Watching a Darren Aronofsky movie can make you feel like a lab rat scurrying around a maze for some of that sweet, sweet cheese. First, we intensely search for meaning; then we take a minute to stare blankly at a wall; and finally we frantically return to navigating our nightmarish labyrinth. It is, more often than not, a frightening and dizzying experience.
So, how much of this feeling can be attributed to the dark thematic matter in Aronofsky's movies, and how much of it can be attributed to composition?
A video essay from STUDIO LITTLE illustrates the way in which camera movement, blocking, framing, and even the shape of objects collectively contribute to the jarring nature of Aronofsky's films.
