David Farrier discusses why it was important for him to expose the framework of gaslighting and its dangers in his latest documentary, Mister Organ.
The Big Picture In 1944, George Cukor unknowingly coined a popular term in his thriller Gaslight. In the film, audiences watch as Ingrid Bergman’s Paula is made to feel like she’s losing her mind by her beau, Gregory , who has sinister intentions. This crazy-making type of mental manipulation has come to be known in the English vernacular as “gaslighting” and has picked up steam over the last 20 years.
As anyone who’s experienced gaslighting can attest to, it’s a very lonely place to be, in which the victim finds themselves questioning everything they know. For this reason, it’s likely that Farrier oftentimes second-guessed his very own production. “Michael’s like the master at isolating people – I was incredibly lucky in that I had this really committed little team around me that never went away.
When the time came for the movie to begin screenings, Farrier said, “My main fear is that I was just in all of this alone, but having other people watch it and react to it is… well, it’s everything and that’s a great feeling.” He also reached his goal of not only creating a riveting documentary that pulls audiences in but also one that may help viewers spot a gaslighter in their own lives.
An Exhausting Hour and a Half with Mister Organ Known for his work behind Netflix’s spooky and sometimes dangerous travel series Dark Tourist, Farrier explains that he was going for a more “hyper-focused” production with Mister Organ: “I guess I wanted people to spend 90 minutes with a very specific kind of man doing very specific things, and you could just, as an audience, observe him doing them and pulling the strings, and just be party to that.
