In Meditation on Violence, Maya Deren captures and recreates a Haitian dancer's intense momentum, editing close-ups and medium shots together well. The three-part structure, where the dancer wears a costume in the 2nd part while he is topless in the 1st and 3rd, adds visual and psychological dynamics.
