...Loeb production is a collection of musical, humorous and choreographical moments with little integrity.

Now the moment you go to a 35mm lens, the perspective begins to change, to elongate. Then you go to a 28mm. In other words, the wider the angle of lens, the more forced the perspective becomes...
