Miracle
First a complete mastery
of classical technique is demonstrated. The mechanic at his workbench receiving
the gift of inspiration is filmed with an angular dolly shot moving in from
left to right behind him.
Then, a
longstanding interest of cinema, the close-up lens, is brought to perfection in
numerous shots verging on microphotography.
Overall, the
effortless script pays homage to St. Narcissus by way of Dali.
The noteworthy
score is like the best of all imagined Vegas lounge music.
