Every composed frame and deliberate cut is evidence that control can be thrilling in its own right.

Put Who Framed Roger Rabbit on trial.
Two incompatible taste archetypes. One film. Read the arguments, then issue a completely binding cultural ruling.
“Technique in search of a pulse.”
Immaculate construction is still construction. The film may be too busy proving its craft to feel alive.
