...synthesized sounds and live orchestra, especially for the dance. Vores’ use of remixed radio excerpts and other unconventional noises complemented the piece’s “fractured” aspect well. But the dissonance of the music, at one point accompanied by an alarm-like bell from the live percussion, made for a rather unpleasant listening experience. The dancers frequently placed their hands on their foreheads as part of the choreography, but at points the motion seemed more like a reaction to Vores’ screeching tones. The music of “On the Brink...
...device the ranchers use to put livestock out of their misery and he sometimes asks his potential victims to flip a coin. If they call the toss correctly they live; if they don't they die. Across from him in McCarthy's radically simplified story structure is Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), the patient and taciturn local sheriff. He comes from a long line of lawmen, and is having trouble comprehending the rising tide of motiveless malignity in his jurisdiction. It has something to do with modernity creeping across his dimly drawn county line, though such abstractions are beyond...

What the two share is a basic philosophy: "We're helping the director get his or her vision up onscreen," says Marshall...
While Marshall was shooting the third Bourne film, Kennedy was putting together Diving Bell, directed by the artist Julian Schnabel and adapted from a memoir by French journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby, who was almost completely paralyzed. Casting the behind-the-camera personalities on the film took some craftsmanship. Kennedy recruited Spielberg's director of photography to help Schnabel deliver a bold visual style, shooting as if the viewer were inside the paralyzed man's body. When the film's French production company balked at the price of an A-list cinematographer, Kennedy persuaded them to find the money elsewhere...
