...Janeiro's broad sidewalks, with their wavy black and white lines, are famous for the visual life and zest they add to the city. Many European streets have the texture of roughhewn stone and are decorated as well. By contrast, sidewalks in the U.S. are merely straight and narrow paths of relative safety. Yet they can be more, as New Yorkers learned last week when "the Calder Sidewalk" suddenly appeared...
...scene. There are few close-ups in the film; most of the shots, in fact, are full-length portraits: Itard standing in his frock coat at his writing desk, his housekeeper pouring milk into a white china bowl, the boy drinking water at a window. The visual effect is to capture the period charm of engravings. By discovering conventions and exploiting them, Truffaut is inviting us to share in an artistic is trust with him.

...enters a time-machine which looks like a high-school biology model of the human brain: scientists have told him that he will re-live exactly one minute of his life, at a point exactly a year ago. The machine goes berserk, and what follows is a visual montage of the man's past. Time barriers are simply not observed, and jumps from one sequence to the next follow a pattern which dimly emerges as the film proceeds...

Two facts: the best seats at concerts are not the ones besieged by the best sound-they're the ones which afford the freest view, permitting the eye to wander at random; and great groups have great visual styles. This is all obvious...
