Mirror, Lemon and Semiotics

Monday's films were a little hard for me to swallow. I appreciate each in its own way, but as discussed in discussion, I am having a hard time glorifying them. I appreciate "Mirror" for its playful trickery. A snowy field was the perfect scene for it, I think the same location on a summer day would have made it almost impossible to interpret. It would have been too loud, and lost its purpose. "Lemon" didn't quite have the same appeal as mirror did, but it was interesting to see the highlighted texture of the peel. The effect of lighting positions was interesting. "Semiotics of the Kitchen" was definitely my favorite of Monday's films. I thought it had hilarious attitude and I can maybe buy into the whole stereotypical housewife role -but, to me, that just seems way too easy and cliche.
