...long as anyone can remember, villagers called it Tillya Tepe-the Golden Mound. Even so, no one dreamed of the precious relics that might be unearthed in the strange, 12-ft.-high rise of ground located in a cotton field three miles north of the town of Shibarghan in northern Afghanistan. In 1977 a Soviet-Afghan archaeological team began serious excavations. By last fall they had uncovered the mud-brick columns and cross-shaped altar of an ancient temple dating back to at least 1000 B.C.

...maintaining a compositional coherence of the moving image. The background in these takes persistently changes in design and perspective while the foreground is periodically "disturbed" by the turbulence of passing vehicles or silhouetted pedestrians. While the exterior long trackings are executed in medium shots with a pronounced depth of field(except in one specific case), New York streets are clearly visible and constantly changing as the characters walk across the avenues or turn street corners: similarly, in interior sequences, moving characters are followed by the camera in close-ups (with the background exposed as an abstract milieu...
