Cosi

"Cosi" (written by Louis Nowra and directed by Mark Joffe) 'is a film composed of theatre, madness, fidelity, sanity and life'. This essay will analyse tension and movement in a particular scene in this film.

The scene is set in Lucy's house and includes four characters: Lucy, Lewis, Doug, and Nick. Lewis is a uni-drop-out who, at the beginning of the film, takes a last-ditch job in a mental asylum working with inquisitive patients in dramatic arts. After being fired by the asylum management, he continues to work with the patients in secret. Lewis' cast for the Italian opera, "Cosi Fan Tutte" is composed of nymphomaniacs, pyromaniacs, and others who are suffering from compulsive obsessive disorders. Lucy, a practical and assertive solicitor, is Lewis's girlfriend. Nick is a smarmy but cowardly struggling actor/director and is Lewis's friend. He lives with Lucy and Lewis. Doug is an intimidating, loud and manipulative escaped pyromaniac from the asylum. He is eager to regain his lost role in the play and in his search of Lewis, ends up at Lewis' and Lucy's home.

The tension of the situation and characters enhanced the overall effect of the scene. A woman, home alone and naked in the bath is a s


The overall camera direction strengthened this scene's dramatic effect. Close-ups were utilised frequently, the pig, Doug, Lewis and particularly on the knife Lucy used for protection. These close-ups were effective in establishing a focal point on the television screen. This is constructive in forcing the viewer to watch this character or prop, ensuring the viewer obtains the maximum effect of the scene. Several close-ups on the pig released small portions of built-up tension, with the help of sound effects. A narrow focus down the hallway was utilised to construct a feeling of apprehension and being "home alone".

Through the use of different camera angles, gestures, language and mood, the ideas of tension between relationships and priorities of a character's life were highlighted. In addition to this, the character's thorough use of gesture, eye contact, language and space also emphasised these concepts.

This scene is a combination of effects creating excitement, movement, tension and comedy.
