Meshes in the Afternoon Response

Maya Deren did a good job on keeping the viewer attentive yet still searching.  The camera angles at times would tilt as the actress supported the loss of balance by falling in the opposite direction.  Very good job on causing disorder and confusion.  I could not grasp a definite meaning to the movie or what was to be gained except that it was some sort of a dream/memory loop.  What i found funny was that the first time she ever tries to open the door after knocking, it is supposed to be locked but she slightly opened and shut the door on accident.  Or perhaps this was intentional and the viewer was to understand that she perhaps did not need the key yet used it anyways.
