...film moves in a seamless fashion from pow-wow discussions involving the supporting cast to odd shots of hands and candles and lights fading in and out. The rest of the cast (T. Wendy McMillan as the professor Kia, Migdalia Melendez as Kia's lover, Evy, and the cavorting Daria, played by Anastasia Sharp) gossip about the progress of Max and Ely's romance. And I forgot to mention, the entire film is made in black and white...
...Harvard audiences, his seamless juxtapositions of the random places on campus where he was allowed to shoot may feel disorienting, but in a fun way. The cinematography of Sven Nykvist (of Ingmar Bergman fame) is competent, but it has none of the passion of his most recent work, the lyrical "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" and the truly horrible (but well-filmed) "Sleepless in Seattle...
These breakneck deals are possible because Wall Street today has transformed itself into a virtually seamless network of computer-linked brokers, dealers and exchanges around the globe. It is no longer (if it ever really was) defined by the canyons of buildings surrounding the New York Stock Exchange near the southern tip of Manhattan. The trades take place in an electronic neverland that can be entered from anywhere in the world. Billion-dollar transactions involving derivatives or other securities that once took hours or days to handle are now routinely completed in seconds -- with all the potential risk or reward...
...Mexico's 90 million citizens know but sometimes try to forget, their country is not a seamless unity but a patchwork of dissimilar people and unequal progress. Roughly the top half of the country has joined the 21st century; the rest is mired in unyielding poverty. Differences among the pieces of the mosaic have increased, and the gap between rich and poor has widened during the country's economic advance. Salinas began his six-year term in & office in 1988 by selling off hundreds of bloated state-owned companies and deregulating private industry; he tightened credit to bring inflation down...
...most honest picture is one that has been fooled with the least. He crops and retouches; he coaxes the sitter and takes multiple shots until the subject's self-presentation matches some need of his own. More recently he's been combining three or four negatives in a seamless collage technique that produces what appears to be a single picture. Even when he seems to be following rules, he can be subverting them. The intense clarity of his portraits gives them the appearance of a documentary record, yet these are highly wrought -- and expensive -- art objects intended to serve Avedon...
