The Horrors of History in Netflix’s Curon
摘要
This analysis of the Netflix original horror drama, Curon (2020) focuses on key moments from season one to illustrate how the trope of doubling aligns with the classic horror genre, The Shining (Stanley Kubrick, 1980), and evokes the history of Italy’s border zones in South Tyrol. In my exploration of the lasting impact of South Tyrol’s unresolved, haunting legaces, the essay situates Curon, which has been viewed in 190 countries worldwide, within a broader critical consideration of releases that revisit the marginalised, violent spaces of the twentieth century.
