...impossibly fat old patron. The Battle of Shrewsbury is simply the finest, truest, ugliest war footage ever shot and edited for a dramatic movie. Welles fills Falstaff with motifs to create visual unities: the vast castle wall which dominates shot after shot; the oppressive vacuity of Spanish winter; the rhythmic alternation of static shooting and frenetic camera movement, the visual equivalent of the dramatic-thematic alternation of age and youth. These moments, sequences, unities and transitions are the true substance of film, and it is out of them, more than the familiar words, that Welles's reading is constructed...

The last three movements were less compeling in rhythm than the first, and the winds were often out of tune, but these were minor obstacles to the emotional realization of the music, which was always there...

"Jazz...
...resident of Connecticut since 1941, Richter winters in Switzerland, where he is currently hospitalized with pneumonia. But he still insists that he is unhappy only when he cannot work. His current style: rhythmic, wavelike white-on-white bas-reliefs, ambiguously titled Pro and Contra...
