The "shut up" was indeed less expected in the higher-class family of a high-ranked officer.<BR/>I rewatched it and the wife doesn't look as wary as I remembered. Though, when a guy invite himself to her house to accuse loudly your husband of murder and insult the reputation of your family, I don't think the first think in her mind is to take souvenir snapshots of a film crew to put in your photo album...HarryTuttlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10721542203087536185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-718363357363343340.post-24403870434089634732008-05-29T04:58:00.000-07:002008-05-29T04:58:00.000-07:00Brilliant.

The position of the wives in all of the various settings was interesting to me, though. It was rare that any of them really intervened with an opinion of some kind. The scene you refer to, Harry, and the scene where the woman takes the picture...I think of her photographing the photographers as a small exercise in her power as a victim of the camera's gaze. Maybe?<BR/><BR/>-Whitney<BR/>dearjesus.wordpress.comwhitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048153758556096552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-718363357363343340.post-57803346381784529582008-05-28T11:10:00.000-07:002008-05-28T11:10:00.000-07:00Isn't it the scene when later that woman complains...Isn't it the scene when later that woman complains offscreen to get the crew out, and her husband tells her to shut up. At the end of the interview the man apologizes for the misbehaviour of his wife?

And Koshimizu's wife cleverly records evidences in case of legal suits. I don't know if she suspects them to be fake, or if she's just being extra cautious. But it shows the ambiguous relation between reality and fiction.HarryTuttlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10721542203087536185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-718363357363343340.post-91660532861976292332008-05-27T21:49:00.000-07:002008-05-27T21:49:00.000-07:00Alternate title:Où gît votre sourire enfoui?Alternate title:<BR/>Où gît votre sourire enfoui?Ignatiy Vishnevetskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877465254612151095noreply@blogger.com
