Inflected with a feminist sensibility, The Blazing World is an essay film composed of a variety of visual and sonic stolen materials. Through an associative logic, The Blazing World enacts a meditation on shoplifting, depression, gender, Winona Ryder, and the filmmaker`s own experiences with stealing and mental health. Stealing by women becomes a form of rebellion against social and economic oppression, while also failing to provide the mental and emotional solace sought after in the accumulation of goods.
