Part five in my ongoing series on the visual similarities between the influential Maya Deren and the filmmakers that came after her from the regular culprits (David Lynch & Claire Denis), to new folks like Abel Ferrara & Tom Noonan.

Enjoy...

Meshes Of The Afternoon / Swoon


Deren's influence on Lynch has been well documented. But for those of you who still doubt this - please check out Parts 1 & 2 of my School Of Maya Deren entries...

Studies In Choreography For Camera / One Day Pina Asked / Vers Mathilde

a slight variation of above...
