...darts into the audience to record the listeners' rapt faces. Sven Nykvist's extraordinary lighting and framing pours new layers of fantasy onto the story--hands appear out of nowhere, portraits come alive, and airy scenes like Renaissance paintings dissolve into somber, feverish settings lit by stark, bluish fires.

Lower and lower drooped the heads of the two rock musicians, David Teegarden, 27, and Skip ("Van Winkle") Knape, 28.
