This study of Darren Aronofsky's films goes deeper than the auteur direction, but rather focuses on the spectator and the senses employed in a viewing of his work. The study is deeply concerned with his audio-visual style and the subsequent emotions provoked in the audience. Explores his interest in mental processes and situates this against the operations of the body. Argues that the emotional intensity of his work inspires a self-reflection in the viewer.
