J.O.I.'s filmography (p. 992)

quote

is drawn to a sinister Mexican ranch where Oedipally aggrieved gunslingers are ritually blinded by a mysterious veiled nun (‘Psychosis’)

Context

The Night Wears a Sombrero: again the casting is the content — Joelle under a veil, on film, before (in-world) she ever wears one on Boston streets. The figure fuses the theme's two halves of her: veiled and blinding — the men who look toward her get their eyes ritually put out, the "lethally beautiful" myth rendered as literal Western-matinee plot, in the Actaeon myth-grammar U.H.I.D. would later hand her (068).
