Atlas note · Japan → United States

I studied Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon, a perfect film about the relativity of truth and perception, and the ambiguity of its various points of view. I applied this structure to the ambiguity of Regan’s possession in 'The Exorcist', where you don’t fully know what is true.
