“Basic Instinct 2' is an uneasy experience because, although it is hyper-reflexive to the point where it is hard to think of one character, one scene, one plot twist that isn't a reference or an echo, there is nothing knowing about it. No matter how absurd the film gets, it refuses to raise its eyebrows.”

English writer and critic

Mark Fisher was an English writer, music critic, political and cultural theorist, philosopher, Marxist, and teacher. He worked in the Department of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London, and first came to wider attention through his early-2000s blog posts as k-punk. He was known for writing about radical politics, music, and popular culture. His work moved between criticism and theory, combining cultural analysis with political ideas and a close interest in the media and music scenes of his time.
