Nolan, who says he wants to shake up the linear traditions of film, wakes up a tired genre with Insomnia. When Pacino shoots his partner, the director's subtle touches leave the audience wondering whether the cop did it on purpose. The same scene appears slightly different each time it is viewed in flashback. "I tend to have quite a fractured mise-en-scene, to use a phrase I don't really understand," says Nolan, who was born in England, studied at University College London and developed his taste for the shady side from American film noir...

A dramatic arc of stadium seating soars out of the grassy meadow, made all the more striking by its elevation above the compressed and linear stands below.

Klee liked to make clear what sort of elements each painting was based on, as a composer states what key he is writing in. There were dot paintings, square paintings, crosshatch paintings and linear ones. The grammar of his compositions was always explicit but, at the same time, often surprising. He loved ruins, ideal scenery, viaducts, pyramids and everything that seemed both ancient and vulnerable: the stability of the pyramidal mountain in Ad Parnassum, 1932 (which translates as "To Parnassus," the mythical mountain of Apollo and the Muses), is decidedly undermined by being constructed from a faux mosaic of minuscule...
