    Looking at Noel Black films as an allegory of the suicide of the west

    Looking at Noel Black films as an allegory of the suicide of the west Skater Dater 1965 Pretty Poison 1968 Jennifer on my Mind 1971 Noel Black’s Skater Dater, Pretty Poison, and Jennifer on My Mind can be read as an allegory for a culture drifting toward self-destruction: young, privileged characters with freedom, comfort, and possibility who nevertheless chase danger, alienation, and nihilism as if boredom were more intolerable than ruin. The films feel like snapshots of a civilization that has everything materially but lacks conviction, meaning, or restraint. So it experiments with its own collapse for stimulation. In that sense, Black isn’t moralizing; he’s observing a Western psyche that mistakes freedom for emptiness and, unable to articulate purpose, plays recklessly at the edge of its own undoing.
