Eden Lake (James Watkins, 2008)



What's on?
We're going to explore Eden Lake in more detail - its themes and imagery in particular.




What to do?
Look at the picture above. Note down all the connections you find between this and what we have seen so far in Eden Lake. These can be both literal (eg. set in a wood/forest) or more figurative.

Questions to consider as we watch:
Are films cultural artefacts? In other words, products of the societies that make them, influenced by the society that makes them, revealing concerns and attitudes of that society and culture?

Do films exist outside of the society and culture from which they come? Do they deal with timeless, universal ideas that could apply any time, anywhere?
