...first hour of a big story, a wire-service reporter's zeal and television's vivid eye often provide the best witnesses of the event. But then come the consequences-not so easy to photograph or to flash as a bulletin. Any confrontation so major as the Cuban crisis leaves behind it an international trail of responses, regrets and reappraisals. Sometimes these become the most lasting effect of the event, as peoples and their leaders take new account of the shifting forces, and respond accordingly...
...came aerial films with truly worrisome signs. They showed roads being slashed through tall timber, Russian-made tents mushrooming in remote places. The order went out to photograph Cuba mountain by mountain, field by field and, if possible, yard by yard...

Too often they have gone little beyond the scope of the legitimate theater; they have done little more than photograph a play heightened in its vividness by close-ups, mob scenes, fast-paced cutting and all the other techniques worked out over the last fifty years. And almost no one has created a film so uniquely a film as Alain Resnais (director) and Alain Robbe-Grillet (screenwriter...
