maybe like liv ullman in the film i should decide not to speak from now on- everything that i say will be a misinterpretation, an outright lie or a half truth.
i find it very difficult to be able to articulate what exactly the film was about for me.
so many things- all translucent and disjointed.
and everytime i begin to speak it reduces itself into cliche.
but yet, i feel the need to say something.
thats what the blog is for, no?
for whom i don't know. and for what?
yesterday i told aditya it must be about making my life into a series of 'events'
to be recorded and remembered and therefore not completely meaningless.
Susan Sontag : "What Persona demonstrates is the lack of an appropriate language, a language that's genuinely full. All that is left is a language of lacunae, befitting a narrative strung along a set of lacunae or gaps in the 'explanation'. It is these absences of sense or lacunae of speech which become, in Persona, more potent than words while the person who places faith in words is brought down from relative composure and confidence to hysterical anguish."
