Title
The governess investigates Bly Manor
Description
Film stills (1:09:43) from The Innocents (1961), directed by Jack Clayton. The drawn out sequence wherein the viewer walks through the manor alongside the governess, accosted by spectral whispers and folie, creates complete immersion in the dread the character faces. The abstracted vocabulary of the environment is built upon from the source illustration, being able to see a character attempt to escape complete darkness.
