...some, however, Angelopoulos' style may sometimes seem too lingering or, in a sense, too thorough. (Other Angelopoulos films, "Landscape in the Mist" and "The Traveling Players," can be seen at the HFA this weekend). Long, sustained shots prevail, inviting a contemplation of the image's inextricable connection to the passage of time that not all viewers may have the patience to attempt.

He professes to be unconcerned that the buzz surrounding his show is at the moment dangerously quiet. "We will prevail. As more and more people connect to the new cast members, more and more people will be talking about us." Or, as ostensibly patient NBC entertainment chief Don Ohlmeyer reminded reporters in a speech last month, the show "is a work in progress...
