The Frame

Jean-Luc! You’re not supposed to depress me. Of course, take a story about a young woman whose financial difficulties push her into becoming a prostitute, and I guess it’s just sort of naturally depressing. I didn’t think I liked the film much after watching it, what with the depressingness, but now it’s a couple of months later, and I can’t get it out of my head. There’s so much going on: the way he’s using the camera, the use of negative space (both in the visuals and the soundtrack), the mirror symbolism, the influence of silent cinema…it’s absolutely incredible.
