Illusions of Past Lives
David Liu | 25 February 2012
“The mystery is that even if we know that it’s only staged, that it’s a fiction, it still fascinates us. That’s the fundamental magic of film. Illusion persists. There is something real in the illusion, more real than in the reality behind it.”
— Slavoj Žižek
Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941)
—
“When events are represented through cinema, they become shared memories of the crew, the cast, and the public. A new layer of synthetic memory is augmented in the audience’s experience. In this regard, filmmaking is not unlike creating synthetic past lives.”
— Apichatpong Weerasethakul
