[Frameworks] two more

[Gene Youngblood]

Friends, in the last couple of weeks you have generously assisted me in finding films with certain content, like shadows, swings, and 360-degree camera moves. They’re for two presentations I’m giving in San Francisco late April, which I’ll tell you more about as the time approaches. Meanwhile, I need two more:

1. Empty city streets. “The World, Flesh, and the Devil” is an example, New York without people.

2. In Woody Allen’s “Annie Hall” subtitles tell us what he and Diane Keaton are really thinking as they talk with one another. I’m drawing a blank on another, more recent, film with well known actors that has a similar scene. My recollection is that it’s not necessarily intended to be humorous, but I could be wrong about that. Any ideas about this or any film in which the technique is used? It has to be text on screen, not voice-over “inner monologue,” which text represents in these instances.
