Preliminary Notes: Cat People
Threatening female sexuality – akin to Film Noir?
Entrapment imagery: panther in cage, cat in the box, bird in cage, Irena in her apartment (she also locks herself in her bedroom) = suppressed sexual desires; an external expression of her psyche through mise-en-scène.
Preliminary Notes: Arabian Nights
The use of form in regards to the narrative (layers of interconnecting stories) supports the content of the film and the idea of storytelling from the original source.

Reading
Perkins, V.F. 1972. Film as Film. London: Penguin Books
- I have been preoccupied with my university application this week so I have been unable to as much extended reading than I would have liked to have done. Though, I began re-reading V.F Perkins Film as Film. Fantastic reading! Every time I read it, I understand his argument better due to the extended reading I have completed in the meantime.
