This quote by her is exactly how I feel when I am exposed to her work:
"I guess my favorite thing in the world is when I look at a piece of art, or read a story, or watch a movie where I walk away feeling like “Oh my god — I have to do something, I have to make something or talk to someone — things are not the same anymore” — and so I try to make work where you come away with that feeling. It’s like, yeah, you’re thinking about what you just saw, but even more than that — you feel able, you feel like, kind of propelled. "
It also reminded me of a movie I saw at BYU's international cinema called "Women Without Men" that I had such a strong emotional reaction to that I spent hours after crying and praying and yelling in my car in the BYU parking lot. I'm still not entirely sure what about this film created such an emotional upheaval in me, but I greatly admire this film for being able to do so.
What books, films, art, etc have made you feel strongly? I'd love some new material to consider.
