  • Murder Psalm (1981) 16 mins. Stan Brakhage

I feel like this film was about paralysis. It freezes your mind because you cannot change what you are seeing. there is not a lot that can be grabbed. The film does not allow the viewer to move within it. It plays with the notion of what film is becaue it in front of you and you are stuck with the image no matter what. Gives a feeling of malevolence and dark thoughts. The bleeding of images between characters gave a push/ pull effect to it. The voice of the maker is definitely created through a subjectivity and personal idiosyncrotic voice. As a result, scenes are mixed and matched together.
