You can have a movie with hardly any cuts, or very few cuts, that is fascinating, you can`t take your eyes away from it... Look at some of the long takes in Citizen Kane.

When kids can`t afford to see it anymore maybe we`ll have a whole resurgence of garage bands all over America and this New Wave thing will start to mean something on a grass roots level.
