...revival (same show, same seat) costs $30 on a Saturday night. Taking a cab from Times Square to the elegant Plaza Hotel would have cost 60? in 1953, but today it is about $2.20, without traffic jams-or tip. Once at the Plaza, French pastries in the glow of the crystal hurricane lamps of the Palm Court come dear: $3.95 per gâteau, vs. $1.90. To top off the evening in the best romantic tradition, a horse-and-carriage ride in Central Park is now around $20, instead...
...exquisite cinematography of Vilmos Zsigmond enhances Heaven's Gate's bright moments. Cimino's most striking images of the Old West, shots of gunmen riding across the plain or through smoky streets, their long dustcoats flapping in the wind, have a haunting glow to them, a strange old photograph quality...

Alex Thompson's garish cinematography gives every scene a fantastical fiery glow and Anthony Praff's production design is, by inappropriate turns, marvelous and ridiculous. For instance, most of his medieval castles have a finely detailed primordial look, but his contrast to these palaces, the new and civilized Camelot, is a high-tech Xanadu full of glass and chrome and parapets that...
...pajamas, at Guy sweating and drooling in his sleep. The movie is so permeated by the crisp snap-crackle-pop of late autumn in the mountains, so unabashed before the imperfect facts of life (like flat tires, cracked boots and dirty dishes), that the ugliness takes on an indefinable glow, Les Bons Debarras tells it like it is, but in the process manages to make it magic...
Bakshi seems almost to be the next generation's Disney, provoking blushes (Fritz the Cat, rated X) and gushes (Wizzards, Lord of the Rings). By animating from real-life shots, he limns every nuance of motion, creating a super-reality. Land-scapes and interiors glow with a beauty and vividness that challenge the work of many non-animator cinematographers...
