...Reygadas dramatizes this with small, telling gestures in long-take shots of the countryside, using the wide screen to place the land's natural beauty against the internal conflicts of the three main participants. The director also constructs elaborate pairs of sequences, one toward the beginning of Silent Light, the other toward the end.

Katzenberg has staked his DreamWorks Animation's future on the technology; it's the first studio to be creating...
...what you've always dreamed: getting a good night's sleep aboard a plane. If you'll be flying out of Arlanda in the morning, the hostel is just a 10-minute walk from the airport's check-in desks. There's also a café on board, flat-screen TVs, free wi-fi and a viewing platform on the left wing.
