The three reviews of Breathless are written from separate lenses. What are those three lenses? What audiences do you think each one is targeted towards? How does your understanding or lack of understanding of certain methods of criticism influence the way you read these reviews? Even though they are reviewed from different lenses, how do they paint the same picture of the film? How does reading their opinions influence the lens you will have when you view the film? Which one did you find most important to your understanding of the film?
Well, the answer to that last question had better be, "Why, the Long Pauses review, of course."
If you've ever taken a college film course, or if at least one shelf of your personal library is devoted to film books, then you likely own a copy of Bordwell and Thomspon's Film Art. While digging through my site stats, I discovered that the Chapter 11 Internet Exercises now direct readers to Long Pauses. Ain't that something?
