FULL SPOILERS FOR PRISONERS IN VIDEO!!

In this video essay we dive into the archetypal symbolism of the maze in Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners (2013). Throughout my analysis I also go into the historical context of mazes and labyrinths and how proper usage of a symbol can greatly enhance the quality of a story.
