...pathetic moments with sight gags. But Godard does sometimes let his camera stay fascinated on one face. During these sequences, the camera doesn't move away from the face to explore or make analogies with the outside. It's as though the camera has a straight face. Catching every flicker of a character's eye, every turn of his head is comment enough. The camera watches without explaining...
Brazil's many and mighty rivers offer a wealth of power-producing capacity, but less than 10% of the country's hydroelectric potential is utilized. Even major cities suffer from a severe kilowatt lag. In Rio de Janeiro, lights often flicker-and sometimes die-and Säo Paulo's massive industrial complexes are perennially pestered by a shortage of juice. Prospects are brighter: a giant project abuilding in south-central Brazil will help illuminate some of the country's dark corners and produce a stream of electricity for its cities...

Sometimes movies are even mounted on a plain old rectangular screen-but everywhere there is film, film, film unreeling...
...unpopularity among party workers, who have long memories of 1964 when, after vigorously seeking the nomination, Rocky refused to support Barry Goldwater. Richard Nixon, for one, is known to feel that because of this a Rockefeller nomination next year is out of the question. For Rockefeller to flicker an eyelash toward the prize now would split his fellow moderates, give the conservatives a large target and brand him as a hypocrite...
