By close-ups of the things around us, by focusing on hidden details of familiar objects, by exploring common place milieus under the ingenious guidance of the camera, the film, on the one hand, extends our comprehension of the necessities which rule our lives; on the other hand, it manages to assure us of an immense and unexpected field of action.
This makes me think of how close-up can make an ordinary object suddenly feel strange or significant. The camera can transform everydayn reality by controlling what the viewer pays attention to.
