WEEK 4 POST: “And Now For Something Completely Different!”

In the context of the term “narrative” becoming something less “language-based” and more visceral, I found this film. Don’t worry, it’s not another experimental mashup that I found as a stock standard post. It’s a student film that features traditional narrative structure, but with an experimental mashup. There is no dialogue involved, and only one female protagonist. As she goes through her daily activities, there is something unsettling about the whole film. The jading cuts along with sinister content to try and convey a message, expresses Ryan’s point of view about narrative being purely aesthetic to put a point across, to which it may be philosophical, or just completely out there. However, by watching this we can identify how the audience may interpret the story differently to what the auteur imagined. Enjoy!
