Williams-the-director throws away some excellent opportunities. When Saint-Just finishes a speech, for instance, he is left on the raised platform with Robes-pierre. A look then would have explained their relations. There is no look. The blocking was equally revealing. People pop up and down quite predictably, exchange places and assume new postures, at the end of each lengthy speech or exchange...
