The image that I chose is from the scene where Maria Tura goes to see Professor Siletsky for the second time. This scene is an example of Maria performing gender. When Maria walks into the room we can see that she is wearing a fancy dress, which is the same dress from the beginning of the movie that Maria wants to wear when she is acting in the play about a concentration camp, which is an indication that she is performing with Professor Siletsky. In this scene, it seems as though, Maria is allowing herself to be bribed into spying for the Nazis because of the promise of the finer things that the Nazis can provide, such as Caviar and Champagne. However, the audience can see that she is acting by the things that she says. Such as when she says that she is scared of Professor Siletsky and he says that she shouldn’t be. She proceeds to say, “Yes, I think you might have a boyish quality”. She is almost undermining his power over her with her words, but her tone makes it seems as though it can be taken as a compliment. The camera angles show both characters straight on which shows that Professor Siletsky is not more powerful than Maria.
