Frozen style and strong emotions of panic and separation: Trier's prologues to Antichrist and Melancholia

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

The article analyses the aesthetics of two Trier prologues using cognitive psychology. It focuses on how the films evoke anxiety and panic, and how the panic is contained by means of providing visual and musical aesthetic order to the dynamic emotional forces; by providing ambiguous reality indicatiors; and by cueing sublime submission to fate
