With a penchant for Old Hollywood, Erynn M. is dedicated to recapturing the classic era of cinema in a way that is relevant to her modern lens.
The Death of Socrates
Written & Directed by Erynn M.
“The Death of Socrates left a lasting impression, due to both its high production value and its unique subject matter. This is a deeply reflective metaphysical piece exploring the grief felt by Crito of Alopece after the death of his mentor, Socrates. The film presents a conversation held in a dark liminal space between life and death, where light from a single window illuminates the interlocutors and the draped table that separates them. The set is simple but artistic, reminiscent of scenes depicted in classical paintings, and includes a familiar red-blue color dichotomy used to create striking visual contrast. While I was unsure of what to expect due to lack of knowledge about ancient Greek philosophy, this film is one that leaves you with food for thought regardless.”
