Contagion
The index film for the COVID-19 generation. Wicked sick.
They took the worst case scenario and dialled it up to eleven. An R0 of 4, seizures and meningitis, death in about 1 day? That is a freaking civilisation buster. Our flu++ is child’s play.
My favourite part is Gwyneth Paltrow, the patient zero (yes, that’s derogatory on purpose, index case is too mild for the Goop peddler), being autopsied and getting her scalp ripped off in one piece, like a banana. Science!

This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
