    169 SECONDS. Jaap Kooijman’s audiovisual essay “Double Nostalgia in The Queen’s Gambit” focuses on one specific montage sequence in the 2020 Netflix series, which uses Shocking Blue’s 1969 song “Venus” as soundtrack. The use of the song and its music video not only expresses the emotional state of the protagonist, but also raises questions about watching music television as a cultural practice.
