“You don’t belong in this world.”

Welcome to Experience Film! A visceral, psychological perspective on modern cinema! Let me tell you how this whole thing works.

“I like to remember things my own way… Not necessarily the way they happened.”
I was halfway through my 2nd viewing of David Lynch’s Lost Highway (1997). It must have been daytime, for a narrow ray of sunlight shone through the barricaded window of my apartment living room, which now resembled Plato’s cave.

Accidents happen and they determine our fate irrevocably. Or so it would seem. Manchester By The Sea (2016) is a story of pain written from a cold and naturalistic point of view. The film sheds light on the phenomenon of grief poignantly. However, like its protagonist, the film is challenged in seeing beyond, where spiritual redemption lies forever waiting in grief’s shadow. Continue reading “EFC 14: Manchester By The Sea (A Cold Fish of a Drama)”

You know what my mother used to call me? Dangerous. “You’re a dangerous girl.” She was right.
In the world of modeling, beauty is everything. If you aren’t beautiful, no one will pay attention to you. What could be worse? Actually being beautiful. Continue reading “EFC 13: The Neon Demon”

“We are so wound by time, by its order.”
