  1. The incommunicable nature of certain aspects of film leads to descriptions of lyricism, post-modernism, auterism, other -isms almost better left in the dictionary. Clipped diction cannot capture the flickering screen. Writing about film reveals the difficulty of translation: the characteristics of language and focalizations make literature, literature, those of the screen and acting make film, film, and so on. All too often do we get struggled conversions; straight “stage on screen” productions or “cinematic” video games are like isolating the members in a jazz band. Playing in harmony is much sweeter. For cinema especially, magic is abundant (bodies filling Cinemascope or Academy ratio; expressions on faces tuned by close-ups; staccato cuts to black in action) to let passionate troupes come together and create one-off, mold-breaking culminations of all involved. The spirit of collective achievement in fields of human interaction, visual canvases, musical openness, or anything the cast, artists, technicians, etc. aim to uniquely create is what we should talk about when we talk about film. The following are snapshots of films that buoy up not just an auteur in lights or franchised box office, but the flick of an extra’s wrist or a picture of just one detail.
