Obsessive-compulsives often have flashes and paranoid fears over disasters as Meryl does: eg. sharks attacking her, being run down by cars, dying of AIDS. These thoughts often intervene in normal thought processes and are distressing. This is normally stopped through art-therapy (Meryl is an artist) and anti-depressants. These symptoms are often brought about by depression over deaths in the family or stress from overwork (Meryl is suffering from both of these in the text).
This movie represents the obsessive-compulsive nature of Meryl in the Sarah Watt's film 'Look Both Ways'. It carries suggestions of mental illness and mental flashes of death that the characters suffer as premonitions and symbols in their confused lives. Meryl often has animated flashes in her mind that recur around death and decay. This is often combatted with cognitive behavioural therapy by psychiatrists. The character Nick also suffers from these delusions in the text.
