Carnival of Souls (Herk Harvey, 1962)“[A]s Peter Wilshire wrote about Carnival of Souls in Offscreen Magazine in 2007: “It’s as if Mary is flickering in and out of existence; that she appears to inhabit an otherworldly or parallel universe.” Scacchioli and Core’s flickering, fractured film also calls attention to the doubling inherent in Carnival of Souls. Whenever Mary sees the ghostly face of the man, the camera deliberately frames them as counterparts, either with reflections (in a mirror or a window) or rapidly alternating zooms. Her moods likewise convey a split; through most of the film she is sullen, even venomous. But she will suddenly turn giddy. When she visits the pavilion, she seems exhilarated, almost drunk.” — Kier-La Janisse. -- source link
