Going back to my masters for a moment, much of the writing by the old cinephiles concerned the idea of ‘aura’ – the special feeling you get when you go into the cinema and the lights go down. Writers like Bazin argued that it was specific to the cinema. However, I argue in my thesis that people try to recreate that effect at home by closing the curtains and turning down the lights, although this suggests that people might be taking that just a little too far.
