It’s not embarassing at all, but we did dance like that when it came out, for still a couple of years. Actually I still do it. That’s as close as we had as a “club” track back then. I’m not counting dancehall mind you (oh the sandwiched butterfly).

How to catch the hushed stillness of dusk in a Bengali village when the wind drops and turns the ponds into sheets of glass, dappled by the leaves of Saluki and Shale, and the smoke from the ovens settles in wispy trails over the landscape and the plaintive blows on conch shells from homes far and near are joined by the chorus of crickets which rises as the light falls, until all one sees are the stars in the sky, and the stars that blink and swirl in the thickets.

Cantor’s Deeparture (2005) is as severely economical in its setup as it is intense in its poetic potential. It involves two unwitting players, a wolf and a deer, in perhaps the most unlikely and artificial environment in which they can find themselves—a white-cube gallery. The artist shot the animals in 16mm film with a seemingly unforgiving eye, structuring a series of taut close-ups from various angles into a seamlessly looping video. Confounding expectations, the “natural” predator-prey relationship does not play itself out here. Instead, both animals keep their distance from each other and appear in turn tense, confused, exhausted, and dejected, even oblivious. As viewers are gradually roped into emotional engagement with the ultimately unreadable animals, they’re led to wonder if these nonhuman players serve as a blank screen upon which human emotions and psychological attachments are projected.

The beginnings of this process are already evident in the ‘Decalogue’ films, whose poetic heroines are the epitome of excessive sensitivity and emotionality, moving about in a void, seeming to float above the ground.
his camera follows his protagonists closely, recording their minutest gestures, even the least significant among them. His cinema might be defined as contemplative seeing as the phases that are preparatory and introduce the mood are more numerous and longer than the actual action phases.

Must’ve been another one of those Tuesdays when you were ready to lay out some dough and there wasn’t a damn thing worthy of picking up.

Punctuate sequences with precious images. For instance, the painting scene in “Class Shoot #3″ could have had a close up of the brush smearing paint on the palette, instead of all the scale range coverage.
Find the cracks in reality and show them.
