Motion is created before our eyes, from still shots, as in the montage on the steps, or the three shots of stone lions whose juxtaposition makes the Czarist lion seem to stand up and roar. The very astringency of the proletariat form seemed to bare, as in any stylized form, the sinews of the artist's mind.

...addition the Tea Party boasts a lively, competent organization. The friendly and hip young managers are widely respected throughout the rock industry, and especially so by rock musicians. Most of the groups who appear here seem genuinely pleased with the hassle-free treatment they receive from their handlers at the Tea Party. The importance for rock groups of sympathetic contact with the managements of the clubs they stop at on tour should not be underestimated. Eric Clapton explains the Cream's notorious record of poor live performances by saying that the groups was often harried by insensitive officials...
