Do you think monomania can be used purposefully and for great effect, a'la Aronofsky's "Black Swan" or Laurie Halse Anderson's WINTERGIRLS. Both examples (and so many others) are exhausting and claustrophobic, yet outweighed by the skillful execution of the narrative. Seems first person point of view--or a single perspective, and close psychic distance contribute to the obsession of the character--at the expense of any other significant interest. And maybe the above authors/producer manipulate that distance so that the obsession is admirable rather than off-putting. What do you think? This is so fascinating, Kelly! Thank you for posting!<br />MFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16073511642105311548noreply@blogger.com
