the repserstion of substance abuse in les revolt or the retuned is sutel but still prevent with some key charters the most obvious being Camila and lena and the almost denpcy on Kenton subtle such as negtiy and alcohol to "fit" in to the society around them this is most apparent with the chart of camila who seeminelying use it as a Proximus to aid in her aging making sure as not to feel like she has been left behind.
when looking at this counstion under the looking glass of Stuart hall's theories of reposition this becomes increasingly more intreating as the thing itself Camila wants partake in such substance despite her bodies phyla young age as chongailly she is sengieally older and dose not wish to live in the shadow of lena being left behind and cast aside a quite unusual situatuion and yet when looking in the thing doing the reperting we see her frame as thought a girl at the age of 15 years old huffing cinngerets is a perfectly normal sight to see delight the actress singling inconet face expression and body langue we are enograned to see this image as part of the worlds norms and due to the framing and mies-en-sen prosing her on eye level with the watcher in a cold ally in a cool demin jacket we seem to interively buy into the fact that this is perfectly normal and acceptable for her to do. furthermore when looking at the world around her we feel as though her actions are completely ration that to fit in this society she need to take the leap this seen show clearly in the lake pub by the fact that everyone is willing to accepted quite easily that what appears to be a 15 year old girl is in fact a 18 year old as she states just seemingly as she is willing to partake smoking along side them.
when looking at the idea the "substance abuse" is a way to "fit" in the world for camlia we can also apply the ideas of clay sherry and the idea that gender is performative.
