Reactions to Corridor of Mirrors (1948), which I watched at the end of last week.

I wonder if this film could be read as about the tension between… I don’t know, Romanticism and formalism, neo-classicism. An ex-painter in an empty mansion, desperate to recapture the past (and a mythical love from another age).

And lots of mirrors, bodies, malingering, beautiful spaces with hidden layers.

A frame from Corridor of Mirrors (1948), showing a woman wearing a very old fashioned, Renaissance era gown. She is standing in front of a large mirror, looking away from it and toward the camera, posing her dark hair away from her shoulders.
A frame from Corridor of Mirrors (1948), showing a man in silhouette, leaning on a Shepard’s cane, looking out over an extremely calm lake with layers of mountains in the background, hazy, in deep focus.
A frame from Corridor of Mirrors (1948), showing a silhouetted figure in a dark robe, walking into a deep panorama of stairs sweeping up toward a courtyard, all in a classical architectural style. The background is bathed in hazy light.
