Cat On a Hot Tin Roof
The unseen character of Brick's lover is a prominent theme in the film. This links in with the idea of the '7th guest' character in my idea - who remains unseen throughout. The idea of a gathering in a large country estate provides an ideal situation for a series of tense asides, suspicious glances and sneaking hysteria - themes I wish to use in my film.
Melancholia Trailer
Lars Von Trier's 'Melancholia' trailer has inspired me through its cold, intense cinematogrpahy. Though I have not seen the film, the trialer depicts a gathering at a country estate and an ensemble cast of characters who have individual troubles and suspicions. The film has been described as an allergory for Kirsten Dunst's character's 'melancholia' - her depression. The idea that a film is based around a single emotional disorder - like the play 'The Wonderful World of Disocia' is intriguing to me.
