Morris' Mirror and Frampton's Lemon were very simple films. Mirror focused on the 'looking' aspect shown in other films such as A+B in Ontario, which I believe is an interesting connection to make. It again stresses how subjective of a medium film (and all other art forms, for that matter) are. Whatever we're shown is the only thing we can see from that space. I believe films which focus through a second lens or eye satirize who believe, claim or haven't yet realized that film can in no way be objective (which isn't fundamentally or necessarily bad).
Semiotics of the Kitchen... I'm not too sure what I have to say about that yet. Maybe an update will come... But, for now, I will say that I found it humorous apart from the deadpan humor she tried to employ. Woah! I just NOW noticed that all the tools went in alphabetical order. That actually helps clarify the U, W, X, Y, Z thing at the end. (Although I still dont' fully understand the stabbing pan or the 'chucking' of food products over her shoulder via ladles and tablespoons).
That's what discussions are for, right?

Instead of talking about a work you are unsure about (Semiotics of the Kitchen) expand your thoughts on one that has inspired you to think deeply (Mirror). The first paragraph of this blog contains a lot of ideas that could've been more developed.
