...bronzed door knocker the size of three fists of shaped like a gargoyle, and a wooden scroll with Welcome All Ye Who Enter etched in red, tacked upon the molding. Inside a chandelier, tear-shaped bits of glass strung together in the form of a globe, dangles in the hallway; the walls are bumpy, like just dried mud plaster, broken by an oil painting of a girl in a red equestrian's uniform astride an auburn thoroughbred in a forest. The living roomis furnished in imitation gold-leafed Louis XIV, with mustard velvet upholstery and matching floor length drapes. There...

Eight young men darted out of the van and into the building, and were barely inside when cries of "?La migra! ?La migra!" echoed down the hallway.

German revolver, a half-empty bottle of a chloroform-like anaesthetic, and three knapsacks, one of them large enough to hold an adult. So smooth...
...Autumn Afternoon, Ozu cuts in for closeups, but does not employ any of the traditional optical devices to bridge scenes. That would be a little like throwing a pebble to change the reflection in a still lake. Instead, he inserts images-a staircase in shadow, an empty hallway, a narrow, brightly lit street -that not only summarize the tone of the scene just finished but establish the feeling of the one to come. Like stanzas in a poem, the scenes stand apart, enriched by what surrounds them...
