Groundhog Day, Revisited

de Khaet G.

Khaet explores the movie Groundhog Day within the framework of Friedrich Nietzsche's The Gay Science and the concept of "the burden of the eternal return." Khaet asserts that the the movie's main character Phil is able to escape the endless repetition of a singular day because, as Nietzsche suggests, one can struggle onwards past the feeling of "eternal return" through art. Khaet suggests that both the movie and the text can be read as a "survival guide" to life under coronavirus and capitalism.The zine is color printed and illustrated with movie stills.
