Meshes of the afternoon

A film by Maya Deren and Alexander Hamid. The music is by Teiji Ito (1943)
In the 40s, Deren made a number of experimental films.
In the beginning of Meshes of the Afternoon, she presents her self and an unknown stranger. She connects both by a flower that is dropped y the first. Interestingly, she then uses repetition, to reveal her self as the stranger. In this repetitiveness she is very successful, by altering each time she repeats a part of the film in a small way. Through this she shows and furthers the plot, as every time the viewer is given a bit more information, and a newly introduced form of the main character.
Though it is somewhat violent, as the main character has conflict between her self with a knife, the film is successful.
The music complements and adds to the element of mistery.

Indifference and Apocrypha

In Fuel Gallery, an exhibition called "Indifference and Apocrypha" opened. It, as is described, shows constant reminders of death. Yet it is portrayed as a loss of innocence. Most of the works have subject maters reminiscent of childhood, yet with a very disturbing factor, not always clearly related to death, but certainly disturbing, harsh. It ranges from Adela Leibowitz’s presentation of blue images of little girls, and peaceful subjects, to Angelou Guingon presenting a man standing in front of a house, well over-armed with canons, and cows in front of the canons. There is no question that there is significance to the pieces, yet the true expression was more affected by the massive crowd of first friday, and performers, as well as protesters of "free drugs" dressed entirely in white, and people with masks, and signs of free hugs in the entrance... the art was not as clear as one would think the artist meant it to be seen.

Almodovar

Pedro Almodovar is an expert in portraying women. He expresses the interactions and conflicts of his characters with delicate beauty and grace. In All about my mother, though the plot is not necessarily something everyone can relate to, but instead quite absurd, the characters are so developed and express emotions in such a way that allow the viewer to connect to them. The combination of the music and different angles adds to this.

In one of the beginning scenes, when Estevan is killed, the portrayal of what he would be seeing works great. It shows the tragic situation in a manner that is not commonly portrayed.
