From Word to Image: Displacement and Meaning in "Greed."
Grindon, Leger
Journal of Film and Video, v41 n4 p32-41 Win 1989
Describes levels of displacement in Stroheim's film "Greed," including (1) the displacement of reason, pleasure, and life by the desire for gold; and (2) the displacement that points to a double movement in Stroheim's cinematic style. Argues that the film's sense of doom arises from the psychic nightmare operating through the mechanics of displacement. (MM)
