...actors. In the case of blocking, the lack of acting off center stage makes the rest of the theatre seem cluttered with statues rather than actors. For example, when Titus renounces his children, one would expect his sons to be grief-stricken at both their father’s anger and their brother’s death. Instead, they expressionlessly examine the corpse as though it were a lab cadaver...

In one of the film's sharpest, most surprising scenes, Mrs. C. slaps it in anger, then promptly caresses and coos to it. Mummy hits you, Mummy loves you.

Inside the Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas, Chávez - who had yet to lose an election since winning the presidency in 1998 - was visibly upset. Still, according to government sources, he soon checked his anger and insisted the tally would turn his way before the CNE announced the results at 10 pm. But aides knew better: one slipped into his office and began calling newspapers, asking contacts at each one to secretly hold off printing victory op-ed articles that Chávez officials had written...
