Why do we experience catharsis at the movies? ⠀ ⠀ “What is experienced in such an excess of tragic suffering is something truly common. The spectator recognizes [themselves] and [their] fitness in the face of the power of fate... To see that ‘this is how it is’ is a kind of self-knowledge for the spectator, who emerges with new insight from the illusions [they] live.” ⠀ — Gadamer (via @thecolumbialion) ⠀ ⠀ Scene from Alonso Ruizpalaco’s most excellent debut feature, GÜEROS (2014) ⠀ ⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #Güeros #alonsoruizpalacios #tenochhuerta #ilsesalas #sebastianaguirre #leonardoortizgris⠀ #experimentalfilm #avandgarde #cinematic_imagery #firstdayfirstimage #arthouse #arthousecinema #independentcinema #independentfilm #indiefilm #instacinema #cinemagram #mexicancinema #blackandwhite #blancoynegro
