I know it won't last. I know it will be turned into something new very quickly. Even though the location may or may not have some relation to the theme, I find myself filming there just in order to make a record of this wonderful ruined place. The use of sound once again greatly contributes to the film's atmosphere. The constant background drone that helped make Cure such an unnerving experience resurfaces in Charisma.
Sound operates on a slightly different plain.
Film to me is somewhere in between reality and fiction and sound is what defines that place that is neither story nor reality, but in between. Because I think when you're telling the story in visual images you reflect the characters and they can only be that what they are. But in a way sound can give you a three-dimensional signal of the world. In the past, the director has readily acknowledged the American influences in his films. In the case of Cure, he mentioned Seven and The X-Files.
