The presentation to the Harvard-Allston Task Force suggests that momentum is building for the University’s development of its land holdings across the Charles River, though planners expressed some frustration with the slow pace of Harvard’s decision-making process, mentioning several times their attempts to pressure the University to come to a decision about the ideas it has been batting around since last spring. “We’re pushing the University really hard to make...

Demme keeps things cozy the old-fashioned way with long close-ups, slow pans (using a Steadicam) and editing cuts that are as sure and steady as the music and musicianship. Some sequences create such an ambiance of immediacy that you may have to restrain yourself from breaking into applause. There's also great attention to detail. Demme ensures that no one misses...
