MASKS

Suggestions welcome. I’m just gonna pick one each from the Batman, Spiderman and Star Wars sets.

Not on mubi:

Children of the River (Gessain).
The Great Molo Mask.

Kubrick often got his performers to hold their expressions in mask-like manner. In this list i’m thinking mainly physical masks but of course film is full of masked emotions. Hara Setsuko’s smile in Late Spring, in which we also have the theatre performance. Dogon masks have been an important cultural facet of Mali.
