A Short Collection of Film Stills Dealing With Perspective.

Drive (2011) Dir. Nicolas Winding Refn. A complicated affair; the composition illustrates brilliantly here The Drivers inability to take his love interest for his own.
Last Year at Marienbad (1961) Dir. Alain Resnais. An enigmatic film dealing heavily with repetition, placing affairs into an uncertain continuity.
Peeping Tom (1960) Dir. Michael Powell. In this penultimate scene, the anti-protagonist Mark faces his trauma (a video projection) which led him to subsequent murders, while behind him on the right is his love interest and saving grace.
Mulholland Dr. (2001) Dir. David Lynch. Here a woman with no memory of her own identity searches for a name so as to not rouse suspicion in a helpful stranger. Ironic that in this movie centred on the film industry she chooses an actresses name taken from a reflection; both film and mirror, a mimetic medium.
