Black Mirror: "Beyond the Sea" (S06 E03), "Bête Noire" (S07 E02)

The long-awaited return of “cinema with a psychologist”—two episodes of a cult series united by a common theme. Everything you ever wanted to know about envy and defenses against it.

“Black Beast” tells the story of a soldier returning from war, yet trapped by his own nightmares. His enemy is no longer outside—it’s within, in the trauma and guilt that won’t let him rest.

“Across the Sea” takes us to late-’60s America, where two astronauts live in orbit while their mechanical doubles remain on Earth. The heroes are forced to witness someone else’s domestic idyll through the eyes of their counterparts.

 The session will be led by clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst, and psychology lecturer Irina Kozlova.
