tippi hedron appears on my screen after the last post on the souvenir. hitchcock is a potent influence in the film, particularly vertigo, but all the films that seem spun in the same dreamworld. the picture is after the birds, and i'm thinking of marnie, and how sean connery was transfixed by her, as well as how she was terrified and transfixed in the attack and the attic with the birds. how the things that terrify us transfix us and link with sexuality. how we are compelled by what we fear and desire. how even in the aftermath, and resignation, we are transfixed by memory.
