Anatomy of Failure
Filmmaker Minou Norouzi goes in search of five disappeared women who formed Carlos Castaneda's 'harem'. Trying to find out what hooked these women on the cultish guru figure she unveils some uncomfortable 'truths' she was unaware of, about herself. Taking the form of fragmented portraiture, the film looks into the culture of belief, touching on failures of love, power relationships and myth-making.
