Meshes of the Afternoon

One thing I admire in this film is the use of sound. The sound of the key falling that is disjointed from the image of the key falling and continues as she walks into the house and then turns into something else entirely is really interesting. I like the way the dark, jarring music only comes on at certain moments. It puts me immediately into the realm of nightmare each time it occurs, building suspense in a way that makes the silence of the scenes in between stand out even more. It also draws my attention to the potential violence or horror in the visuals, for instance, when the mirror woman lays the flower on the bed or when they are all sitting around at the table with the knife which turns into the key.
