...also static. French critic Michel Ciment called Ghost 2 "animation without animation"--a cartoon in which the images don't move much. On stolid figures and faces, only the mouths move, as in the old Clutch Cargo TV series. The action scenes don't move at a clip either. Sometimes Oshii preens a little, as when the camera tracks slowly around an object.

Cinematographer Christopher Doyle matches the director's artistry and energy with a luscious camera style that sees beyond surfaces into essences. He takes ravishing pictures of troubled souls...
...outspoken critic of the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) admittedly violated a trespass order for the entire campus by stepping foot in the Kennedy School of Government (KSG) on June 22—but Herms is arguing the ban was illegal in the first place...
