movie for you !So enjoy the episode and see you on the next one !CheersG;-)THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO AN EPISODE OF THE FRENCH CINEMA ROLL PODCAST 💗If you like to :Show some love ❤️Leave a comment 💬React to an episode 👌Participate in the episodes to come 🧐FIND THE FRENCH CINEMA ROLL 🔎 on:📸 Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/gvalkana/📘 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/georgia.valkana/💼 LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgia-valkana-62076b55/🌍 Website : https://www.cinetoc.comHosted by Ausha.
