Description
We are born into a world of which we know nothing other than the certainty of our own death. That is the primal basis for horror: We appear to inhabit a universe whose architect either does not exist or is remote enough to not care. So, we construct shelters to protect ourselves from external evils, but we are inevitably inspired by the architecture of the natural world; thus, the fears that motivate us to build a house, a castle, a church, an office tower, are invariably wed to the structure itself. Lecturer Vincenzo Natali, whose film CUBE famously focuses on monstrous architecture, will examine how this drama plays out in horror fiction, dissecting the relationship between character and environment in horror cinema beginning with German Expressionism and leading into late 20th Century films like ROSEMARY’S BABY, SUSPIRIA, THE SHINING, and ALIEN. He will explain how these films use cinematic tools to create immersive environments with a heightened atmosphere that invites the uncanny. Finally, he will show how metaphor and anthropomorphism in architectural structures reflect the fears of protagonists moving through these spaces.
Presented by Vincenzo Natali
