His people go about their business as if in a trance; their eyes do not meet or stare out at the viewer, for almost every figure seems to be looking in a private direction of his own. No detail of Venice's rich architecture is overlooked, yet the city, with its innumerable chimneys, seems imaginary.

...instance, running through the streets in pajamas crying, "Rejoice, solders! We lost the War!" A cast left anonymous in tribute to the real Naples performs superbly, especially, in its use of animated facial gesture. One man being led away for the work crews wrinkles his features into a soulful stare that would have made Chaplin envious. Photography and timing art both managed with artistic sensitiveness...
