I know this is completely disconnected from other threads, but i'm a
philosophy undergranduate about to write a disseration on film, i'm looking
for films that i could use to exemplify/epitomise certain aspects of the
phenomenology of film, this includes temporality (something like usual
suspects because of kevin spacey talking in the present about past events,
but making these past events present, reverse chronological order, nick of
time maybe for being real time, serials like friends etc.), the way we
perceive depth (i shall be concentrating on merleau-ponty's work, so barton
fink when the postcard becomes reality etc.), perhaps videodrome (slightly
pap i know, but carnality is hard to find), also inner worldliness
(dasein), the way the film is given to us, and the way we understand it
etc. . perhaps being john malkovich for the voyeuristic element to film,
blade runner and angel heart used to describe the change from the novels,
where all story unravels from the subjective (from being the detective in
each) and how this is translated onto film, identification through face-off
any help will be appreciated.
