...hulking character that is pianist Chucho Valdes. Valdes is an imposing, giant of a man both in height and in sheer solidity, not to mention musical reputation in the jazz community. His playing is an incomparable mixture of Cuban and North American impulses. Trueba reels in close on his mammoth hands, as they span octaves and meld with the piano's keys in ponderous strokes. Trueba then cuts to a low angle shot down the length of the keyboard as Chucho's hands leap tarantula-like over one another in a frenetic flurry of shaking intensity. His long, hound...

Even now that it has been cleared...
...Berlin's Brandenburg Gate began in November, but the ugly scaffolding that usually surrounds such a building site is nowhere to be seen. Instead, the city's 18th century landmark has been swathed in a series of gigantic posters promoting Deutsche Telekom. The wrapping of construction scaffolding in mammoth ad posters is just one example of "ambient media," a fast-growing marketing genre that's finding new places to advertise in the Old World...
