Maggies lecture focused on the senses. She explained how they work not individually, but sort of like a knott. This made me think of my experience when watching the film mandy, directed by Panos Contamos. I left the cinema in a weird dazed state that no film had induced me into before. I honestly felt high which was weird as it was a visual experience and im 90% sure they weren’t pumping narcotics into the cinema. Contamos’s use of limited and intense lighting was unlike any other film id seen and I was in awe of it. He did as maggie had explained - enveloped the viewer in a sensory experience that took the film to a really at times horrific place.
