Every movie has the ability to affect its viewer in a unique way.
From films of wonder and excitement to fear or sorrow, each will ultimately have a prevailing message, but some go above and beyond the realms of entertainment. They want to challenge the audience. Perhaps now more than ever, our gaze needs to widen. We need to question, really question, what we’re watching and what it tells us about every aspect of society.
Directors such as David Lynch or Terrence Malick have mastered this; the art of the unanswered question and looking beyond the obvious. To this end, some films can summon such profound questions that they change the way you perceive life as you once knew it, and alter your perception of the world. While great prose can be so moving, films are a visual feast for the senses and can touch the soul in an entirely different manner.
