Overview
This magazine is designed to be read from both sides, offering two perspectives on thematically linked films. Each issue explores a pair of films, analyzing their similarities and contrasts across themes like storytelling, atmosphere, and symbolism. For the current issue, Alien and The Abyss are examined through themes such as life and death, the silence of space and the ocean, isolation, technology (spaceship vs. submarine), fear, salvation, and orchestral scores. The magazine culminates in a dynamic splash page where the two films visually and conceptually collide—this page doubles as a detachable, hangable poster. The design and editorial structure enhance the duality, allowing readers to experience each film’s narrative separately before reaching their point of intersection. This immersive format transforms film analysis into an interactive, visually compelling experience.
