Before the instant-messaging could begin, however, a lot of spoken words had to be thrown around—Chu first gave a crash course in messaging to IM newbie Gabriella Gruder-Poni. Amidst audience protests that “this is against the rules,” Chu vocally prompted Gruder-Poni to “press send.” Finally signed on to AOL?...

...childhood. Her charges pack up to resume their wandering, and try to take the Gramophone with them. When the old man protests, they gun him down like an animal and resume their aimless journey. Director Jan Schmidt has given Ozone the spare style of a Kafka fable, abetted by Poničanová's tragic portrait of a woman who seems to be lifted directly from a Kollwitz engraving...
