I probably didn’t manage to close the loop on Submerged in yesterday’s update. The experience of watching a film in a blacked-out space where your own body isn’t visible, and it envelops your senses so completely that it becomes the entire world, and it’s shot like a traditional film with changing camera angles and the buildup of suspense and you’re just forced along for the ride — this powerlessness is movie viewing turned up to 11. You’re inside the director’s vision and can’t really look away.
